Host 7ransccndant and Charming Mss
Il would that my pen were dipped in the
dies of the rainbow, plucked from the wing
Of an angel, that 1 might expect to paint
the burning brightness ofthat flame which
thy thrilling eloquence hath enkindled.-
Thou soft moonlight of sentiment-soft
soap of consistency-thy voice is as gentle
as the first stirring Of an infants dream,
as melodious in mine ears as the braying
of a mule-thy step as light as the ylvan-
footed zephyr that famed with the wing
Of perfume the gable end of the newborn
paradise, Thy eyes are brilliants-stolen
from the seraphs-thy lips are vivid as
rosebuds, moistened with the dews of af-
fection-thy words are as drops of amber
thy teeth are like snow set in verbena
bed. Oh! sweet spirit of camphor =
double distilled essence of hartshorn! Sour
kraut of my hopes, apple-sauce of my
thoughts, buttermilk catsup of my fancy,
tiger of innocence, butter Of perfection,
legwood of melody-thou art the gin and
fancy of my dreams, the brandy-smash of
my waking visions, and Santa Cruz of my
recollection. Thou art as harmless as a
leopard or a creased streak Of lightning
churned to consistency in the milky whey
Thou art as innocent as tiger, handsome
an elephant, melodious as lion. Oh
onion of my soul, picked pumpkins of my
affections, preserved crabs of the garden of
Smiths Island, where desperate love
dwells | am yours, &c.

a 'lucky hit in the tea, cake, and coffee
business, and set up his establishment on
the ton principle. Everything was rec1ercis
as one of the gentlemen with moustachios
observed, and the tapestry, the carpets,

the young ladies said.
One of the finest ''works of art" embel-
fishing the parlor-walls of the host, Mr..
Alright, was large and exquisitely elab-

ladies and gentlemen, the host came up and
astonished the company by observing
"Ah-h-h! that's superb, isn't it ladies'
isn't it grand?''
"Be-e-e-w -tiful !" cried they.
"Superb! very fine !" said the gents.
"My wife drew that" said Alright.

gents, Mortified at the idea of an "above

his wife's genius; it's worth thousandw
"Oh, dear don't mention itr cry the
ladies. "Mrs. Alright will be positively
shocked at your remarks upon her pic

which was evidently inflicted with bowie
knife, he managed to reach house corr

he expired in attempting to give descrip-
tion of the person who stabbed him.
Beng almost exhausted from loss of blood
he was unable to articulate more than a
few incoherent werds, from which, howev-
er enough was gathered to fix suspicion
upon a Mexican called Cayote Charley,
well known to the police of this city as
desperate thief; and from the fact that he
was seen in company with the deceased
a short time previous to the occurrence,
and was aware that the deceased was in
possession of a considerable amount of
money, there is much to warrant the belief
that he is the murderer As soon as the
police became aware of the occurrence,
their whole available force was put in
motion to discover the assassin; but at the
