The Greenville girl removeth her specs And freezethher face with a smile; Then she sticks out her lips, like an open book, And cheweth a bean meanwhile. The New Berne girl says never a word, And you'd think she was rather tame; With her practical views of the matter v in hand, But she gets there just the some. The Raleigh girl, the pride of the oaks. In her clinging and soulful way, Absorbs it all with a yearnful yearn As big as a load of hay. The E. City girl gets a grip on herself As she carefully takes off her hat: Then nhe grabs u p the prize in a frenzied way, Like a terrier shaking a rat. The Washington girl, so gentle, sweet, Lets her lips meet the coming kiss, With a rapturous warmth, and the youthful souls Float away on a sea of bliss. Naughty Exchange, The Edenton girl, the pride of the Bay, Sweet, stylish and pretty, Kisses, and not a word to say, And never thinks it naughty. Fisherman & Farmer. "WOMAN.' WRITTEN FOR THE BENEFIT YOUNG MEN. OF Rocky Hock, May 7th, 18SS. To The Fisherman & Farmer. What is woman? Only the sweet reminiscence of God to man. A being which if the earth were desti tute of, the winds would seem to have no effect upon the human ear; and the sun refuse to shine in his brit liancy, and would shine dim on his dailv route, from the timp chrm-prl himself in the East, till he sank behind the Western hills; there to weep and lament at the loss of such a jewel. But they are so fatal ! Does not their folly make their fatality? Not always; not often. The madness may be ours, but the;. ow it. Ah ! do they not know how 1 . .., -. to arouse it; now to ian, to burn, to 1 it . n luu, 10 pierce, to siae, 10 innaine, 10 they know that their beauty must come, one thinks, out of hell itself Women are so insatiate, look you; l,r,irvl, tUr V,1d oil the TOrM iUw iuuus" -"- would not rest if one mote in the aii swam in sunseine free of them ! Some have eves that burn your youth dead. Faces, my God ! how beautiful ! They set themselves to gain your heart, and succeed, and the picture made there grow, and grow, and grow, so your life grow into hers until you live only by her breatn. " "' WtlliL J may have rich lives, grand lives, great lives all at their bidding; and ' yet, know no rest till they have iMnPH Hnwn from thpir rriifd heiohf . and have seized yours; that had nothinp- on earth but the iovs of the , 4. , . 4, r,i: r 4, sun aim uic ucw, 111c i-mm kji me night and the dawning of day, that are given to the birds of the fields. Their sweet words and lovelv smiles will make your chest heave with the spasms that with each throe seems to tear your fame asunder; still you conquer them, your words go on, your eyes fastened on the burning white glare of the wall as though all th heantv of such a woman flowed i j --. o 1 afresh there to your sight. She may be vile; ay, but not to your sight till too late Whv is it that some men; never love so well as when they love I their own rum: 1 nat tne nearc wnicn is pure never makes theirs beat upon it with the rapture sin gives? Month by month 3our picture maj grow, and your passion grow with it fanned by her hand. She knows, that never would a man think her an earthly saint, and fancy her beauty like one who gives his soul for the price of success. You have 3'our paradise: 3'oa are drunk; you think that even she, who in her superb arrog.mce, thought she was matchless and death less. Then comes your reward; when the picture is done, her fancy has changed. A light scorn, a careless laugh, a touch of her fan on your cheek; could you not understand? Were you still such a child? Must -ou be broken more harshly in, to learn to give place? That is all ! and at last her lackey push you away with his wand from her urates. You ; had not learned what a great ladv's illicit caprices meant; you were st'U but a boy ! she had killed you; she j had struck our genius dead; she had j mdc earth your hell what 01 ihat? She has her beautr eternal in the picture she yearned for, and then laughs and sneers at vonr f.ite. What a wretched life you lead she cares not ! Then you have reaped the reward of your own folly, and r gret that the deceiving eyes of such a fair young lass ever met yours, and pierced cupid's dans through your very soul. Beware of the female sex! Their eyes are as guileful as the eves of a tigress, their voices as piercing as the shriek's of a hooting ovv). You may seek 10 find out one't disposition; you may soil her silk dress, accidentally pretended, b;t purposely; of course you begin to apologize; she says: ;It doesn'r matter,'' doesn't seem to get offended at all, and just so soon as you leave she will run up stairs and bury her teeth in the bed-post so m d ! The ma3r seem as lovable and meek as a : it tie pet lamb, and yet, be as rave ning wolves. Some lads see a beau tiful face with lovely eyes and sweet smiles, and never thinking of tie momentary fancies, allow themselves to fall in love with those faces, and never stopping to think or consider what is in the hearts of such women; un il their love has increased to that extent, that thev can see no error whatever. Too late to grieve af'er the milk is spilled ! His voice has still its old sweetness, his manner still its old grace, and added to these are a grave earnestness and a natural eloquence, that the darkness of his own fortunes and the sympathies with others that pain had awakened and brought to him. He wholly forgets their respective station: and only remembers that for another time in so many years, he h s the charm of converse with a woman of high breeding, of inexpressible beaut' and of keen and delicate intuition. Generally, in sach cases, when you are united in the holy bonds of mat rimony, then, and not till then, do 3-ou find that j'our taste are entirely antagonized, and vou are not suited for each other's companion. Too late ! ladies, don't understand me to mean that tbere are no excep tions to the most of these rules. Young men take warning; thoroughly j investigate the matter, and seek to find ont the character and disposition of the one whom you are seeking for vour companion, lest you plunge into a futhomles .e.i. there to il and lament youx otvn choice. Yum rsrniK ladies, if I have deviated Ironi the truth in a single particular yuu will ple.se ecu,e me. Years Truly. j B. L. Flynx. Subscribe to this paper. $1.50 per year in advance.
