Father Dutch on Popping the Cues
ton"

WHAT curious sensation it produces
upon the feelings and tongue of man
when he is about to perform such mis-
sion! Why does the elegantly arranged
sentence which he has studied with SO
much care, in order alike to avoid formal
ty, begin to seem bald, bold and bunglng
just as it is about to be put into practice ?
Why do you feel choking, as with thirst,
and yet could not drink the cliNcr of life
if it were presented to YOU Why would
you pay hundred dollars a.step to have
the staircase twice as long rs il is, yet you
20 up as hastily as if you were escaping
rom poor relation? Why does that
pleasing bow, with which YOU have SO
often stopped to ccnquer-you know it
seem TO you at once great deal too low,
and great deal too slight and altogether
abominable Why do you wish you had
put on that other cravat? In short, why
is your sense so keenly awakened to the
outward man and to the outside phrase,
why do you forge. t'iat YOU have
hitherto looked like gentleman and spo-
ken like philosopher, and generally done
your duty in that state of life in which it
had pleased Providence to place you, and
that there is no particular reason why, at
one o'clock this fine day, you should make
a failure? 1t is a satisfactory answer TO
say that all this is because there sits in the
low chair near the window, in that draw
ingroom, bright eyed young person of
the opposite sex, who, if you could only
see it, can hardly hold her crotchet work
for her trcmor who knows intensely what
you mean, and what YOU have come for,
and who designs to make you the kindcst
possible answer, poor thing! if she should
bc able to find words, and who, in the
mean time, is in about rs fit n condition
to criticisc you as we are to correct the
