TITS FLIRTATION-


TITS RITA TON
lis true last night l adortd thee,
But twas moonlight, the song and the wine;
The cool morning air has restored me.
And l DO longer deem thee divine;
1 confess thou art pretty and tender,
And when thou canst catch me again,
As last night on a desperate bender.
Once more I'll submit to thy chain.
The fact is, dear Fanny, I'm human;
Very weak, | may say, on spree;
And no matter of what sort the woman,
Pm her slave if she cottons to me.
But this curs'd sobriety, ever,
Undoes every chain Of delight,
Aud my memory by daylight has never
Any sense OF what takes place by night.
Pm man of most regular habit
! When daylight comes round, on my word
And though loving, by night, as rabbit.
With the sunrise, Pm cool as a curd;
I'm quite willing in moonlight for capture,
But she's bright woman whose skill
Having spell'd the short hours with rapture
! With the daylight can Ietter me still.

zS- The editor OF the Louisville Journal
speaks very prettly of the very pretty book
of poems by T. Il. ALpRIcH, which has just
been published. He says that Mr.. ALDRIcH
has been known for three or four years, las
the writer Of delicate little poems ia which
the soul of an idea has a body that bushes
through and through with beauty poems
which have breathed their unfOrgotten fra
GRANGE from corners Of newspapers every
where, and doubtless have been laid away in
the scrap-books OF many memories" The
editor also says:
Pretty fancies. expressions that melt on
ones palate deliciously, like Keats's "luccnt
syrup tinct with cinnamon"-pocms that
seem to have started mp like roses with dew
on their sunny faces make up this volume;
there is rainbow tissue of painted words
and ftLcirs. Mr.. Ald~ich does not possess
very remarkable or powerful thoughts His
thoughts are like the souls OF flowers. The
scent of II flower may conquer strong man
and the note of a bird may melt through
"A hardened life when cannon would not.
Such is the power of little poems.
