Sweet Susie Brown, my pretty one,
I'm sure you must remember,
II not for love. at least for funi
The ~sleieh-rids in December.
When all the bellies and all the taaux,
In spite Of frosts would go forth.
And squeeze beneath the buffalo,
Each others hands, 30.
How brightly streamsd the northern lights.
Above the sunny ridges.
How pleasant we're the winter nights,
Observed from eourtry bridgesi
When T" toll " is sought with such address,
Mid laughter. fun and aattery,
And lovers feel amid the press,
Each others hearts, etc,
lis very singular and queer.
OF all the mad devices.
Loves fame shsuld burn so bright aAd clear.
On fuel formed Of ices;
And yet we know its fame indeed,
Most brilliantly will glow forth,
When famed behind a flying steed,
Hid under furs, &c.
I'm sure you mind the village inn.
The supper ana the rsvsl,
How. ia the general dire and din.
Love shot his arrows level;
And don't forget how Henry Kidd
Embraced you in the butteryi
You kissed his lips--you know you did. >
And he kissed yours, etc.
And when the fOrfeits all were paid,
How one old maid resisted,
Until the younger ladies said.
A prude they all detested;
"Desist." she cried, the ancient Ann,
Her modssty to show forth.
I'm never yield to any man
Ny virgin lips. &C."
The wintry winds, the homeward way,
Blew chilly in our faces.
But underneath our furs we lay,
All snugly in our places;
One girl upon the forward seat.
The pretty Nelly satterlee,
Declared Jack Frost had pinched her cheek.
And Billy Frost, etc.

Sweet Patience, with attendant Job,
Detected in earresses,
sPrang up with angry. blushinE face.
Her innocsnes to show forth,
But showed her curls we're out Of place.
Her collar gone, &c.
And then ths parting at tho door,
It's tender mutual blisses,
Sweet lips from their abundlnt store,
Gave to the poor in kisses;
The parting word, the long embrace,
cupid's most dangerous witchery,
Brought fire to many a bOyish face.
And raised sweet hopes. etc.
Dear Susie Brown, save you and 1,
Of all that load Of merriment,
No other pair are left to try
Levels latest best experiment;
And when the coming SHOWS shall spread
Our mutual hopes shall glow forth;
May Hymen bless our nuptial bed,
Increase our joys, &c.

A Home EstabIishmentThat should

To those who build houses or who
occupy them the question Of painting
and paper hanging is a matter of no
little Importance. A bad job Of work
has to be repaired continually, while a
piece Of good work lasts for years. Our
commissioner on art matters recently
visited the elegant and sumptuous suite Of
rooms Of the Tennessee Club, on South
Court street. He was astonished at the
chaste and elegant finish Of the walls
and ceilings Of the spacious parlor.
The ceiling is arranged into three large
panels, each beautiful in design and
elegant in colors Of the Pompeian style.
The side walls are in strict harmony with
the ceiling; they are beautifully pan
neled, the head or top Of each panel
being Of octagon shape and with rich
colors inlaid with gold. The reading.
room on the same aoor is charmingly
decorated in subdued c%olors, also inlaid
with gold. Our commissioner was sur
prised when be was informed that the
work was not the hsndicraft Of q
foreign artist, or that Of a fresco
painter, but that the rooms had been
b%eauti6ed both in design and execu.
ton by that old and ever reliable
dealer in wall paper, Marcus Jones, Of
No. 1864 Second street, near Madison,
and whose large and complete assert.

with all other dealers. and to carry on te
completion, without delay and in the
very bes. and most substantial manner
any work in his immediate line that may
be entrusted to his charge, aud to the
eotire satisfaction Of his customers and
patrons. We advise all who have work
Of this character to be done to visit Mr.
Jones's establishment and inspect biz
varied and elegant stock of wall paper
goods, which is composed Of the best
home and foreign manufacture.

MEMPHIS THEATER Miss G%eneyissa
Rogers appeared as Maud Muller" AZ
the theater last night, and before a small
audience. Miss Rogers is a natura! &C.
trsss, OF the emotional school and makes
a most favorable impression. The drama,
Maud Muller Is Of the domestic order.
not BY any means well written, nor in
deed does it present good situations. It
is a wretchedly poor play, bat Miss
Rogers makes the most Of 1t, and Ger
tainly she deserves a better opportunity
to display her dramatic talent, which il
not by any means Of a mediocre order,
The plot of the play seems to hinge upou
an unfortunate social marriage between
members Of different grades of society
a m~esalliance that creates trouble, but
which eventually winds up with a recon.
ciliation and results in happiness. Out
Of the threadbare plot and ally dis-
logues Miss Rogers, as MAUD Null
Ter" presents a most attractive picture
and secures the sympathy Of the au-
dience. 10 the pathetic and emotional
parts she presents quite a pleasing figure
and receives, what she undoubtedly de-
serves. the applause OF the audience.
Her school Of acting is after the style Of
Katie Putnam, with a little of Maggie
Mitchell and Lolita thrown in. The SUP.
port rendered the clever little actress BY
the Aiken Dramatic Company is not very
good and will not bear honest criticism.
Tonight Miss Rogers will play the
same role, MAUD Muller" but on Friday
night next she will appear in a new play,
translated and adapted from the French,
entitled Geneyieve.
