Young Womanhocd.

Young omanhood--the.sweet moon on
the horizons verge-a thought matured,
but not lttered-a conception, warm and
glowing, not embodied-the rich ha 10 which
precedes the rising sun--the rosy dawn
which bespeaks- the ripenins peach-a
flower
flower which is rot quite flower.
Yet is no more bud.
-Ceilytsr's Hyperion.
Young womanhoed--molasses touched
with little birthstone, spread on bread,
buttered--a being all joints, and ankles not
filed cut--an Uniformed form. deformed by
stays--a pallid thing that loves the ripen-
ing peach-a young wonan--
woman which is not quite a woman,
Yet something more than gal.
Brooklyn Nssrs.
Young womanhood-a dali moon notyet
riz-cake baked, but not turned-hot corn
all hot and smoking, net yet sold--s rich
curdle which precedes the coming butter
the thickening down upon a eosling's
back, that bespeaks the future goOse--a
butterfly 49,
butterfly which is not butterfly,
Yet ANITA caterpillar 10 how you can fix it.
Shelby Ntlcs.
Now comes our turn. Young woman
hoOd--a giggle something short of broad
horse laugh--small potatoes half grown
body and limbs developed with padding
the exhibition of bone and muscle enough
for coming matrimonial squabble--sub-
stantia fnger-nails that bespeak hrst-rate
scratching-a gander-
A gander which is not quite a gander
Yet is mott goose.
". o. Picayune.
While it is on the wav, we might as
well give shove, 80 here goes. Young
womanhood-a red blackberry, Just green
enough to be sour as vinegar--a persmmoa
not yet frosted--yet ready to quicker
anybody's mouth who touches her--a some-
thing which is neither fish, flesh, nor good
red herring--a "betweeni:y" too abstract
for even politiciau--a'cat-
A cat which is not quite cat,
Yet which IS not : kitten.
-BaHir,ors Sun.
Now comes US. Young womanhood-a
chicken IN a shell-a ''small potatoe," that
isn't fit for family use--a piece of green
"live TIMBER" herring, half scorched
over the fire--a moving sack of nothing,
tied round the midd ca young idea about
taking the sBcor-a lucifer match, not
yet ignited-a ssucy, cackling hen
A hen which is not quite hen.
Nor an old rooster Huthe-.
l-Ccfeevlle IntsAtgencer.
Good lick! II its "free fout," gentle
men. consider us in; we take one chance
tainty, whether @e win or lose by the ope-
ration. Here goes.
Young womanhood-werry small tornips,
few in the hill and hard to dig, and when
dug not worth shacks-a 5uckwheat cake
badly done on one side, and nary drep Of
molasses in the house--undeyel eloped crino-
line piano torturer-general teaser-in-
chief TO the whole famiiy-embryo ball
room ornament--oyster shells, with the
oysters Just swallow ed--1n undeyeloped rat
Tin point of fact" as Micawber would
say
cunning sharp-eyed little mice,
That would be dear any price.
- Watches Courier.
Young womanhood-a moving mass OF
undeveloped beauty, we'll supplied with
tongue; thing composed of powder, hoopsi
flowers and aounces; a substance. TO be by
turns pitied, loved and fattered; puff of
vanity, void of solid substance, we'll calcu-
lated TO deceive-a pigeon
pigeon which is not quite q pigeon,
And yet s will not do TO call squab.
-'rckson Flag
Since this theme is about exhausted, we
viii. commence another. Young manhood
lots of starched linen, but no "tin;"
thinks more OF "cocktails'' than Of his
mamma; knows more of things in general
than his daddy; iewd, saucy coxcomb; at
tends all the nurse races and is posted in
turf terms generaly--a "dem foine" spec
Imen-a young man
Ayorng man, a Ieetis too fast for a boy,
Vet only q boy after ell.
