Love and Glue.

The following rare bit is from the SATURDAY.
Evening Post ave shall never forget that eve
ming we spent at MagTuders years ago We
admired Miss Magruder, and went around TO see
her. II was summer time, and moonlight. and
she sat upon the piazza. The car penter had been
there that day, gluing up the rustic chairs on
the porch, so we took a seat on the Step in front
of Miss Magruder, where we could gaze into her
eyes and drink in her smiles. 1t seems probable
that the carpenter must have upset His glue pot
on the spot where we sat- for after enjoying Miss
Magruders remarks for a couple OF hours, and
drinking several of her smiles, we tried 10 rise
for the purpose of going home, but found that
we were immovably fixed to the step. Then
Miss Msgruder said Don't be in a hurry.

The Potato Bug.

a correspondent writing from HILLSIDE
rough, Ohio, toa Cincinnati newspaper,
tells what he has done to extermiuate pota.
to Bugs. First, with no good result, he
sprinkled upon the vines lime, ashes, plas-
ter OF Paris, and sulphur. The bugs we're
next treated with turpcn,ine, benzine, spir-
its of Hartshorn, aud alcohol, but these
fluids only seemed to add to their enjoy
ment Of life. Gum camphor and asafptida
were then resorted to. Still the insects
lived on and SO they did through course
of chloroform, and of sulphuric muriatic,
acetic, nitric, nitro muria,ic, and chemical
" pure nitric acid These did not in the
least affect their appetites. Then paris
green was tried, and this was found rather
too effective, as it killed both the bugs and
the vines themselves. 1t is now proposed
10 try cplomel, which il is thought will
loosen the teeth Of the Insects

But, finding thou hast none,
Thy heart and hand resign.
Think not wish to pain thee,

And dreampt Of JOY and pleasure
That never were to come:
The house-the hounds -the horses
Thy fortune would allow;
The wines--tbe dozen courses
That dream is over now
Not for thy charms I wooed thee,
Though thou vast passing fair;
Nor for thy mind sued thee,
Though stored with talents rare;
Thine income twas that caught me
For that held thee dear
trusted thou DIST have brought me
Five thousand pounds year.
That hope, alas is blighted,
Thereon will not dwell

To wed tbee-but, farewell
My feelings let me smother,
Hard though the struggle be,
And try and find another,
