On any consideration.

Now Jane Sweetbriar--with her mamma--
Was the very earliest conner,
For the rooms were engaged by her dear papa,
Throughout the entire summer!
But 'twas during the month of the sultry air,
When the fiery dog-star rages,
That occurred and trunsplred the little affair
Irelate in the following pages.
Miss Jane Sweetbrar was always told
By her mother and other relations
She was destined to make ON the world 80
cold
The greatest of oil sensations;
That pa was wealthy and she was fair,
And by nature designed to wed
A reigning prnce-or the son and heir
Who'd be prince when his father was dead
Now as this was instilled from her earliest
youth,
OF course she grew very inflated,
Believing it to be all gospel truth,
And her princely lover awaited;
And though gentlemen very well born and
bread,
Accomplished refined, and clever,
Were attentive, sho bridled her naughty
And distinctly said, "No, sir, never"
Then men began to keep very aIoof,
As the vulgar would say, "fght shy,'
For they never will WOO when there's pretty
good proof
1t isn't of use to try.
And heard full many person say,
Who of charity hadn't u particle,
That her market she'd certainly oyerstuy
And become u shopworn article.
But one August day, by the boat there came,
TO adorn the hotel society,
A short young man with very long name
Who was dressed with extreme propricty,
And Us he waltzed most exceedingly we'll,
And sang, said the ladies', dlynely,
In short, was very agreeable swell,
lie got on uncommonly finely.
And that he might be the better received
BY the girls, he to some confded
That he was duke, which they all believed,
But will be best if did,
And most audaciOusly dared surmise
That his Grace was an imposlton;
But angry glances from beautiful eyes
Frowned on the foul suspicion.
Now female artillery brough, to bear
Opened at once their fire,
And the Duke soon fell at the exquisite pair
OF feet of Miss Jane Sweetbriar;
And Jane was as pleasant as she could 90,
And put on her Mrs and graces,
And it was'nta difficult thing to SEQ
She was going through all her PAGES.
And if any one asked where she could be
found,
They'd soy, "thut foreigner has her,
Constantly walking her round and round
The ladies' upper piazza"
All, me! if every balcony rail
Had the means of communication,
How many feeling tender tale
Itcould tell of each sweet Irritation.
James delicate blood the Duke would stir
AS he'd tell, in his style romantic,
Of the "Chateau in Spain" that was ready for
her,
Just over the blue Atlantic.
And then he'd describe the magnificent spot
That was so like fairy scene,
Just as mendacous Claude Melnotte
Used 10 talk to the silly Pauline.
And now one evening after tea,
AS they sat in their room together,
Did Jane and her dear mother agree
That the duke had views, but whether
'Twere better cay yeas at once, OF defer
Was a matter for consultation,
And mamma told Jane it was left to her,
After serious conversation.
Then Jane said, 4" Mother, IN twenty-threc,
And no prince has come hiher to wed,
nd think, on the whole IT were better for
To put up with a duke instead"
And so twas decided. The following day
The rumor abroad was carried
That Jane Sweetbriar was {" fancee"
To the duke, and would soon be married
then how important the family grew
And evinced an increased gentlllty,
Which proved that they were possessing
true
Republican love for nobility;
nd even papa declared tha, he
