Lines inscribed to Carrie"


No fattcry, if you please, Mr.. B."-Carre.
It's in most
Natural TO exercise the modest
Art--to be liked and loved, caressed and
Adortd TO them is sweet indeed-not more
Sweet aud na9 ural though, than to say It's
Flattcry all, and vain!
But man, the while,
With heart and soul to love- and TO fattery
All unhdden. can forgive in woman fair,
What she in him might fegn to deem most
Cruel and unkind. Let woman say,
''Sir. YOU most beautiful, most worthy,
Aud do adore vou!" and at once We

The joke offence; but 10. when man
In admiration most heavenly and sincere,
And heart o'erfowing with human gladness,
Meets one fair and lovely, and shouts aloud !"

And to adore. as friends do love and adore,
One so fair and beautiful thou is
Innocence to manhood, aud natural
And as harmless the dropping of still
Waters,-then, with retort feminine the fair

And praise earths fair daug hers who were made fr
Love and praise, is sin and fatery then
Sinful and most lmpudent are We all!

Should dry, and the rivulet cease to murmur.

The roses tender tint is less carnine- like
Aud modest, than is the lively, natural
Glow upon thy fair and virgin cheeks; and
The sweetest flowers of the valley, with
Pink aud lily intertwined, NAV close their
Peas all, and flush, when thy matchless Inns
De move with breathing life, and smiles more clad
And welcome han the song Of merry birds,
Or music Of the sphere>i ,-.-s.-
