o Chemisette the fairest yet

Thou dtst not know what envious woe
F. Thy yelling snow hath given the writer !
So trinity frlIedAso plumply frilled!
And then the eyes that shine above it !
l burn--I long-nor is it wrong,
I lAt least in song,) dear girl. to love it.
Sweet Chemisette. the coral set
To chain thy folds in gentle duty,
Filings round glow upon the snow,
To heighten so thy bh.shing beauty;
And meier before, ON sea or Shore
Did coral feel softer bilIow-
Nor could the gold around it rolled,
Though ten times told, deserve the pillow
o Chemisette below thee met
A rosy ribbon binds her bodice;
And; III her miep is clearly seei
One half the queen, and one the goddess.
Her voice is low-how sweet its flow
! Her upper lip -disdains the under;
Her cutls are like dark waves that strike
A marble cliH-then rush asunder.
o ripening grace! o radiant face
When love is love, it knows no measure
Her hands are small, but yet can call
The power of music at their pleasure;
And as they peep from sleeves Of deep,
White Brussels lace, s.la mode Families, y
Her fingers seem, or else l dream, ''
Like stamens in the bells Of lilies.
As clouds OF spring on feathery wing,
Obscure the blushing heaven minute,
So Chemissttei thy silvery net e.
Now wells the heaven that giows within it!
Oh! bear me up IL faint droop-
My glowing pulsesthrob-an tingle =
Immortal bliss! but grant me this
In such heaven one hour to mingle!

A New fNTERPRETATIoN.-A clerical friend,
who IS settled away % Down East" tells us
that he is often amused by the shrewdness of a
certain parishfoner of his, who is fond of read
ing his Bible without note or comment, and
guessing out any obscurties which he may en-
counter He came to his pastor one day, and
asked him what, IN his opinion, was the reason
why the Jews who went out to meet Christ
when he was riding into Jerusalem, seated on
an ass's colt, took branches of palm trees in
their hands - : il; .i.rs
He was told they intended to honor the Saw
ior, etc. - a = i..',i + Il -.
g Honor him." said he, chats all humbug
] don't believe word of it. Wasn't they a
thirsting for his blood A plaguy sight of honor
they meant for him. No, no. I tell you them
pesky Jews was awful cunnin' critters, and they
wanted to break his neck and SO they took
them branches TO Steer the colt! '''''~
