FOOT.


There's magic in a pretty foot,
And well the ladies know it
And sho who has u pretty one,
Is pretty sure to showit.
At times you, too, are martyred by
The incest little ankle,
That shoots an arrow through the eyes,
Within your heart to rankle.
OF course you turn your gaze aside,
And all your bushes stiae,
For well you know she's not aware
Her skirts are raised a trifie.
Nut should you think she might rerchance
Have on u loosened g%aiter,
Your fingers itch to play the part
Ofhonest lady's waiter.
Though tantalized till he is crazed-
Stark mad with wild romancing,
That witchIng foot along his brain
A thousand waltzes dancing.
The while it merely lightly pats,
AS thoughtless she may move it
No modest man would dare to dream
There is a leg above it,
But when il trips across the street.
Through winds, and mud, and vapor,
By sheerest accident you see,
How beautifully they taperj
And as il steps upon the walk,
Amid the crowd to mingle,
The roguish eyes look up aud say,
SCI wonder it he's single !"
But I would have no lady think
1 fancy her a schemer,
And beg her to remember that
The poet is a dreamer.
He sees what othe RS do not see,
And seeks for hidden beauty
No pretty face can lure him from
The path of moral duty.

The Baltimore American Farmer,
n of the most reliable papers in the
country, says, We have given much
reflection to these subjects, and we have
come to the conclusion, that, under the
present aspect of European affairs, it is
to the interest of farmers, to have their
wheat and other grain threshed out
promptly, and that whilever the present
price of wheat shall continue, it would
be equally their duty and interest to
