in the least. She disports herself merrily. She
assumes gracefully-worn sombIance of playful
affection. She pats it lovingly. She losses il
gently hither and thither. She makes feint Of

straightway down her throat goes the reluctant
mouse-and no less surely, for all her soft dis.
guises.

AUTHOR, who has fallen under his sovereign dis

and lop off the offending hand, or pluck out the

sibility with a velvet hand, tcllcs his nostril'
with sweet-smelling SAVIOR, lulls his scflove
with well.cLoseu words of praise; but when the

met the ardor of her own with an answering

perfectly. She grew up into his thoughts as
she grew into his affections. She learned more

MEETING OF THE CARMEN.

Some twenty thirty individuals, who somewhat after
the fashion Of the three taors Of Tooey street, styled
themselves the carmen Of the city Of New York, held
meeting yesterday about noon at Hanover square, TO for
ward the election Of VIM. F. Havemeyer for Mayor.
There were nearly dozen horse and two horse
stationed the ground, with two or three carmen to
each and the platform for the speakers improvsed
large four wheeled wagon on which was strapped
rough looking pine table and two chairs for the
mediation Of the officers and members of the press. The
affair was a complete fzzc in every respect There
no speakers, enthusiasm and no audience the
twenty carmen, their horses, and few rnischievous
young urchns and idle spectators, who looked with
great gee at the meeting, which they evidently regarded
Us capital joke.
Mr. WILLIAM c. BoGERr called the meeting to order and
nominated Mr. VIM. H. Kirby for chairman. This
declared carried, though II was difficult TO see on what
grounds, nasmuch as nobody answered "aye," while
several Of the wicked lads cried "no'' in decidedly
favorable manner. Mr.. Kirby, however, assumed the
benor Of the high position which he was declared entitled
to- and after returning his sincere thanks Of the
sovereign carmen stepped forward and read series Of
resolutions endorsing the nomination Of VIM. f. Have
