| want an Easter bonnet,
With butter-cups upon it,
A knot of moss green velvets
And a wisp of cob-web lace,
A silver pin to pin it,
With diamond dew-drop in it,
And | want to wear beneath it
A young and pretty face.
SO I'll scribble me sonnet,
Upon this Easter bonnet,
And I'll send it to We editor
To prove his gracious will,
Should this attempt ambitious
Find We Editor propitious,
1t would-oh, how delicious,
1t would settle up the bill.
Then I'd get my pretty bonnet,
With butter-cups'upon 1t,
And wear it (having won it)
With most becoming grace,
But alas an Easter bonnet,
Might be purchased with sonnet
But nothing under heav'n will buy
A young and pretty face.

Story viz, a Moral.

John ran away from school many
afternoons and learned nothing except
how to swim, but William studied his
lessons assiduously and learned much
learning.
Everybody declared that William
would become great and good man
as to John they shook their heads.
Years passed.
Now their beloved country was
threatened with expansion! William
rose to the occasion and wrote pam
phlets which had to be excluded from
the mails. And John? All John, with
his deficient education, could do, was
enlist in the army, and swim rivers
with his sword in his teeth, which on
ly made matters worse!
If boys would please not neglect the
opportunities of their youth, how nice
it would be.-Detroit Journal.
