halls from England, begins one of his pro- |
ductions as follows:
- breathe in the face OF Il maiden,
l kiss the soft mouth OF a rose"
If the poet had been born in this country
where common sense is abundant, he would |
have breathed in the face of rose and kissed |
the mouth of the madden Baltimore Anteri- |

toned by the poet had been eating onions |

posed of scholars of the academy, held its
second meeting yesterday at the home of
Miss Katie Merritt Their experiments with
the culinary art have so far tended towards
sweetmeats only, but they intend to under
take the more substantial foods at an early
meeting. If serious attention is given this
study by the young ladies it may prove
very beneficial to them in tn, future. But
would it not be better for them to appoint

in such an important study" We hope that
the society may flourish and be productive
of many good results.
