Dimpled, dainty, one4and-tw enty,
Rosy-faced and Round of limb,
Warm d with mother-wit in plenty,
Prudent, modest, spry yet prlm,
Lily-handed, tiny footed,
With an ankle clean and neat,
Neatly gloved and trinity booted,
Looking nice and smelling sweet
Self-possess' subduing beauty
To sober sense of duty,
Chaste as Dian, plump as Hebe,
Such I guess was little Phoebe.
Q how different creature
From that other wondrous woman
Not feeling, not feature,
Had these two fair flowers in common.
One WAS tall and nodded finely,
Large of limb, and grand of gaze,
Rich with incense, and divinely
Throbbing into passionate rays
Luscious-eyed and luscious-bosom'd
Beautiful, and richly rare,
Asa passion flower full blossom'd,
Born to Love and Loves despair.
Such was Red Rose; and the other?
Tiny, prudish, if you please,
Meant to be happy mother,
With bunch of housewives keys.
Prudent, not to be deluded,
Happy-eyed and sober-mooded,
Dainty, mild, yet self-reliant,
She, as I'm worthy singer,
Wound our vacillating giant
Round her little dimpled finger.

tempt to make the poor white man feel that he
is no better than the negro who comprises near
ly the whole strength of the Radical party
Can the negro rise to the high positions in DO

white man and his children are eligibleP Who
will dare to say he can? Therefore, the negro

the poles. The absurd and vicious attempt of
the Radicals to make them equal should pro-
woke the deepest and strongest indignation of
white men, whether rich or poor. Poor or rich.
the white man who could be misled by this
shallow device is unworthy of his race and
should seek the painter that would give him

born and with which he no longer deserves to
