CATECHISM FOR THE ENGAGEI
Before trust my fate to thee,
Or place my hand in thine,
Before let thy future give,
Color and form 10 mine
Before peril all for thee,
Question thy soul TO night for me.
break all slighter bonds, nor feel
One shadow of regret;
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet!
Or is thy faith as lair and free
As that which can pledge TO thee?
Look deeper still. Ifthou canst feel
Within thy inmost soul,
That thou hast kept portion back,
While | have asked the whole,
Let no false pity spare the blow
But in true pity tell me so.
Is there within thy heart need
That miRe cannot fulfill?
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or stilla
Speak now, lest al some future day,
My whole LIE wither and decay.

,JERROLD'S WIT.

Douglas Jerrold's W.T." just published
in neat volume by Ticknor & Fields, i'm
proves upon every fresh reading, though there
is considerable in it which is not wiser nor
witter than other people have written
Some of his illustrations are excellent. Take
this, for instance, and we need not 60 TO a cab
met minister to fod specimens Of the bear:
ut occasionally happens that the bear
ahoat on an iceberg drifts into warmer lat
titude than the latitude of eternal frost, and
as the iceberg melts under the increasing heat
the bear shifts and shifts, finding his footing
passing from beneath him, and at length
howis piseously, to know the dissolution OF
the iceberg must 10 time occur. We would
not compare minister Of State to polar
bear; nevertheless, even q chancellor of the
excbequer, as be finds Parliament melting
and a dissolution inevitable, will sometimes
change his music"
Here is a story which is exceedingly funny;
too humorous some think to be Jerrold's own
invention:
1--WE have heard OF a man, reasonable in
all other matters, who declared that be had
been ruined, all his vast property swallowed,
by an earthquake. But when asked by
strangers, What earthquske-and whers''
the ruined man, with deeper look Of injury
upon him. wonld reply confdentisly. That's
it, that's Just it. That earthquake, Sir, was
most shamefully hushed up."
This is good, about the Jscobite and the
wbig who quarreled, and when one Of them
cried out, II spit upon your king William"
and other, 81 spit upon your king James the
the Second" Jerrold rang the bell and shout
ed, waiter! spittoons for two" So is his
reason for the "fall." "Eve," Jerrold said,
"ate the apple that she might Dress" What
is better than thisg
