THE FIRST COUPLE.

When bright woman's glance and grace,
Fair Eve to Adams love was given,
He gazed upon her beauteous face,
And thought that earth, indeed, was heaven
Each day some new delight appear'd,
Each hour some attraction sprung,
And found each link Of life endear'd,
At last he found that she'd tongue
Close hid within those ruby gates,
With all those pearly guards to screen it,
He heard her tongue-tradition states
An hour or two before he'd seen it.
She teas'd as only woman can,
A power they've kept for ages long-*
Her plan still the better plan,
Her tongue by far the better tongue
Despite her charms, that swectly beam'd,
Poor Adam thought before week,
That though perfection else, it seem'd
4 great mistake to make her speak.
Yet was she precious to his heart;
And as for faults, why, she was young:
He would not with an atom part,
No, not jot, except her tongue.
*There exceptions to this, certain and sure

A MoDERN WILLIAM TELL,

We had the pleasure of witnessing portion of
the extraordinary performances describedin the fol-
lowing article (says the Richmond Examiner,)
and we can truly say that we had no conception of
such splendid shooting: -
GREAT SHooT1Na--Capt. Travis is, undoubt-
edly the best shot in America. Certain it is,
never heard of his superior. He made trial of
his skill yesterday, at his gallery, Corner of Main
and 14th Streets in the presence of number of
gentlemen, and the results were as follows, (dis-
tance of each shot about fourteen paees): With
deliberate aim at the figure, hit the bell eleven
times in twelve shots; with the pistol inherited hit
the bell eight times in ten shots; diseharging tho
pistol between his knees hit the hell four times in
five shots The eight figures marked on the board
were then struck successively, at the random call
Of one of the spectators. Capt Travis servant
then took his position near the figure, and held
percusson-cap box, of the diameter of half dol
lar, between his thumb and fore finger. The Cap
tain took deliberate aim at this object, and sent
bullet through it midway between the centre and
circumference He closed the exhibition Of his
extraordinary skill by firing at half dime placed
between his feet, with only the width of the coin
separating them. This shot was also successful,
the coin being struck without detriment to the
Captains boots or toes. .r. II.
