THE SEXES.

THE SEXES.
See in the Babe two loveliest flowers united-yet
in truth,
While in the bud they seem the same-the virgin
and the youth
But loosen'd is the gentle bond, no longer side by
side
From holy Shame the fiery Strength will soon itself
divide,
Permit the youth to sport, and still the wild desire
to chase,
For, but when sated, weary strength returns to
seek the grace.
Yet in the bud the double flowers the future strife
begin,
How precious all-yet nought can still the longing
heart within.
In ripening charms the virgin bloom to woman
shape hath grown,
But round the ripening charms the pride hath
clasp'd its guardian zone;
Shy, as before the hunters horn the doe all trem-
bling moves,
she loves!
From lowering brows this struggling world the
fearless youth observes,
And, hardened for the strife betimes, he strains
the willing nerves;
Far to the armed throng and to the race prepared
to start,
Inviting glory calls him forth, and grasps the
Protect thy work, o Nature. now! one from the
other flies,
Till thou unitest each at last that for the other
sighs.
There art thou, mighty one where 'er the dscord
darkest frown,
Thou CALI the meek harmonious Peace, the god
like soother down,
The noisy chase is lull'd asleep, days Glamour
dies afar,
And through the sweet and yelled air in beauty
- come the STAR
Soft-sghing through the crisped reeds, the brook
let glides along,
And every wood the nightingale melodious fills
with song.
o virgin! now what instinct heaves thy bosom
with the sigh?
o youth and wherefore steals the tear into thy
dreaming eye'
Alas! they seek in vain within the charm around
bestow'd,
The tender fruit is ripen d now and bows to earth
its load.
And restless goes the youth to feed his heart upon
its fire,
All, were the gentle breath to cool the fame Of
young desire!
And now they meet-tbe holy love that leads them
lights their eyes,
And still behind the winged god the winged vic
tory flies.
o heavenly Love!-'tis thy sweet task the human
flowers to bind,
For aye apart, and yet by thee for ever inter-
twined!

A TIGHT PLACE.

While sitting at our desk the other day,
and laboring assiduously with pen, scissors
and paste, TO make out readable paper for
our patrons, we were suddenly enlightened
from our proprieiy," by the entrance of a
gentleman, exclaiming "For Gods sake,
hel p me to see what's the matter I've got

"Wha,'s The matter - asked we.

the gentleman.

gentleman; ''help me to see what it is.

front Of your office, and felt i. dar, up my
leg, as quick as Igh,ning,'' ,''--anG he clench-
ed his fis, more tightly. If i, had been the
neck Of an anaconda, we believe he would
have squeezed it to jelly.
BY this time two or three of the news
boys had come in; the clerks and packing
boys hearing the outcry, stopped working.
and editors and all hands stood around .be
suffer er with looks Of mingled sympathy
and aIarm.
"Bring chair, Fritz" said we, "and lie,

squeeze-I'tl crush i. TO dealh," said he
and again he put the force Of an iron vice
upon the thing. If had eny life left, hi.
asst effort must have killed it. He ther
cautiously seated himself, holding out hi:
leg as stiff and slrs gh, as poker. A SHARP
knife was procured; the panls were cut oper
carefully, making hole large enough tc
admit a hand the gentleman put on thick
glove, and slowly inserted his hand, but hi
discovered nothing. We were ell looking
on in almost bres,hless silence 10 see ths

A TEXAN VISIT.

An entertaining work lately published,
entitled "A Stray Yankee in Texas" says
that when gentleman pays a visit in Tex
as, no matter what press Of business there
msy be, certain ceremonial is always ss-
credIy observed. The rider pulls up his
horse, and shouts out, s'Hslloo!'
Which means, 'Good people, ! am here,
and here J mean to stay until you come ou,
and keep the dogs off; then, after an in
'erval, the proprietor makes his appearance,
and very eisurely approaches the fence
without speaking word; he next throws
one leg over the fence, then the other fol-
lows; and, having attained the top, seats
himself very deliberately upon it, and awaits
the next move from the other party.
The latter now brings his horse alongside
the fence, and the conversation commences
"How are ye, judge -
"rm right peart; how's yerself?"
ooh, keep pushin'; how's the old wo-
man and The boys?"
'Considerable sassy, only thar's been a
smar. chance Of ager down in our neck OF
the woods"
$50, smart chunk Of pony thar?''
Eyes, sir, he's some punkins, sure Of
fered ten cows and calves for him; he's

"Come from down the prairie 20
"Yes, sir. and hurried up my cri!.er righ,
smart, ] tell you."
SHOWS the craps?''
"Well, they amt noin' to brag on, though
we've got gush of peaches"
The gentleman upon the fence now de-
scends from j, with due deIiberatIon, and,
approaching the occupant Of the horse,
shakes hands with him in a solemn and edi-
flying manner; he then surveys the horse
from stem to stern, probably examines his
mouth TO ascertain his age, and, having per-
formed all these duties with due decorum,
he next proceeds to exhbi. his hospitality.
"Come, Judge, ligh! and Tie your horse
out"
Without any further remark, the judge
did as he was desired and, having found
stake driven in the ground, he affixed to it
one end Of the csberos Chair rope) which
was attached to his horses neck, took
off saddle and bride, hung them upon the
fence, and made for the house.
The great gravity with which such affairs
ere invarisbly conducted amused me very
much until became accustomed to it, and
came to look upon it as matter Of course.
