A QUESTION OF 6ALLANTRY.-The gaiety
of this season has not been exceeded or even
equalled in this city for q number of years.
There are several dancing clubs, card clubs,
assemblies, literary clubs, &C.. at which
many of the young people and not q few OF
the older ones frequently meet several times
8 week. But it is said sub rosa that the
ladies' and gentlemen only meet at such en-
tertainmeuts, many of the gentlemen going
thither by themselves, Indifferent TO the in
convenience the ladies may have in securing
escorts. This Is nothing more or less than
seltishnes5 and uDgallantry on the part CT
the young men. which Is understood By the
ladies' and has caused considerable comment
among the latter. The Alexandria ladies
say they are Indifferent to such treatment,
but for the reputation of the city, would lie
the gentlemen to be more attentive to the
strangers who visit here. From reports and
Indications the gentlemen act on the prio.
ciple that as they are in the minority they
vii always be in demand and can do as
they please, but the ladies say it is q long
road that has no turning.

THE OLD-FASHTONED SCHOOL,
MA'AM.


How dear to my heart is the old fashioned
schoolma'am,
Whsn sad recOllections present her to
view,
The way which she'd often we boys with
rule lamm
Would make the whole future look fear
fully bluo
And still in my fancy l feel my flesh tlnglc,
Time never can quite the sensation de-
stroy,
For when she got ratified she made the
house jingle
The old-fashioned schoolma'am, knew
when boy
The red headed schoolma'am, the strong
muscled schoolma'am,
The argus-eyed schoolma'am | knew
when boy.
If we dared crook finger, twas quickly
detected,
Aud followed at once with Il punishment
dread,
Until all the boys IL the school half sus-
pected
She could see inst as well with the back
of her head.
There, then was no use in our trying to
fool her.
She had an impression we couldn't de-
stroy,
And so she would earnestly lay on the
ruler
The old fashioned schoolnla'am l knew
when boy;
The red-headed schoolmaam, the strong
muscled schooma'am,
The argus-eyed schoolmaam l knew
when boy,
And yet, notN outstanding her constant
endeavor,
Our school days with sly, hoyith pleas
ure were fraught,
We alwaS s were into some mischief when
ever
We thought we could do it without be-
ing caught.
we threw paper WadS ana were NOISY ana
pranky,
And did every thing which we could to
annoy
No wonder that once in a willie she was
cranky
The old fashioued schoolma'am knew
when a boy
The boarded round scheolma'am, the un-
derpaid schoolnla'am,
The much-abused schoolma'am knew
when boy.
