If she laugh, and she chat,

And with smiles and good humor she meets me,
She's like a rich dish,
OF venison and fish,
That cries from the table como eat me-
But she'll plague you and vex you,
Distract and perplex you;
False-hearted and ranging,
Unsettled and changing,
What, then, do you think she is like?
Like sand, like rock?
Like wheel, like clock
Aye like clock that is always at strike
Her head is like the island folks tell on
Which nothing but monkeys can dwell on,
Her hearts like orange so NICE,
She carves for each lover a slice!
In truth, she's to me,
Like to wine, like to sea,
Whose raging will hearken to no man.
Like mill, like pill
Like sail, like whale
Like an ass, like glass,

DESCRIPTION OF A MAN.
WRITTEN BY A WOMAN.

WRITTEN BY A WOMAN.
4 man is like to-but stay,
To what he's unlike who can say?
And yet we cannot do without him.
Love sits in his breast,
Like hen on her nest
And his chickens are scratching around him
When he is pleased | am squeezed,
When he's not, I am leased,
And I can never tell where to find him.
He is like an old horse,
Worth little, and cross
A woman is foolish-very foolish to mind him
If he chance but to smile,
And look pleasant awhile,
And come chattering around like chicken.
He is like gay lark,
But a false-hearted spark,
Whose feathers are scarcely worth picking
But when he is yexed,
Confused and perplexad,
DeceitfuI and vicious,
Base, false and malicious,
He is lke-hard to speak myself
He is like to, alas,
Like snake in the grass.
He is then, only then, like himself!
His heads like a butchers full shop,
With beef, mutton, pork and what not;
His hearts like pail of old swill,
Which the official contributes to fill
In Short to wife,
He is like case knife,
To cut up cake or cheese
Like saint, when he's civil
But if not, like the devil
That will turn to whatever he please!
To hog, to dog,
To hare, to bear,
Whose cruelty yieldeth to no man
Like mouse, like goose,
Like mule, like fool;
Like a lane, like vane;
Like a leaf, like-in brief,
He's like everything else-but woman.

MORAL INFLUENCE OF LITERARY
FAsrE.-To young men away from
home, friendless and forlorn in
great city, the hours of peril, are
those between sunset and bed time;
for the moon and stars see more evil
in single hour than the sun in his
whole days circuit. The poets Wis
ions of evening are ali composed of
tenner and soothing images. It
brings the vanderer to his home,
the child to its mothers arms, the
OK to his stall, and the wesrr laborer
to his rest. But to the gentle-hearted
youth, who is thrown upen the rocks
of pitiless city, and ''stands home
less among thousand homes" the
of evening brings with it
an aching sense OF loneliness and
desolation, which comes down upon
the spirit like darkness upon the
earth.
In this mood, his impulses become
a snare to him, and he is led astray
because he is social, afeetionate,
sympathetic and warm hearted If
there be young man thus circun-
stanced within the sound of my voice,
let me say to him, that books are the
friends of the friendless, and that ali
brary Is the home OF the homeless.
A taste for reading will always carry
you to converse with men who will
instruct you by their wisdom and
charm you by their wit, who will
sooth You when fretted, refresh ron
when weary. counsel you when per-
picked. aud sympathize with YOU at
all times. Evil spirits in the middle
ages were exercised and driven
AWAY by bell, book and candle; you
want but two of these agents, the
book and the candle.-Geor9s S. Hi

ever the scenes we have related were
talked over in the family. As for
the younger boys they shuned the
rock on which Zebee had nearly
split, and grew up and entered upon
their course of life, respected for
their fidelity to their parents. and
their truth and propriety, in their
social relation with mankind.
After q lapse of several years,
cousin Zebee returned, to visit and
spend the time of the sickly season
in the South, at the old homestead in
Downingville. He had become port
ly, dignified, suave man, so different
from his former self that all his old
aequaintances half doubted that he
was Zebee Munson. While at his
old home, for want OF something else
to say, he, one day, said to his faith
sr, '.you took harsh method to get
me home from the Taunton races
and bring me round to my duty"
Uncle Zeb's reply was, ''extremly
dangerous, delayed cases of sickness
require prompt and efectual RENE
dies. you had made your plunge into
the vortex of dissipation, and we
barely caught you ere you sank. when
once we had you, our business was
to secure you from your wicked, un-
calmly pursuits, and no other known
means could effect what must then
be done, or else we must fail alto
gether; but, thanks to kind proyi
dence, we succeeded and have YOU
with us, the man you are, this day"
Aunt Amv's tears came in her eyes
as she put her hand on Zebee's shoul-
der, and said to him, ''my son, my
own dear son, / pittied you, and
grieyed that measures so stern were
taken in your case, but now think /
that 1t was all for the best, you was
a cross, rickety infant, and l indulged I
your caprices more than l ought, and I
so will take the blame myself"
Zebee said in reply, ''that Divine |
overruling providence snatched me /
from the burning pile, and quenched I
the fire, then consuming me, that I
might help in the cause of moral vir-
tue among my fellow beings, I have |
not doubt, l do not now reflect on,
or regret the measures taken, / as
cribe my rescue TO the infinite wis
dom and power of Cod" Uncle Zeb
thought the means used were legiti
mate and proper; his son had been
saved from those gamblers, whose
sole abjeet was to make prey of him,
and bring lasting disgrace on sll the
family and name. Now gentle rea-
der if you find divergences, in the
lines drawn from Uncle Sans late
and the sketch 1 have writ
ten OF Uncle Zeb, you haYe liberty
and free press to show forth the
of my conclusions.
