THE GODDESS OF SLANG.

I vas courting beautiful girl one night.
Whom Worship ed as almost divine,
And longe1 to hear breathed the sweet little word
That told me that she would be mine;
was praising the wealth of her chestnut hair,
The depth of her eyes of matchless blue,
When she laid her sweet check on my shoulder
and said,
"Hurrah! that's bully for you'
started in terror, but managed to keep
From showing my intense surprise,
And pressed my lips lightly on brow and on check.
And then on her meekly closed eyes,
told her nv love was deep as the sea,
CAS- felt her heart 60 PIT pattcr)
/ would worship her always if she would be mine
And she whispered, "That's rhat's the matter i"
told her her check would the rose put to shame
Her teeth the famed Orien. pearl.
And the ocean 8 icl coral could never compare
With tic lips of nv beautiful girl car
That her voice was like music that comes to the
In the hight time-anG sweet was her smile
As that of an angel, and softly she b!caihed,
"On that you can Just bet your pile -
In tn he hush Of tie starlight still whispered on
AMI csed ler more close to my breast:
Talked swceter than Romeo, dearer than Claude
And told her how true love Was best:
OF bliss in cottage, OF flowers and birds.
(Tnoush felt the times strange out OF joint,)
When she looked with a smile and daintily lisped
In my ear, II can't see the point"
pressed her still closely, talked still more
sweet,
Called the stars To look down our love.
Made love rhyme to dove, and KISS rhyme TO bliss,
And vowed by the heavens above
l'G be constant and true if she'd only be mine;
Pressed her lips and caressed her brown locks
When she answered me back with rich, saucy
laugh,
"Look here oin't you after tle Rocks ;"

Last week We attempted to show that the
adoption of a policy" for the purpose o.
securing the votcs of weak kneed changa-
bles, would tend to weaken US, instead cf
giving us strength. Among the reasons
we assigned was this: that such 4 course
must be more or less deccptious, and the
exposure of such deception By the Abcli-
tionists would ruin lis. We met with a
telling example of this kind last week.
The Pittsburg Dispatch of last Friday ex
poses the following extract from what it
calls a leading copperhead writer
"The best plan is to recognize this fact
and strike boldly for popular favor with
the weapons which are readiest for our use

rision about our ears The country IS

but chafo at our weakness
Now, We do not know who is the author
of this sentiment, nor do we care. We

oondemp any expression we dislike, with
out waiting to ascertain who made it.

PROP. A. J. UPsoE.-The lecture OF
Prof. Epson, this evening, before the
Young Mems Association, will certainly
be great success. The Albany Journal
thus speaks of the lecture which has re-
Gently been delivered by him in that
city:
Livery seat was occupied; the stage
was crowded; while every inch Of stand
ing room was monopolized. Tae lecture
was admirable in treatment and delivery
Every page aud paragraph glowed With
eloquence or sparkled with wit 1t was
earnest without being declamatory, aud
thoughtful without being prosaic l.
abounded in beautiful ideas clothed in
language sinewy yet graceful. while even
the most sober passages were relieved bJ
touches of qniet humor and flashes OF
quaint yet tender sentiment
We are satisfied that of the present
course of lectures before the Association
there will be none more attractive thar
this one OF Prof. Upson's.
The lecture will be delivered in Metro
politan Hall, not Bryan Hall, the las
named being pre-occupisd. = Chicago
