thicker tnan the nalrS on DlacklnS
brush, and brighter than the hues of
humming birds pinions, visit me in my
slumbers, aud borne on their invisible
wings, your image stands before me,
and | reach out to grasp 1t like points
er swapping at blue bottle fly. When
| first beheld your angelic projections
| was bewildered and my brain whirIed
around like humble bee under glass
tumbler. My eyes stood open like
cellar doors in country town, and
lifted up my ears to catch the silvery
accents of your voice. My tongue,
refused to wag, and in silent alteration
| drank in the sweet infection of love
as thirsty man swalloweth tumbler'
of hot whisky punch
Since the light of your face fell upon
my life, sometimes feel as could
lift myself up by my boot straps to
the top Of the church steeple aud pull
the bell rope for singing school. Day
and night you are in my thoughts.
When Aurora, blushing like bride,
raises from her caiiron colored crouch
when the jay birds pipes his tuneful
lay in the apple tree by the springhouse;
when the chanticleer's shrill clarion
heralds the coming morn;when the awak>
ening pig ariseth from his bed and
grunteth and goefh for morning refresh.
ments when the drowsy beetle wheels
to droning flight at shltry noon tide; and
when the lowing herds come home at
milking time. think of thee; aud like a
piece of gum eslastic, my heart seems
| stretched clear across my bosom. Your
hair is like the name of my sorrel
horse, powdered with gold and the
brass pins skewered through your wa
terfall fill me with unbounded awe.
Yours forehead is smoother than the
elbow OF an old coat. Your eyes are
glorious to behold. Ia their liquid
depths see lcgions of little cupids
bathing, like a cohort of ants in an old
army cracker. Their fire hit when me
upon my manly breast il penetrated my
whole anatomy, as load of bird shot
through a rotten apple. Your nose is
from chunk oi Parian marble, and
your mouth is puckered with sweetness
Nectar fingers on your lips, like honey
on bears paw and myriads Of un
fledged kisses are there, ready to fly
out somewhere, like blue birds out of
their parents nest Your laugh rings
in my ears like windharps strain or
the bleat of stray lamb on a bleak
hill side. The dinplcs on your cheeks
are like bowers in beds of roses, or
hollows in cakes of home sugar
am dying to fly to thy presence
aud pour out the burning eloquence of
my love, as thrifty housewives pour
out hot coffee. Away from you | am
melancholy as sick rat
Sometimes ] can hear the june
bugs of desponIeucy buzzing in my
ears, and feel the cold lizard of de.
spair crawling down my back Uhcouth
fears like thousand minnows nimble
at my spirits and my soul is pierced
with doubts, as an old cheese is bored
with shippers.
My love for you is stronger than
the smell Of Cofeys patent butter or
the kick of young ccw, and more un
selfish than kittens first caterwaul
As a song bird bankers for the light of
day, the cautious mouse for the fresh
bacon IN the trap, as mean pup ham
kers after new milk. so | long for thee.
You are fairer than spcckled pullet
swceter than q Yankee doughunt fried
in sorghum molasses, brighter than
a topnot plumage on the head of a
muscovy duck. You.are candy, kisses
rasins, pound cake and sweetened toddy

If these few remarks will enable you

to win your affections, would be a,
