POETRY.
THE CANE-BoTToMED CHAIR.

by WIN. M. THACKERAY.
In tattared old slippers that toast at the bars,
And a ragged old jacket perfumed with cigars,
Away from the world and its tolls and its cares,
I've snug little kingdom up four pairs of stairs
70 mount to this realm is a toll, to be sure,
But the fire there is bright and the air rather pure
And the view behold on a sunshiny day
Is grand through the chimney pots over the way.
This snug little chamber is crammed in all hooks
With worthless old knick nacks and silly old books
And foolish old odds and foolish old ends,
Cracked bargains from brokers, cheap keepsake
from friends.
Old armor prints, pictures, pipes, china Gall crack
edo
Old rckety tables, and chairs broken backed;
A two-penny treasury, wondrous to sec
What matter It's pleasant to you, friend, and me
No better divan need the Sultan require.
Than the creaking old sofa that basks by the fire
And its wonderful, surely, what music you get
From the rickety, ramshackle, wheezy spinet.
That praying rug came from Turcoman's camp /;
BY Tiber once twinkled that brazen old lamp
AIMameluke fierce yonder dagger has drawn;
IT'S murderous knife to toast mullins upon.
Long, long through the hours, and the night ant
the chimes,
Here we talk Of old books and old friends, and ole
times,
As we sit in fog made of rich Lattakie.
This chamber is pleasant to you, friend, and me.
But of all the cheap treasures that garnish my nest
There's one that love and cherish the best
For the finest of couches that's padded with hair
never would change thee, my cane-bottomed chair
IT'S bandy-leggcd, high-shouldered, worm-eatel
seat,
With a creaking old back, and twisted old fect
But since the fair morning when Fanny sat there,
bless thee and love thee, old bottomed chair
If chairs have but feeling, in holding such charms
A thrill must have passed through your witheret
old arms;
| looked, and longed, and wished in despair
wished myself turned to 3 cane-bottomed chair.
1t was but moment she sat in this place;
She'd scarf on her neck, and smile on her face
A smile on her face, and rose in her hair,
And she sat there, and bloomed in my bottom
ed chair.
And so have valued my chair ever since,
Like the shrine of saint, the throne of prince
Saint Fanny, my patrOness sweet declare,
The queen of my heart and my cane-bottomed chair
When the candles burn low, and the company gone
In the silence of night as sit here alone
/ sit here alone, but we yet are pair
My Fanny see In my cane-Dottomeo chair.
She comes from the past and revisits my room;
She looks as she then did, all beauty and bloom
So smiling and tender, so fresh and so fair
And yonder she sits in my canc-bottomed chair.
