A FAIR WOMAN.

EYRs full and quick with breath
Sweet as double violets,
And. And wholesome , as dying leaves OF wberIies =
And cheeks mingled with pale streaks OF red,
Such as the blushing morning never wore;
With narrow mouth, small teeth,

with honor in the world, is to be in
reality what you would appear to be;
and il we observe we shall find that all
human virtues increase and strengthen
by the practice and experience of them.

Servian has translated Yankee Doodle"
into his native tongue, and the air is so
popular that it bids fair to become the
national anthem of that struggling race.

LET every father buy his boy pistol.
1t is wonderful what world of amuse-
ment there is in it. The boy may shoot
some barmeless bird, pig, a cow, a
horse, his little sister, or maybe himself.
Here is horse case right at hand from
an Eastern paper: "Three boys, who
were practicing with a pistol at Hart
ford the other day. accidently shot the
trotting mare Maybe inflicting
wound that will probably prove fatal.
The animal has record of 2:23, and is
valued at $4,000" Cases where boys
shoot their little sisters or themselves
are too common to need the reference of
any case at hand.
BURLINGTON Ha,ck-Eye: A young
