Too much morality you have,
Too much about religion;

of slip shod ghost with fins and scales,
And feathers like Q pigeon.

Composed of kings, and priests, and lords,
ofborder wars, and gothic hordes

TO craze the fair creation;
Glye US some recent 6reign news,
ot Russians, Turks, the Poles or Jews,
Or any other nation.
The man of dull scholastic lore
Would like to see little mere
Of first rate scraps OF latin;
The grocer fain would learn the price

The draper, silk and satin.
Another cries, want more fun,
A witty anecdote or pun, ...

Some wish for parliamentary news,
And some, perhaps, Of wiser views,
Would rather hear fiddle.
fhe critic, too, of classic skill,
Must dip in gall his gander quill
And scrawl against the paper;
of all the literary fools,
Bred in our colleges and schools,
He cut the greatest caper
And cries, want TO SEQ

To hear Of weddings plenty;
For in time of general rain
None suffer from drought, 'tis plain,
AT least, not one in twenty.

ofpeople totally undonc
By losses, fire or fever;
Another answers, full as wise,

But here we rest at perfect case,
For should they swear the moon was chees
We never should confutc them.

And let the grumblers grumble.

THE FATAL FLOWER.

Travellers who visit the falls of Nj
agra, are directed to the spot on the
margin of the precpice, over the boil
ing current below, where a gay young
lady, few years since, lost her life.
She was delighted with the wonders
of the unrivaled scene, and ambitious
to pluck a flower from cleft where
no human hand had before ventured,
as a memorial of the cataract and her
own daring, she leaned over the. verge
and caught glimpse Of the surgingI
waters far down the battlement Of
rocks, while fear for moment dark
ened her excited mind. But there
hung the lovely blossom upon which
her heart was fixed, and she leaned in
a delirium of intense desire and an
ticipation over the brink. Her arms
were outstretched to grasp the beau
tilul flower which charmed her fancy;
the turf yielded to tile pressure of her
light feet, and Win a. Shrek, she de-
scended like a falling starto the rocky
shore, and was borne away gasping
in death. How imprcssivcly does this
tragical event illustrate the way in
which majority Of eminent sinners
perish. forever! It is not u deliberate
purpose to neglect salvation, but in
the pursuit of imaginary good, tas-
cinatcd with pleasing objects just in
the future, they lightly, ambitiously,
and insanely venture too far. They
sometimes fear the result Of desired
wealth, or pleasure; they sometimes
hear the thunder of etcrnity's deep,
and recoil a moment from the allure
ments of sin, but the solemn pause is
brief, the onward step is taken. the
iancled treasure is in the grasp, when
a despairing cry comes from Jordan's
waves, and the soul sinks into the
arms Of the second death. Oh eve
ry hour life's sand is sliding rom in
cautious feet, and with sins fatal
flower in the unconscious hand. the
triller goes to his doom! The requiem
Of such q departure is an echo. Of the
Sayiour's question "What shall 4,
man give in exchange for hi, soul -
Am. Messenger. -.-. ''

FIGHT FOB A KISS.

One of our Maine young fellows
thus describes his battle, and final VIC
tory, in a fair fight for a kiss Of his
sweetheart: ...r-.. --.r,..r... p. ..,l
"Ah! now Sarah dear, give me a
kiss-just one land be done with it,
II won't; so, there now" r... nall
"Then I'll have to take it, whether
or nc" """. '.7 tror ...' ."a, j
Take it, if you dare" q.
$50 at it we went, rough and tum-
bic. An awful destruction of starch
now commenced. The bow of my
cravat was squat up in half of no time.
At the next bout, smash went shirt
collar, and at the same time some of
the head fastenings gave way, and
down came Sallie's hair, like a flood
in a mill-dam broke loose, carrying
away half a dozen combs. One plunge
of Sallie's elbow, and my blooming b6-
som-ruffles wiltedl to the consistency
and form of an after-dinner napkin
But she lbadin6 time to boast Soon
herneck-tackling besanto shiver, part
ed at the throat, and away went a
string of white beads, scampering and
running races every way you could
think Of about the floor. She fought
fair, however, must admit; and when
she could fight no longer for want of
breath, she yielded handsomely; her
arms fell down by her side-those long,
white, rosy arms-her hair hung back
over the chair, her eyes were halfshut
as if she were not able to hold them
open a minute longer. and theIe lay
little plump mouth all in the air! My
goodness! Did you ever see a hawk
bounce on robin, or bee on a clo-
yer top" .t
