A Short Polittickls ssrmint.

The Tag. Of the Boston Post Is responsible
Tor the folloWln9 The hints are decidedly
good, and viii cause laugh even from those
against whom they are aimed:
Ny Breethering will take for my text
the same which was preached unto By my
brother, at Brandon, Mississippi, Of which YOU
all have doubtless heerd: "And he played
on Q harp of tAousSsI strings-sperits Of
just men made perfc" .. ..-
Ny brethren, there is as many strings to
politix as there Is to q lyre-and good many
liars to eeny most every string; then there
amt but one Of them all that rings out the
music Of the Union to which every true patriot
man ought 70 keep step-fur he played on q
harp Of thousand strings-sperits Of just
men made per6c"
Fust, there's the Know Nothin! His nsme
expresses the amount Of his information, but
it don't convey tie idea Of his resources. He's
the most extraordinary animal In the show
he is fur and against a variety Of topics-he
is temperance and be drinks-he is fur the
Maine Law SO provided he can violate it-he's
fur and against fusion-hes here and he's
thar-and he will be 10 WHARF in November
fur che played on g harp Of a thOxsand

Then thsr's the politticle eobbler, goin' round
q roaring like a green bay jsckass seekin'
where he may humbug somebody. He's all
the colors Of the rain bowl, and more change
aDle tnan the CameIla Japopnlky. lie Is q
Whig and anti-Whig, and Know Nothin' and
anti-Know Nothing-fur furriners and agin
furriners-fur everybody, but principally a
long needed, woolly- needed, rantin', ravin'
niggerist- and abolitienist-for " he played on
a harp Of q thousand strings-sperits of just
of just made perfc."
Then there's the straight out Whig-s re-
spectacle sort of character in contrast with the
preceding, who represents the Fusionists. He
don't want TO see tho Union destroyed, but
he knows he can't help it if he runds on his
own hook and that he'd better run wid der
masheen that's bound to be ahead and wash
! other tubs. He played on a harp ef a single
| string, but his execution was imperfee.
. Then there's the liberal and genuine old
| fashioned Democrat He don't 20 whirling
| round in Notwithstanding amt Altered

Union. They 60 for personal freedom-fol

stument is tuned with poplar feelin' and
they play on a harp of thousand strings and

BOY LOVE.

One of the queerest, and funniest things 70
think of in after life, is, "Boy love" No
sooner does boy acquire a telerable statue,
than he begins to imagine himself man and
to ape manish ways. He casts sideliDg CLAN
ces at tall girls he may meet, becomes a
regular attendant at church, or meeting
sports a cane, carrie. his head erect and struts
a little in his walk Presently, and how very
soon, he falls in love; yes falls in the proper
word; because it best indicates his happy,
delirious, self abasement. He lives now in a
fairy region, somewhere collateral 70 the
world, and yet, somehow, blended inextricably
with it. He perfumes his hair with fragrant
oils, scatters essences over hi. handkerchief,
and desperately shsves, and anoints for
beard. He quotes poetry, in which ''l0ve,
and "dove," and "hesrt and dart" pecu-
larly predominate; and as he plunges deeper
| into the delicious labyrinth, fancies himself
| filled with the divine afaatus, and suddenly
| breaks into a scarlet rash h-of rhyme. De
| feeds upon the looks Of his beloved; is raised
| to the seventh heaven if she speaks pleasant
word is betrayed into the most astonishing
| ecstaeies by a smile; and is plunged in the
gloomiest regions Of misanthrophy by frown.
lie believes himself to be the most devoted
| lover in the world. There never was such
| another. There never will be. He is the
| great idolater! He is the great fayOrite F! he
is the very type Of magnsnimity, and self
abnegation. Wealth! he despises the grove
ling thought. Poverty, with the lorable be-
loved, he rapturously apostrophises as the first
| Of all earthly blessings; and Glove in q
Cottage with water and q crust, is the beau
| ideal paradise Of dainty delights.
He declares 20 himself, with the most solemn
emphasis, that be would go through fire and
water, undertake o pilgrimage to China or
Kamscatks; swim the storm-tossed ocean
| scale impossible mountains and face legions Of
bayonets; but for one sweet smile from her deaI
lips. He dOats upon q flower abe has cast
away. He cherishes her glove-a little worm
in the fngers-ne1t his heart He sighs like
locomotive letting Of steam. He scrawls hel
dear name over fOolsesp-htting medium fol
his insanity. He scdtnfully depreciates the
attention of other boys Of his age; cuts Petel
) Tibbets dead, because he said the adorable
Angelina had carotty hair; and passes Harry
Bell contemptuously, for dsring to compar'
that gawky Mary Jane, with his inconparsbl
| Angelina.
Happy! happy! foolish Boy-love; with il
hopes and its fears; its joys and its sorrows, it
jealousies, its delights static fervors, and il
terrible heart burning; IT'S solemn ludicrous
ness, and its intensely prosaic termination.
