To A LADY

Too late I stayed, forgive the crime:
Unhecded flew the hours;
How noisless falls the foot OF time,
That only treads flowers.
What eye with clear account remarks
The ebbing of the glass,
When all the sands are diamond sparks.
That dazzle as they pass.
All. who to sober measurement
Times happy swiftness brings,
When birds OF Paradise have lent
Their pluniage TO his wings. Sheridan

they are the property of the public, and may be re-
published by the journals Of neighboring cities and
transmitted over the land by the telegnphic reporter

AFRICAN AFFAIRs.-Like unto fruitful vine
is the wife Of 'Al.' Of Missouri, whose domicil
has been made intensely dark and happy by the
sudden appearance of two fifteen pound freedom
shriekers, black as stack of black cats. So
great was 'Al.'s' 'jubilarity' that he applied to
the village poet lariat to have a quantity of po-
etry Immediately constructed, commemorative of
the event. AP heard the stanzas recited, and
pronounced them fust rate, and was electrified
with joy to hear that they were to be put in the
papers, Accordingly they-the stanzas, not the
niggers-were submitted for our inspection. We
agree with AL that the versfcaton is fust
rate' but the thread of the narrative is too much
in detail-in fact is slightly damnable in numer-
GUS places The poet, we fear, has pulled wool
