The following is sublime, and we recon-

Ny dear Mss C:-Every time think of
you my heart hops up and down like churn-
dssher. Sensations of unutterabe jog caper
over 1t like young goats on stable roof anil
thrill through it like Spanish needles through
apair OF tow-linen trousers. AS gosling swim
meth with delight in u mud-puddel, 40 swim
in a sea of glory. Visions Of ecstatic rap
ture, thicker than the hairs on a blscking
brush, ami brighter than the hues of a hum
ming birds piaions, visit me in my slum-
bers; and borne on their invisible wings,
your image stands before me- and | reach
out to grasp it, ike pointer Shaping ut
blue-bottle fly. When first beheld your an
gelic perfections, l was bcwildered. and my
brain whirled around like a bumble-bee un-
der glass tumbler. NV eyes stood omen
Ike celar-doors in a country-town, and
htted up my ears to catch the silvery accents
OF your voice. My tongue refused to wag.
and IN silent alteration | drank in the sweet
injection of love. Since the light of your
face fell upon my life. | sometimes feel as
1t could lift myself up by my boot-straps to
the top of the Presbyterian steeple, and pull
the bell-rope for singing-school. Day and
night you are in my thoughts. When Au-
rora, blushing like bride, rises from her
saffron couch when the jay-brd pipes his
tuneful lay in the apple-tree by the spring
house; when the chandeliers shrill clarion
heralds the coming morn when the drowsv
beetle wheels his droning flight at snltry
noontide, and when the lowing COWS come
home at milking-time. think Of thee and
like piece of gum-elastic, my heart seems to
stretch clear across my bosom. Your fore
head Is smoother than the elbow of an old
coat. Your eyes are glorious to behold. In
their liquid depths see myriads Of little Gu
plds bathing like n cohort of ants in an old
army cracker. When their FIRE hit me upon
my manly breast, it penetrated my whole
anatomy as q load of bird-shot would c0
through rotten apple. Your nose is from q
chunk of Parian marble, and your mouth
puckered with sweetness. Nectar fingers
over your lips like honey on bears paw,
and myriads of unfledged kisses are there
ready to fly out and light somewhere. like
blue-birds out of parent nest Your laugh
rings in my ears like The wind-harp's strains
or the bleat of stray lamb on bleak hill
side. The dimples in your cheeks are like
bowers in beds of roses, or hollows in cakes
of homemade sugar.
am diving to fly to thy presence and pour
out the burning eloquence of my love, IA
thrifty housewives pour out coffee. Away
from you am as melancholy as O sick rat.
Sometimes | can hear the June bugs of de-
spondencv buzzing in my ears, and feel the
cold lizards of despair crawling down my
back. Uncouth fears. like thousand min
nows, nibble at my spirits. and my soul ia
pierced through with doubts, as an old
cheese is bored with shippers.
NV love for you is stronger than the smell
of Cofy's patent butter, or the kick of
young COW, and more unselish than kit
tens first caterwaul. As the song-bird ham
kers for the light of day, the cautious mouse
for the fresh bacon in the trap, as lean pup
bankers for new milk, so I long for thee.
You are fairer than a speckled pullet, sweet
err than Yankee doughnuts fried in sorghum
molasses, brighter than the top-kuot plum
age on the head Of = muscovy duck. You
are candy kisses, rasins, pound cake, and
sweatened toddy altogether
If these few remarks will enable you to sea
the insde of INV soul. and me to win YOUR af-
fections. shall be as happy as a woodpecker
on cherrv-tree, or n stage-horse in n green
pasture. If you cannot reciprocate nv thrill
ing passon, | will pine away like poisoned
bed-bug. and fall away from the flourishinc
vine of life, an untimelv branch and in the
coming years. when the shadows grow from
the hills, and the philosophical frog sings his
cheerful hymn. you, happy in anothcr's love,
can cGme and drop tear and catch a. cold
upon the last resting place of
