o, Sophy dear; you charming maid,
You wond'rous little spright.
You are the needle of my thoughts,
The thread of my delight.
To gaze upon thy beauteous face,
To kiss thee, what pleasure;
To hear thee call me thine, would be,
A 10y without measure.
o, Sophy duck, you sure can love,
Your little Tommy Fun;
If only its thimble full,
lis better thus than none.
Believe me dear, the truth tell.
No soap-stone am l using.
To wax your guileless heart to nine,
O, no. suit your own choosing.
Nv shear ne'er cut a garment fine,
MY scissors nc'er did trim;
Nv goose ne'er smoothed q linnen pure,
AS thee-you OaflliG Fllh.
I've basted all the town about.
The country have secured;
To mend my health you We rent in twain
BY glanccs on me showered.
Tis all in vain, I've tried my best.
To button up my affections,
And cabbaging can't save me now'
If you still raise objections.
Then be my own, my Sophy dear,
Don't cause my heart such itching,
For it is fit that we should join:
And together goon stitching.

Marriage is a noun, because it is a

Agriculture,

There is scarcely a more important
Agricultural month in the whole year,
than June. 1t terminates the period
In which most seeds can be sown, and
introduces the indispensable work of
cultivation. Many early sown or
planted crops that have failed, may
yet be replaced if the whole availa-
bic area be not already occupied with
growing crops, now is the time to put
in quick growing vines, beans or other
staples. The early planted corn, po-
tatocs, and roots of all kinds, should
receive immediate and careful atten-
tion, to free them from weeds, loosen
the soil, top-dress with ashes, or fine
manure, and thus secure their rapid
growth. Vigorous growth in the car
lier stages of a plant, is most likely
TO be followed by generous fruiting.
Cultivation of the soil may appear
tame and uninteresting work in these
exciting times, and the temptation
will be great to leave peaceful fields
for the field of conflict, but remember
that feeding the country is as ncces-
sary as fighting her battles, and that
full garrisons can only be maintained
by full gamers.

Virginia, when they came across a
small party Of secession scouts. One
