Littleton Coke VS.. Clara Fitzpoodle,
BY THE BABD OF TOWER HALL.

CHAPTER VI.
Mr.. Littleton Coke started up in surprise,
With wonder protruding from both of his eyes,
lie sat up moment, then got out of bed,
Looked up to the ceiling and down on the floor,
And, placing one hand on the top OF his head,
He carefully lifted the garments he wore
And then from his pOcketbOOk taking note
He scanned it intently, determined that he,
With full seven senses would put it to vote,
If LittletOn Coke was the notes promiseC,
Was he Litteton Coke, and was Littleton he?
When he got fairly dressed and had fully awokc,
He found that he really was LittletOn Coke;
That same individual certain and true
The man of my story with nothing to do.
In a month he was married, and strange though
it seems
The maid resembled the maid of his dreams.
The wedding, of course was splendid Affair;
The nabObS of fortune were all of them there
The Burst-Ups, the Stuck-Ups the Stand-Ups, the
titay-UpS;
Bus,thg question arises how many were Pay-CpS?
For this much is certain, that one OF them there
The proni cynosuIe of bevy OF beauties
" as Clara Ftzpnodle with nothing to wear,
And in 6ebl TO her uncle for unsettled duties.
The parties were married. the wedding was over
The Strings of tGeir hearts were most sweetly in
Shonc on, as they s.9od in the tallest of clover,
From the heaven of Ave by fully honeymoon.
They packed up. their taings, and went off on a
To old Saratoga. of fashion Ito pride;
Where rose kissing zephyrs both balmy and pure,
Could deposit their sweets the lips of the bride,
Where Cupid, we'll pleased with TIE work he had
Or rather the matter, so fairly begun
The spark he had kindled might fan with his
wings
To flame that no water could quench at the
springs.
Saratoga they lett, to Niagara going.
To see mid the wonders, the wonder Of all,
Where the deep rolling surge, in its majesty flow
Chains the anthem Of nature in notes that appal
| The deep thunder tones fills the soul with emo
ton;
| Awe stricken and humbied the gazer must stand
And his heart be attuned by the pureSt devotion,
4 To him who has spoken THUS far to the ocean,
And hOldeth, in mercy the haodS IN His hands,
1 They looked and they wondered, the bride wa
| delighted,
And said 10 her husband while passing along,
| Like those drops in the stream may our heart
| be united;
| Our love, like Niagara, constant and strong
| Yes" answered the husband, 81 and don't deer
me cruel,
| Those duplicate rose buds don't spoil with pou
If in sport remark to my hearts dearest Jewel,
Those drops at the cascade will be falling out.
1 Nay, cheer up my love, and do not he AFRAID;
| In the stream Of our love there shall be no ca

a Or table rock either" she said with sigh.
| " A cradle rock, rather" his ready reply.
| But Speaking of tables reminds me that
Am weary and dusty, and hungry, and dry; .
| For Nature is stubborn and still makes her calls
| At home in the city, or out at the Fails.
| We can follow the fashion and come 1--WE pleas
But we can't get away from such troubles at tines
