A Lover up a Tree.

Lover up IEet'
Well here's situation,
For yoang man up tree,
With bull dog standing under,
Looking lovingly at me
freed by all the darts of Cupid!
Like 'possum or coon
What an aspect for a lover,
By the dim light of the moon
Come to serenade my Julia
Lightly climbed the garden wal
Tuned my guitar meath her wNdow,
Yonder where the shadows fail
Got as far as "Sleep my darllng,

And swapping close behind me

So beat a quick retreat from there,
And found lodgment here
As climbed this smooth AIianlhus,

Plague take the canine creature,
II agging his stiff bob-taI
As though he thought his narrative
Would finally prevail,
But such dOgmatic arguments

With my3temper dOnt agree.
Yonder where the snowy curtain
In the mellow moonlight shines,
Unconscious Of my lad mlshaP,

That she should see me here,
Dangling on this old Alianthus,
With a white flag in my rear.
Oh for bit Of strychnine,
Or some poison Of some sort.
ID stop The wagging of that tail,
And all this canine spot!
'Tis midnight, and hope if now
A ghost is on the jog.
He'll come this way and trighien off
This most pugnacious dog.
If fairies in the moonlight dance,

With this internal Bowser;
The merry stars seem laughing
In tleir places up far,
But am looking downward
On dangerous dog star.

A YOUTHFUL FATHER MATHEw-A youth, Is
years of age, by the name of C. Langdon Davis,
is creating great sensation in the provincial
towns of England. To judge from the enth usiasm
be seems to create, the mantle of Father Mathew
appears to have fallen upon him. Mr.. Davis has
Just delivered two orations In Wigan. He spoke
IN such way that alternately the tears ran down
the cheeks of his young audience, or their merry
laughter drowned his voice. He poured forth ar,
guments, illustrations, metaphors, allegories aud
perorations, speaking as if he were those of whom
he spoke, and working up his audience to an in /.
tensity of sympathy rarely equalled. One hundred
and fifty signed the pledge of abstinence in the two
evenings
