CITY NOTES.
THE DEVIL AND I.

once III the shape OF lump or money, |
Once like a maid in her useful grace.
Once like a lifelong hope accomplished,
Once in the shape of thought in
stilrd
Once in the guise of my hearts ambi-
ton,
Once like a promise of joy fulfilled.
Never he comes as roaring lion,
No! He is always calm and bland,
Courteous, witty, and pleasant spoken
AS the bravcst gentleman in the land. |
IT'S a cheating game that we play to-
gether:
But he's not so clever as men opine!
know that his worship's dice are load
ed
He does not know that I've loaded
mine!

The City of Palatka arrived here from
Charleston yesterday morning, bringing
a heavy freight.
Mr.. B. J. Grooms has had q big avn
log put up in front of his store on which
he is having an immense sign painted
that will attract the attention of all who
| pass along in that neighborhood.
| The city markets are now supplied
with the good things of this life, and the
menu OF the hotels and boarding houses
have consequently improved, much to
| the satisfaction of the traveller and
| bOarder.
| Six large schooners were at the Palat-
ka wharfs yesterday, and the noise made
by the men engaged in unloading their
| cargoes was pleasing contrast to the
quietness of summer in that quarter of
the city.
The little showers yesterday afternoon
had the effect of making business and
the streets pretty dull, and an item was
about as hard to find as the man who
wanted to loan ten dollars without iron
clad security.
Mr.. b. l.. Lilienthal, the live furniture
| aruets. .,.att.zi... etc. shown - pala +"
