A TOUCHING CAsE.-Our "devir' is just
passing through the dangerous "sweet-
sixteen" period Of bis existence. We have
frequently Of late noticed the youth gazing
abstractedly at q piece Of paper pasted be-
side his 'case," while every now and then
bis young breast would heave with long,
drawn sigh. Prompted somewhat by curl
osity, and somewhat bya desire to assist
the lsa if he were in difficulty, We took .
look At the paper which seemed to embody
the sum Of oil his troubles, and found that
it bore fsur lines Of poetry, running Is
follows:
IT'S sweet to court;
Int Oh how hessg,
And then not git h~w
