HEROES AND STARS.
Your correspondent Kully makes
a happy comparison between kettles
and pots. We confess we see de-
cided similarity between himself
and the latter, not in color, how
ever, but in the shape and size of
the various parts, mouth and paunch
for instance.
Leo signs for our pen. Well, he
can have it. 1t is quaint old quill,
shed by some goose at Aspen Hill,
a goose and his feather should be
together. We hope he will not sta
ton it in the wings of his imagina
ton, but all foolish folly to prevent,
stick it in the tail of his judg
ment. We miss your spicy CORES
pondence. From Prospect, Sans
Souci was rich, rare and racy. Her
thoughts were linked together like
oriental pearls. We deem it 'svain
to praise and useless TO blame.''
Mutual Friend was suaviter in naodo
ct foytiter IN re, and wrote with all
the otiana cum dignitQte of young
Solomon. Old Salt was gritty,
sharp and saline. We don't think
there was much sugar in his COM
position. Salt is a good preserva-
tive, when taken inwardly and out
wardly twill interpose to save our
carcass from the crows, but it is not
fair to shoot paper bullets at pretty,
little pullcts.
wants to marry, and herein portrays
his model wife.
Wanted, by a bachelor, not far
from his teens, a woman as help
mate, companion and friend; not
one of the foolish and fashionable
beings, that wears long trail and
goes Grecian bend.
Wanted, a woman that's not
great scold, who'll marry for love
and not for riches, who'll tell her
age, no matter how old, and never
attempt to wear the brooches.
Wanted, woman, no false snowy
creature, adorned with jewels Of
brass and bright tin, made by the
milliner burlesque on nature, her
head decked without but empty
within.
Wanted, woman, not the vain
counterpart of fashion and pride in
body and mind; painted by folly |
and padded by art, swaying a noun
famous hustle behind.
Wanted, a woman, not dressed |
for display, wearing fools fringe |
her forehead around, trimmed with
long streamers in gaudy array, hair
dubbed so tight her heels leave the
ground.
Wanted, woman, no gay belle of
fashion, her head full of nonsense,
her heart full of whims; woman of
sense, not the bold and the rash
one, that pins back her dress to
show the shape of her limbs.
Wanted, a woman whose heart
and whose head, is not changed by
each silly thing she may view. her
nose not tinged with cardinal red,
nor eyes with navy blue.
- Wanted, woman that's calm and
serene, not the heart of a flirt nor
the head of a Ounce, her mind not
died in myrtle green; now, ladies,
dear ladies, don't all SPEAK at once.
Wanted, woman well versed in
knowledge, not green miss just
home from school, who rubbed her
head 'gainst the walls of q college,
and graduated-in swiss and white
tulle.
Wanted, a woman that's sweet
and refined, having the riches that
virtues impart, as good as a mother,
as loving and kind, with all the
sweet graces enshriniDg her heart.
His heart and his fortune is at
her disposal, he'll make her his idol
and love during life, he's ready and
willing to make proposal, and to
call her his dear and darling wife.
But he'll wait till leap-year, if
such her desire, for her to address
him and the question to pop; he'll
then blush and faint-"ohl bring
the cam phi r-e"--and into her
arms lovingly drop.

This ends our melange from
Leatherwood. We have sought to
be more amusing than instructive.
If we have pointed the finger of rid
icule at any orc or anything, it was
merely from good humor and to ex-
cite the resibilities OF our readers.
We now lay aside our goose. euin pen,
'The mighty instrument Of little men"
