BY AN ENTHUSIASTIC Young GENTLEMAN. -,
I've banqueted on Injuries, -
Produced in every cline,
I've feasted on rich turtle soup, sl1i =
And Supped on oysters prime; 60
But nothing so delicious is .9sas III
Within world like this, &C. $40
AS soft carcsses seasoned by
lovely woman's kiss
n I've gloated DER the festive board,

I've listened at the or'er,
To melody divine; et
But oh, never, never met, So
Such sweet excess Of bliss, a. e4..
- As thrills tie soul when lips raceiYe
A lovely woman's kiss. -.

I've passed the midnight hours
q In gardens beautiful and fair ss-
I've wandered mid the flowers;
But there's dearer JOY than these
joy would not miss
A heavenly rapture which is found
In lovely womans kiss
In my last hour when death draws nca
In darkness and in bloom,
May womans smile my pathway cheer
And light me to the tomb
a. And when my soul shall take its flight
To other worlds than this,
May it be waited to the skies
BY lovely woman's kiss!

The Mechanic,s Fair.

81 We only had time to sdrop in" tor lew
minutes last night at the opening of the Me-
chanics' Fair at Odd Fellows Hall. There was
a large crowd Of ladies and gentlemen in atten-
dance, and the unanimous expression wasthat
this exhibition of the ingenuity and skill of the
artists and mechanics of Tennessee, and of the
ibandiwork of our fair country-women, was the
most magnificent affair that has ever been wit
messed in Nashville. s
In variety and superior merit, the exhibition
will compare favorably with similar exhibi-
tons anywhere. If the reader wishes to see
specimens of the highest skill in the arts and
in mechanics, he will find them on exhibition
at Odd Fellows Hall. To this exhibition we
proudly point as an evidence of what our ar
lists and mechanics can do. Proud are we that
Tennessee numbers among her citizens men
and women of genius SO noble, so original, as
to conceive and execute in the highest style,
the specimens which are on exhibition at Odd
Fellows Hall. 80
q Want of time and space prevent us from re-
ferring to the various articles on exhibition in
detail This we shall endeaver to do in fu-
ture article. In the mean time, we would adj
wise every one who takes aHinterest in the arts
aud mechanics, to attend the exhibition at the
Hall, during the week, which will be open du-
ring the day as well as the night hereafter.

the Managers may well be proud. As the FIRST
experiment of the kind in this city, its success
is beyond our most sanguine expectations. We
have never seen more delighted audience Of
ladies and gentlemen, comprising the elite of

evening.
Too much credit cannot be awarded to the
Board of Directors for the indefatigable and
disinterested labor, under the most -discoura

active cooperation. This Fair is bnt the be-
ginning point of prouder and more gratifying
