STUDYING LATIN.-The New Era
relates a story of an old farmer whose
son had for long time been ostensi-
bly, studying language in popular
academy. s..
The farmer not being satisfied with
the course and conduct Of the young
hopeful, recalled him from school,
and placing him by the side o&d Aart
one day, thus addressed him $arnA
"Now, Joseph, here is q fork, ,Nand
there is a heap Of manure and cart
what do you call them in latin ?"
"Forkibus, cartibus ct manuribus,
said Joseph. 'Jf
well, now, said the old man, If
you don't take that forkibus pretty
quickibus, and pitch that manuribus
into the cartibus, i'll break your lazy
backibus.' t.i ,...,s, ,V

"I must say Of him, as Q6inn did

Courting.

We do not see why people cannot
do their counting by daylight, thereby
saving an extra supply of fuel, lights
and forenoon naps.-Erchamge

I'M oothless as new born babe, and still

'Stu'row tired of watching, and the
sSgposters begin to crow

tow positive denial to the contrary not

the liable charm in being the sole oc-

pfa drawn up before the shining CRATE,
epand the lamp regulated to steady
9 blaze that will not eclipse the bright
ness of eyes, or make particularly
prominent, unclassical, irregular iea-
lures. There's something particular
ypleasihg in hearing the last pair of
HOUSEHOLD feet take bee-line depart
ure for the upper chambers, and feel
ing that the ever swinging parlor
door will remain closed until one Of
the party concerned chooses to open
it.
Talk about courting by daylight !
Think of laming ones arm by quick,
hasty Withdrawals from around a
certain waist, at the inceSsant ringing
of the door-bell, or seeing the puff
combs and curls fly in every direc-
ton, by sound Of coming footsteps
Imagine proud lover at the feet of
fair lady, pouring fourth an eloquent,
long avowal, with extraordinary ex-
pressions fitting over his face; and,
at the same moment, see puzzled
little countenance peering through
the half-open door, wondering what
makes Mr.. NJ. "pray with eyes wide
open" Or, more disagreeable still,
have "mamma" open the door with
out the prelude Of rap, of course,
lust at the moment when you have
ventured to taste the nectar OF her fair
daughters rosy lips.
And then what time in tho day
should one take =? Not in the fore
noon, certainly, when music-teachers
and fashionable visitors are in vogue !;
not in the afternoon, when ones
senses are stupefed by the eating Of a
hearty dinner; not on Sundays, when
every body is expected to so to church;
not in church, with pantomimic ges-
lures that set the occupants Of neigh.
boring pews a staring in horror and
surprise.
mol there is but one time, and
that the veritable season set in old
primative days--a time and season
for couIting. An hour when you can
pinch Nelly's fingers to make her tell
who she loves best look in Nclly's
hand to see if her fortune runs with
yours, and see what letters of the al
phabet are formed by the lines there
In; kiss her when you please, hug
her when you please and all this
while tho old folks are asleep, and
nothing is heard in the house or in the
street, and no one on earth is so near
Nelly as yourself.

for their steady patronage Of their own book
since its first publication in July, 1880, by
the same publisher, period of over twenty
seven years, circumstance unparalelledin
the Magazine Literature of the country. He,
would be wanting in Commsn gratitude to
that great Republic of ladies', for whom it
is his pride TO say, that he was the first to
commence Magazine suited to their wants
and for whom he hascatered longer and,bet-
ter than any other man in the Union, if he,
did not use all the means that a long expert,
once and the command Of money gives nim,
TO make the best and most suitable work
for those who have so literally and SO long
patronized him and he feels assured that
so long as he may deserve it, by publishing
the best Lady's Book in the country, SO long
will that encouragement be continued. II
will be impossible for him to enumerate all
thai he intends to do this year, but he will
again promise that the Book for 1857, shall
surpass that of 1856. Let the result show.

THE YOUNG WIDOW.

She is modest, but not bashful,
Free and easy, but not bold;
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too young, and not too old;
Half inviting. half repulsive,
Now advancing, and now sly
There is mischief in her dimple,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She is schooled in all her arts;
She has taken her diploma,
As the mistress Of all hearts;
She can tell the very moment,
When to sigh, and when to smile;
Oh, maid is sometimes charming,
But a widow all the while.
Are you sad how very serious
Will her handsome face become;
Are you angry she is wretched,
Lonely, friendlcss, fearful, dumb!
Are you mirthtul' how her laughter
Silver sounding, will ring out!
She can lure, and catch, and play you,
As the angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so bald and wise,
Younv Americans Of twenty,
With the lovelocks in your eyes,
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fail,
But know n little widow
Who could win and fool you all.
