THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE G, 1800. LETTICE WHITE. BY JEAN IHOM.OW. My neighbor White; we met to day, Jib slwavs bad a oheerful way, An it be breather! at east; Wy neighbor White lives flown the glade, And I live talcrher. In the shade Of my old walnut trees. Bo many lnda and la"e amall, To feed them all, to clolhe thorn all, Must surely tax his wit: T gee his thatch when I look out, His branching roues creep about, And vines halt smother it. Three white-haired urchins climb his eaves, And little watch-fires heap with leaves, And milky nlberts hoard; And there his oldest daughter stands With downoaat eye1, and skilful hands Beloro her ironing board. She comforts all her mother's days, And with her sweet, obedient ways She makes ber labor light; So sweet to hear, so lair to see I Oh, she is so murh too p"od lor me, That lovely Lettice White 1 'Tis hard to feel oneself a fool ! Wilb that same lass I went to school, I then was iireat and wife; She read upon an easier book, And I 1 never cured to look Jnto her sky-blue eyes. And now I know they must be there, Sweet eyes, behind those lashes lair, That will not raise their rim; If maids be ehy, ho cures who can; Hut it' a man be shy a man Why then the worse lor him 1 My mother cries, "For such a lad A wife Is easy to be had, And always to be found; A finer scholar scarce can be, And for a loot and leg," says she, "lie beats the country round. 'My handsome boy must stoop his head, To clear her door, whom he would wed;" Weak praise, but fondly sun? I "0 mother, scholars sometimes fail And what can foot and leg avull, Tj htm that wants a tongue 1" When by her ironing-board I sit, Her little kisters round me flit, And bring me forth their store; Dark cluster giapes of duty blue, And small sweet apples, bright ot hue, And crimson to the core. But she abidcth silent, fair; All shaded by her flaxen hair, The blushes come, and go; I look, and I no more can speak Than the red sun that on her cneck Smiles as he lieth low. Sometimes the roses by the latch, Or scarlet vine-leaves from her thatch, Come sailing down like birds; When Irom their drifts her board I clear .She thanks me, but I scarce can hear The shjly utt red words. Oft have I wooed sweet Lettice White, By da light, and by candle-light When we two were apart. Some better day. come on apace, And let me tell her face to face "Maiden, thou hast my heart !" How gently rock you poplars high, Against the reach of primrose sky, With heaven's pale candles stored ! She sees them ail, sweet Lettice White; I'll e'en go sit again to-night Besid c her ironing-board ! Mr. Diflident's Speech at a Presentation (Supper. Ladies and eentlemne I beer pardon.

(The speaker, on resuming his seat, was rewarded with several rounds of applause.) Things to Think Of. Tho number of lan- guupt'S okon is 30C4. The number of Dion is about equal to the number of women. The Rvprnui' ot human life is 33 venra. One-auarter dio belore the age of 7. One-half before tho ge of 17. To ever.? 1000 persons one only reaches 100 years. To every 100 only 0 reach 65 years; and not more than 1 In 600 reaches the ace of 8(1 years. There are on arth 1,000,000,000 of inhabitants. Of these 33,333,333 die every year, 7780 every hour, and 60 every minute or 1 lor every second. Those losses are about bSlanced by an eaual number ol births. I he married are lonrvr lived tian the einale: and above all, tho!-e who observe a sober and industrious conduct. Tall men live longer than short ones. Women have more chances of lile previous to the as;e of tilt y years than men, but lower alter, rue number ot marriaces is in pro portion of 75 to 100. M amuses are more fre quent alter the equinoxes thut i, during the mouths of Juiie and December. Those born in pprinir are eenerally more robust than others. Births anil deaths are more frequent by nipht than ty day. Mimoerot men cupaole ot bear- ins arms is calculated at one-lounu ol the popu lation. Imtrisonment for Debt i France. A point ot law relating to imprisonment lor debt, of some consequence to loreijmers, and not Rene rally known, has been settled by the Civil Tri bunal of the Seine. A nborl time since M. fcchuvllmann, a merchant residing In Paris, arrested a Bavarian on the srround that he was about to leave the country without paying his debts. The latter disputed the legality ot the arrest, on tho plea that his creditor is a Bava rian, and therefore not entitled to avail himself of the privilege conferred on creditors by the law ot MM. The deiendant commenced pro- r.s,n1 f .1 rva flKot .a ont .1 . i i ? th n 1 frn.lt ua I1l.ir.u1 vicuiupv ii.nv, lu rt, piuu niw niibs, (10 .uveal. and, secondly, to recover damages tor illegal airect. lor. wu'en he claimed 20,ouot. ine cre ditor, however, nleaded that he had been authorized by an imperial decree to establish his domicile in France, and that consequently he enioyed all tne civil ngiits ol a trench citizen. The Court adopted tins view of the case, con tinued tho arrest, and condemned the prisoner lij costs. Another Experiment in Aerial NAvioAnoN. The aocension of a balloon-ship called the 'EfDerance" was to have taken place at the Hotel des Invalides, Paris, oa the loth ultimo, hut treat difficult was experienced by the in ventor, M. Delamarne, in adjusting the screws, helm, sails, etc. The Emoeror. who happened to he drivlnc out and saw tho crowd, Went to the tpot to inspect the apparatus, and eonvrrued some time with the inventor, but at last, not nerceivtnir anv creat Drobability of an ascen sion, took his departure. The crowd then became impatient, and broke through the bar riers. At a quarter past 7 in car was attaenca, mid the whole ascended some few yards from thn eroiind. and moved in the direction of the Invalides; but the balloon being either damaged bv the uiseliiuer? or overweighted, burst, and lrll Ik tivily to toe around.
