Es- In one of the private palaces on a
principal street, of our city, dwells fair
creature, just blown into womanho0d, as
lovely the picture of a painters dream.
Surrounded by all the comforts and luXures
which wealth affords, with warm and loving
friends, and everything which can render life
happy. Of beautiful features and attractive
form, merry-heartcd and Joyous, she has the
appearance of one who never knew care, or
felt pang of sorrow or disappointment 1t
may be that she has numerous devuut wor
shippers amongst her friends of the opposite
Sex; it would be passing strange" were such
not the case; but yet the coils of the ten
der passion have not. apparently, been wound
about her heart. In maiden meditation,
fancy free" and heart free, she spends her
days; but, ii is the mission Of woman to love
aud be- loved, and her time is bound to come.
If she has not numerous worshippers already,
we have heard it whispered that she has one
at least, of whom she little r,cks. She may
never have seen him; certainly she has never
spoken to him; and yet, we are told, never
did mortal man worship fair woman with
more idOlatrous trrvOr. II he has never had
the pleasure of speaking to her, he has seen
and felt the influence OF her charms. If he
has never been under the same roof with her,
he has looked with unconscious ardUr upon
the home of which she is the light and glory
upon the shell in which the precious pearl
is enclosed; and daily has he been seen to
promenade the street for hours at time near
her residence, hoping to catch a ray of sun
shine TO illumne the chambers of his soul.
SO intense, at such times, is his desire to see
the object of his alterations, he becomes ut
terly Oblivi0us to all things else. He may
render himself ridiculous, in the opinion Of
the unelectrifind, but what of that? He is
unaware Of it; aud If il were otherwise what |
then, Who yet has been so sclfpossessed |
that when wounded by an arrow OF the archer |
boy Cupid, he did not make a fool of himself |
III the estimation of others who have either |
not been initiated, or gone degree further
into loves experiences? We wonder what is
to be the rcsu!t Of our heros love. Is it for
ever TO be distant worship? Does he never
contemplate IA nearer view of his idol? Will
he never muster enough courage to put toy
tune to the test, and l,arn his fate? We trust
those good friends who have been with s>ing
this little drama, will keep It's advised, aud let
US witaess the deRoSDaRi.

For khe PHsriof

To modest worth fam would tribute pay,
And talent, too, while struggling day by day
To carve a name upon the sleeps of came; ~
Herculean task, and laudable tho aim
Here in our midst aspiring genins strives
To battle fate, determined yet TO rise
And, meteOr-like, outshine HE brightest gem
That decks the nights celestial diadem;
And show the world, though not with much "drt''
blest,
That noble aims glow in poor mans breast
That legislative acts o'erpress the masses;
These arc the SolOInons, they are the asses
o, great rcformer following up the plan
That first gave Game unto the s'TrFbune'' man,
Aud, not unlike that man, eccentric too,
Downing Of old clothes rather than the new;
And Faust's disciple, too the art that rules
The world, with all its wise men and its fools
But genius cramped within so small sphere
As Nashville, droops and withers in a year.
But well it's for talent when it finds
No sympathising aid from kindred minds,
To know there is one loved, one cherished place
Where smiles and welcome light up every face
Aud point, with triumph, TO the ''Prnter's Case.
