LOVE IN A COTTAGE.


They may talk OF love in a cottage,
And bowers of trellised vine
or nature bewitchingly simple,
And milkmsids half divine;
They may talk of the pleasure Of sleeping
In the shade Of spreading tree,
Aud walk in the fields at morning.
By the side of footstep free!
But give me sly Irritation
By the light of a chandelier
With music to play in the pauses.
And nobody very near;
Or seat on silken sofa,
With glass of pure old wine,
And mamma to blind to discover
The small white hand in mine.
Your love in cottageis hungry,
Your vine is nest for flies
Your milkmaid shocks the Graces,
And simplicity talks of pies
You lie down to your shady slumber,
And wake with bug in your ear,
And your damsel that walks in the mornini
Is shod like q mountaineer.
True love is at home on carpet,
And nightly likes his easo--
And true love has an eye for dinner.
And starves beneath shady trees.
His wing is the fan of lady.
riis foot's an invisible thing,
And his arrow is tipp'd with jewel,
And shot from a silver string

ANGLING TO SOME PURPOSE.

The custom which our faShiona0ie
Englshmen have of flying to the coast of
France, when debts and the like mishaps
render their own country somewhat too
hot to hold them comfortably, caused
B,uogne and other towns forming the
chief places Of rendezvous on such oc-
casions, 10 present, for the most part,
strangely assorted society, and to witness,
at times. very curious scenes. We do
not precisely ask our readers to believe
the following romantic story in all its de.
tolls, though there is nothing very i'm
probable in any of Them.
Sir George Tindal was young baro-
net of good English family, who came TO
Boulogns under rather peculiar circnm>
stances, some years ago. He had been
left very young with command Of good
pa.rimonial estate, but had given way so
far TO the fashionable follies of the young
in high life, rs to allow nearly the whole
of i, 10 fly away on the turf as fast as
race horses could carry it. He had still
good expectations, however. A maternal
relative, a merchant, and one of the rich-
es, in the metropolis, was likely, in the
due course of things, to leave Sir George
his fortune, as his nearest heir. He was
fond of the young man, but had been
greatly and perilously alienated by the
conduct and reverses of the latter. 1t
was while medtating on this subject,
that an idea struck the nearly ruined bar.
onet. "How successful" thought he,
'.has my uncle been by his speculations
in the funds Might not have chance
that way also? Might l not cast in my
poor remnant Of means into that great
lottery, and pull out prize! may as
well try it, all that have now is scarcely
worth thinking twice about. l shalt try
at least"
Poor Sir George! He forgot that tho
some seas may be deep, there are others
that cannot be sounded at all and that
however deep one may be in the mire,
there is chance of going deeper. He
did venture his all in the funds. He was
successful once, and even twice. Getting
inspired by his good fortune, he thought
he had but to venture further and win
more. Alas he was a novice, merely,
in the hands of veteran gamblers. Some
Of the very worst embers of the body
who speculated in these matters, got him
into their hands, and knowing well what
his expectations were, and where they
lay, they led him on by nibble or two
until, by a series Of ruses, considered no
infamous only on such field of transac
tions, they at length got him placed un'
der load Of debt, which even all his un.
cle's means would with difficulty tighten
Holding him bound by signatures ane
bonds !; they then waited coolly Tor hi
accession to his prospective Inheritance
knowing well that the same prospec
would keep their victim also within reacl
at any time.
Sir George wandered about town 70
some months after these mishaps, like
man with rope around his neck. DurinI
that time he had many reasonings on al
importan. point. This point affected hi
whole prospective fortunes. The youni
baronet was naturally possessed Of goo'
sense he was we'll educated, and it mo-
be said that his intentions were good, an
