A MODEL LOVE LETTER.
4 Breach or Promise Case-Thc Rap
TIRES Of Cupid.

A breach or Promise Case-Thc Rap
lures Of Cupid.
"MY DEAR Mrs. M.-Every time
| think of you my heart hops up
and down like churn dasher.
Sensations of unutterable joy caper
over it like young goats oyer a
stable roof, and thrill through it
like Spanish needles through pair
of tow linen trowsers. As a goslin
swimmeth with delight in q mud
puddle, SO swim in a sen OF glory.
Visions of ecstatic rapture thicker
than tn 10 hairs of backing brush,
and brighter than the hues of Il
bummipg birds pinions, visit me
In my slumbers, and borne on their
invisible wings, your image stands
before me, and reach out to grasp
it. like u pointer swapping at blue
bottle fly. When ! first beheld your
angelic PROJECTIONS ! was bewildered,
ana my brain whirled round like a
humble bee under glass tumbler.
NV ewes stood open like cellar doors
in a country town, and / lifted up
nv 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 swailoweth q hot
whiskey punch, en-
Since the light of your face fell
upon nv life, ! sometimes feel as If
i could lift myself up by my boot
straps to the top of the church stee-
pie, and pull the bell-rope for sing
Inc school. Day and night you are
in nv thoughts. When Aurora,
blushing like bride, rises from her
saffron. eolored couch; when the
law bird pipes his tuneful lay in the
apple.tree by the spring-house ;
when the chaAticleer's shrill clarion
heraIds the coming morn when the
awakening pig ariseth from his bed
and grunteth, and goeth forth for
his mornings refreshments; when
the drowsy beetle wheels to droning
fight at sultry noon-tide; and when
the lowing herds come home, at
milking time, I think of thee, and
Ike a piece of gum elastic my heart
seems stretched clear across my
bosom.
"Your hair is like the name OF Q
sorrel horse powdered with gold
and the brass pins skewered through
your waterfall fill me with unbound
ed awe. Your forehead is smoother
than the elbows Of an old coat
Your eyes are glorious to behold
In their liquid depths | see leglons
of little Cupids bathing, like a cohor
of ants in On old army cracker
When their fire hit me upon my
manly breast it penetrated my
whole anatomy, as load Of birt
shot through rotton apple. foul
nose is from q chunk of Parial
marble, and your mouth is puckere'
with sweetness. Nectar fingers o.
your lips, like honey on q bear
paw; and myriads Of unaedge'
kisses are there, ready to fly GU
and light somewhere, like blue pro Slra
from their parents nest. You
laugh rings in my ears IKE ID
