ISung by the Brothers Hutchinson; II shoult

casionally.3
The daughter sits in The parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair,
She's clad in her silks and salins,
Aud jewels are in her hair;
Shs winks aud giggles and simpers,
And simpers aud giggles and winks,
And though she talks but little,
'Tis vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in his russell,
And ragged and seedy at that;
His coats are all out al the elbow
He wears most shocking bad hat,
He's boarding and saving his shillings,
So carefully day by day,
While she, on the beaux and poodles
Is throwing ii all away.
She lies a-bed in the morning
Till nearly the hour OF noon;
Then comes down swapping ard snarling,
Because she was called so soon.
Her hair is slill liz the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbed with paint
Remains of her last nights bushes,
Before she intended 10 faint
She doats upon men unshaven,
And men with the "hoWine hair"
She's eloquent over mouslaches,
They give such foreign air.
She talks Of Indian music,
And falls in love with the moon,
And though mouse should meet her,
She sinks away in swoon.
Her feet are so very small,
Her hands go very white,
Her Jewels so very heavy,
Her head so very light,
Her color is made ot cosmetics,
Though this she will never own;
Her body made mostly Of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly Of stone.
She falls in love with a fellow,
Who struts with foreign air;
He marries her for her money
She marries him for his hair;
One of the very best matches
Both are well mated in life!
She's got fool for husband,
And he's got a fool for wife

REV. C. H. STURGEON.

[The Boston Trareller in noticing the SER
mons of this distinguished English Divine, has
the following j
We arc glad 10 see that the second series Of
this reprint of Mr. Surgeons Sermons S is pub
lshed without the Introductory letter which
disfgured the first. The present volume has a
preface by MIR Spurgeon himsef--characler
tic of the man-of whom, by the way. brief
biography may not be uninteresting. He was
horn at Kevedon, in Essex, in 1884, and has
therefore only reached the age when most per-
sons begin 10 study theology, rather than preach.
His father, Mr. John Sporgeon, is pastor of a
small church in Essex, and is engaged in busi
ness at Colchester. His grandfather is also an
Independent minister. A younger brother dis
plays, we understand, similar talents and has
been sent 10 cultivate them at an English Uni
versty. Nh c. II. Spurseon did not receive
collegiate education; but it does not follow,
as has been remarked, that he is an uneducaied
