TO CARRIE
OH Carrie, if thou but mine,
OH Carrie, if thou vert but mine,
I'd be the happest alive.
.t 4 My life would be divine. Carried
Such smiles as light thy winsome face
Are matchless this world DER, Carrel
Whene'er we meet on thy sweet grace
gaze and adore, Carrie
..- Oh Carrie, If thou vert, etc
Though other eyes Loves arrows dart
As keen as keen be, Carrie,
OH none but yours shoot through my heart
Or make slave of me- Carried
Oh! Carrie, If thou vert, ETC.
Thy cherry lips more tempting seem
Than e'er l before Carrie!
They haunt SO that in sweet dream
I've kissed them once and more, Carrie
Oh Carrie, if thou vert, etc.
Upon thy merry, tripping tongue
Awake, and dreaming, too Carrie-
In sweeter rapture have hung
Than e'er before knew. Carried
OH Carrie, if thou wett etc.
Then smile upon ms, fairest smile!
Thy grares let me tell, Carrie!
And let thine eyes my lips the while,
Awake, to thine impel, Carrie
And, Carrie, say thou wilt be mine;
OH Garry, say thou wilt be mine.
Make me the happiest man alive
OH make my my life divine, Carried
If the publication of the effusion effects the de-
sired end, the writer and Carrie will be expected
to become honorary life contributors to Facts and
Fictions, in recognition of the good fortune thus
brought to them.
Miss BURDETT Courts AND THE DUCHESS OF
ST. ALBAN' s.-Newspaper notices of these very
remarkable ladies', which have lately been made,
recall well authenticated anecdote about the
latter, which will bear repeating now and again.
1t was related by the duchess herself, as follows
I" When was poor girl, working very hard for
my thirty shillings Isl SOY week, went down to
Liverpool during the holidays, where was always
kindly received. l was to perform in a new piece,
something like those pretty little affecting dramas
they get up now at our minor theaters; and in my
character represented poor, frendless orphan
girl, reduced to the most wretched poverty. A
heartess tradesman prosecutes the sad heroine for
heavy debt, and insists on putting her in prison.
unless some one will be bail for her. The girl
replies Then I have no hope I have not
friend in the world.' What? will no
one be bail for you, to save you from
prison?' asks the stern creditor i have told
you I have not a friend on EARTH, was my reply.
But just as was uttering the words, saw sailor
in the upper gallery, springing over the railing,
letting himself down from one tier to another,
until he bounded clear over the orchestra and
tootghts, and placed himself beside me in a mo-
ment. Yes, you shall have one friend at least
my poor young woman, said he, with the greatest
expression in his honest. sunburnt countenance ;
i VIII go bail for you to any amount. And as for
you turning to the frightened actor) if you don't
bear hand, and shift your moorings, you lubber,
1t will be worse, for you when l come athwart
your bows Every creature in the house rose
the uproar was perfectly indescrbable peals of
laughter, screams of terror cheers from his tawny
messmates in the gallery preparatory scrapings of
Viohhs 1fom the orchestra and amidst the uni
yersal din, there stood the unconscious cause of
it, sheltering me, the poor, distressed Young
woman, and breathing defiance and destruction
against my mimic prosecutor. He was only per
suaded to relinquish his care me by the manager
pretending to arrive and rescue me, with a profu-
sion of theatrical bank notes."
