| commoti0n,
And no one appears to have the least notio
AS to who the correspondent may be.
Now, I'li give you some names-or initials
that's safer
Ana l think In the list, if you're sharp, yo,
| may lay for
The author, who, am sure, is he.
| The first on my list is r. w. s.
He is a handsome young blonde, and exqis-
lite in dress
4 general favorite with all;
He is social and jolly as any one could be,
should be,
And also enjoys i good ball.
Next, I'll mention A. B., our nice little bach
elor,
Who, Pm sorry to say, has just packed hi:
satchel for
A trip-I believe, towards the East
But his stay will be transient; he will no
remain,
For later this spring, "When the robins mes
again."
He'll be back, or we hope so, at least.
There is also or friend, Mr.. II. c. c.,
Who in one point resembles the renowned
McGinty,
For he dresses in his best Sunday clothes;
But, unlike the great hero, he will never &c
under,
For on some great Invention he is working
like thunder:
What it is, Pm sure nobody knows.
A. p. is gent who is handsome but cruel
In fact two young ladies came near fighting
duel,
For he paid his addresses to each.
Young man, you should choose either one
or the other;
You can't marry both, but you might be a
brother
To the one who is out of your reach.
&. X. is very nice gentleman, truly
Neither drinks, smokes, or chews, and in no
wise unruly;
But think there is scarcely doubt,
From the recent reports whispered ever SO
lightly,
OF certain front CRATE which he hangs over
nightly,
He is getting quite partial to Krout.
Then there's "Billy''-our "Billy"- who
rides high horse,
Which every one knows, as matter of course; ;
His voice is as sweet as Parepa!
Some nights he gets weary, so he loosens the
check,
Puts his arms gently round the dninaiLe'S
neck,
And rides sort of "d la Mazeppa."
\. f. is a beau who some fair one has charm
ed.
He should never go drying with ladies I'M
armed,
Especially at night, any distance;
For there's always some rowdies, at least so
tits said,
Who are eager and anxious to paint the
town red,
If they thought they would meet no resist
ance.
w. L. is a gentleman, modest and kind,
Very nice looking, but exceedingly blind
mean to the girls of our town!
don't know the reason; perhaps he's been
Tilted:
In that case, no wonder his courage has
wilted.
''Who struck Billy P.ss' Ave it down.
NJ. X. is another who shuns the fair sex,
But emo fiies on NJ. X" in all other respects;
He is well liked by everybody,
the fact, which every one
knows,
Slight penchant he has (now this is sub rosa,
For good whisky punch or toddy.
W. A. is a youth whom you might term
pretty;
Quite young, but decidedly bright and witty.
As tlirt he will take the cake;'
He goes with girl for week or more,
Then he sees a new face in the Company
Store.
And gives his first sweetheart the shake!
A. l.. is gent Of undOub:ed firm will.
He visits quite often in Ghermanvile,
But | won't tell the fair lady's name;
Not that think she would have an objection,
For no finer young man lives In this section,
But it wouldn't do to tell, "al the same"
&. NJ. is what l call a butter fly young man;
He goes from flower to flower-it's very
poor plan!
Choose one, as in games of lawn tennis,
Or you'll waken up, some fair, sunny morn
ing,
If you do not take heed to my friendly warn
ing,
And you'll find that "your name is Dennis!"
W. J., is a reticent youth, much admired
By the girls, who regret that he keeps so re-
He's so bashful, so timid you see.
But on St. Patrick's night he went to the
ball,
And really and truly he astonished US all,
For he mustered up courage and escorted
Miss B.
Ed. NJ. has only recently come to this place.
HE'S a moral young man, with a classical
face,
And very subdued, modest air.
He seems rather shy of the petticoat faction,
II this is mistake wiiIlmake retraction,
For of course that would only be fair.)
r. G. is a rosy checked, handsome young
laddie,
He likes all the girls. but he loves only
Addie.
Well, that's what his comrades all say.
[ hope she will never forget or forsake him;
Still no matter what troubles IN life overtake
him,
He will ever and always be Gay,
