OUR FIRST LITERARY SOCIETY.

OUR FIRST LITERARY SOCIETY.
The plan Of our society was this. Six
or eight Of US, from twelve to sixteen
years old, agreed to meet every Saturday
afternoon at each Others houses. We
had president to keep order, and sec
retary TO record what was done; they
held their offices four weeks. When The
time for meeting came the secretary call
ed The roll after hearing the minutes Of
the last meeting, the president would take
the list Of those who had been appointed
to prepare compositions, or speeches. and
call them one by one 10 take the floor
and perform duties assigned. We took
an interest in the society and rarely failed
to be ready.
Then came The debate. The subject
had been chosen, and debaters appointed
on each side week before. For half an
hour or more they would keep up war
of words. The discussion did not fail 10
sharpen our wits. When you rub the
edges Of two knives together both knives
become sharp; so when you set two boys
10 arguing, the minds of both will become
sharper by tn, process. And to keep
up the interes, in the debate, the society
would take vote, as soon as they were
through, 10 decide which side had done
best. Our questions were such as suited
boys. One was, whether the Sword or
tho pen is the more powerful weapon
another, whether Napoleon or Hannibal
was the greater general; or, whether cur
foreisthers had any right 10 take the land
in Virginia away from The Indians who
were notusing it Often the debate grew
very warm and interesting.
After this, we would hold our business
meeting, choose question for discussion
at the next week, elect officers. make and
change rules for the society. or elect q
new member. Then we adjourned, and
enjoyed our other games with hearty
goodness.
Our society vas success; but its sue
cess was due in great measure, 10 absence
of fuss and parade. II see boys, in
forming society, commence by collect
ing money to hire room, and buy lurni-
,ure and make special fixture, am al
most sure they will fail. In two or three
months The interest will all die oui. But

DON'T MARRY A MAN IF HE
DRINKS.

Young ladies, pray listen TO me,
And keep just as quiet as mice,
While | sing you song-it Is not very long
Which contains piece Of advice
No matter what people may say,
No matter what somebody thinks
If youw wish TO be happy the rest of your days,
Don't marry man that drinks,
Don't marry man that drinks.
He may be handsome and gay,
And have such beautiful voice
And may dance SO diTInely, you'll feel in your
heart
That he must be the man of your choice
If his accents are tender and low,
And sweeter than roses and pinks,
And his breath, quite different thing you may
know
Your exquisite gentleman drinks
Your exquisite gentleman drinks.
Just think Of the sorrow and cares,
The heart-rendng signs and fears
or the words and blows and cruelest woes,
And then think of the ocean of tears;
Think of Toodles, the drunkest Of men,
His attitudes, his coughs and winks,
And then think whata dignifed pair you will
make,
lfyou marry man that drinks
II you marry man that drinks.
Young ladies look well to your hearts,
Don't throw them away on a sot;
Or man who is given TO treating his friends,
What'er be his station or lot,
Though his pride may uphold him awhile,
Yet sooner or later he sinks
Then, if you would be happy the rest Of your
days,
Don't marry man if he drinks
Don't marry man ifhe drinks.

pEEPING THROUGH THE BLINDS.

In place of books. or work or play,
Some ladies spend the livelong day
In scanning every passer by,
And many wonder they descry.
They End among The motley crowd
That some are gay and some are proud,
That some are short and some are tall {;
They get their information all
BY peeping through the blinds !!
You walk the streets (at common Pace,)
You catch the outlines of face
The face seems strange again you look;
Dear srs, she knows you like book !
She knows the color OF your hair,
The very style Of clothes you wear
She knows your business, I'll be bound,
And all your friends the country round
By peeping through The blinds !
She knows The Smiths across the way,
And what they dine on every day.
And thinks that Miss Matilda Jane
Is growing very proud and vain,
She knows the Browns a. number Four,
Jus, opposite her very door;
Folks quite as poor as they can be.
For don't they ST. and sew, while she
Is peeping through the blinds
Dear ladies', if you don't succeed
In gaining knowledge that you need,
Then at your window take your seat,
And gaze into the busy street;
Full soon you'll read your neighbors well,
And can their tastes and habits tell,
And know their business 10 i,
Much better than your own, you see,
BY peeping through the blinds.
