Had ilii.e cadences found a true tongue,
For love-though sublime hath not ottered
Thrne blest spirit tones which oft roll
Through the heart when all outward is gfoorty.
Sublime as the song of the soul.
Though pensive that brow, and half-shaded
The light or those love-waking eyes,
There was juy in the deeps of that being
That absorb! rviry sonso In surprise.
Fair F.mry had laid out the Future
To the dieuies of flipo and of Love,
An I it f. eincd, r it gleamed In bltst beauty,
That the nw-!"'i had dropped from above.
As I g-ixcd on the faco of that maiden,
I thought of the millions that roam
In quest of tho honey called pleasure,
Far away from themsalret and from home i

A kiln-dried specimen of humanity, about
5 feet 10 inches in height ; a cross be

; cil.
And oltl silk which 1ms honestly worn,
ami boldly wears the title of " a shocking
bad hat," covers a small bullet aha pod hend ;
asuckcoiitof grey tweeds covers while
it displays to perfection, a hump which
, would excito the envy of an Eastern drom
edary, or Parisian belle ; "a striped vest
buttoned closely to the throat, hides a shirt
I with which the washerwoman has but a
slight acquaintance ; breeches, whose orig

. feet, covered with yarn socks, ono of which
' is always worn wrong side outwards, and

and sensual show little firmness, but much
ambia ; his nose a counterpart of those
we dailv see attached to the flenizens of
that portion of Montgomery known as Je

fined, and his cheeks sunken, while over
his enure countenance is drawn a skin
which involuntarily causes the exclama
