SPARKLING SUNDAY NIGHT

Sitting in the corner
On a sunday eve,
With taper finger
Resting on your sleeve;
Starting eyes are casting
On your face their light
Bless me this is pleasant
Sparkling Sunday Night?
How your heart is humping
'Gainst your Sunday vest
How wickedly It's working
On this day of rest.
Hours seem but minutes
As they take their fight;
Bless me! Amt it pleasant
Sparkling Sunday Night!
Dad and Nam are sleeping
On their peaceful bed,
Dreaming of the things
The folks in Meeting said
"Love ye one another"
Ministers recte;
Bless me! DON'T we do it
Sparkling Sunday Night
One arm with gentle pressure
Lingers round her waist,
You squeeze her dimpled hand,
Her pouting lip you taste;
She freely slaps your face,
But more in love than spite
Oh thunder amt it pleasant
Sparkling Sunday Night?
But hark the clock is striking
Its two o'clock, snum,
As sure as I'm a sinner
The time to 90 has come
You ask with spiteful accents,
ii " that old clock is right"
And wonder if it ever
Spanked ON Sunday Night ?
One, two, three, sweet kisses,
-Four, FIVE, six, you hook
But thinking that you rob her,
Give back those yOu took;
Then as forth you hurry
From the fair ones sight,
Don't you wish each day was
Only sunday Night?

ConRressiOnaI Morality

The editor OF the Louisville Journal tells the
following good one," which occurred at Wash
ton, while he was there. We have no doubt he
could tell many more if he would:
We were infinitely amused, three or four
weeks ago. by practical joke in Washington
City, upon number of the nice men in Con-
gress 1t was too good to be left unpublished
A couple of merry fellows, one of them a
distinguished member of Congress from South.
ern State. and the other distinguished ex-edi-
tor from Kentucky, concocted letter purporting
to be addressed by young lady to "a very fine
looking gentleman. 1t was got up in first rate
style.
The pretended young lady set forth therein
that she had several times seen the gentleman
she was addressing, that she was captvated by
his tine face and manly form, that her heart was
deeply touched by all she and heard of him.
that she must make his acquaintance before his
departure from the city, that she hoped and
prayed he would forgive her seeming boldness
as It was the first imprudent act of her life that
she had always moved and was still moving in
the highest circles of the Capital that she would
be upon certain square of certain street, at
precisely twelve o'clock of the following day in
dress which she described with great paricu-
larity, and that she hoped and trusted he would
meet her, and thus afford her an opportunity of
brlet personal intercourse with the idol OF her
heart. The two wags had between thirty and
forty copies OF this letter written by female
friend OF theirs, and they sent these copies to
between thirty and forty members of Congress-
selecting those, of course who were known to
entertain very exalted opinion of their own
personal destinations.
Everything being thus arranged, the two
jokers called upon and another young gentle
man, explained what they had done and invited
US to get in their carriage ride with them to the
point OF asslgnation, and see the sights. We
unhesitatngly consented, and we saw sights sure
enough Riding upon the designated square, we
beheld the whole OF the thirty or forty members,

and gazing earnestly in every direction. and at
every female figure to discover the object of
