comforts of well appointed home.

therefore ask liberal patronage at the hands of
their own county people, who are not without in

supported by the business men of Staunton, and

Baby's First Tooth,

BY PRUDY
Come, look at the dainty darling
AS fresh as q new blown rose
From the top of his head so golden,
To the dear little restless toes;
You can tell by the dancing dimples,
By the smiles that come and go,
He is keeping wonderful secret
You'd give half your kingdom to know.
Now kiss him on cheek and forehead,
And kiss him on lip and chin;
The little red mouth is hiding
The rarest of pearls within
All, see! when the lips in smiling
Have parted their tender red
Do you see the tiny white jewel
Set deep in its coral bed?
Now where are the sage reporters,
Who wait by hamlet and HILL
To tell the listening nation
The news of its good or i'll
Come weave with your idle gossip
This golden blossom Of truth
Just half a gear old THIS morning,
A7d one little pearZy tooth
Little Corporal.
For the Spectator.
[ am constrained to plant grove,
To entertain the girl / love;
This apple grove must compose,
Of nineteen trees in nine straight rows;
And IN each row five trees must place,
Or never expect to see her face.
&c sons of art, grant me your aid,
To satisfy this curious maid.
The form is requested.
