BE OFF WITH TOP now.
Bo off with you now—don’t I know
Thais it's only coioling you arc;
With "cheoks like llio rose's soft glow,
, Ami glances more bright than the star I'
'TU true that my waist is but small,
And my ringlets may curl liku (he vine;
But I'm not like on angel mail)
Nor am I the lean bit divine 1
Bo bo off with you now—don’t i see
You're deluding from oven until dawn 7
My step may liu hounding and free.
Uul. I'm not I n the least like n fawn!
But 'twos ever the method we know,
Since Adam in Eden began
That bosoms were sure lube snow,
And necks were of com sc, like the swan 1
Como, bo off with you now UN you learn
To woo Uko n plain-hearted youth •
Lot your mind, if you love mo, discern.
To win, you muni woo mo with truth !
I would rather—instead ofincse flowers,
In which you arc ever so rife—
That you promised to love me oil hours,
As long as each other had lift.

of six unruly boys. ‘Now I hovo something gentle

Vory lovely was the llltlo Cccilel bins hid her
mother’s soft h i*jl eye and waving auburn hair, and
her father’s Grecian profile. There was a wining
sweetness in her smile, and grace and poetry in
every motion. It was a pretty sight ! her gold ires
sob mingling with those silver locks, as she rested
hor bright head against the old man's check. Kv n
•the boys’ could harbor no anger at her quiet reign !
she wound herself quite as closely around their
hearts. Then it was a new tie lo bind the sundcied
husband and wife together. Snnolhing of the old.
bygone tenderness crept unconsciously into their

pressed her rapturously to the parental heart, lor.

Tutors and governesses without limit, went ond

Then—so many injunctions ! She ‘must not study
so much as lo spoil her fine eyes;’ she ‘must draw

THIS ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
dv J. n. A. bone.
Ho, Arlizans! lengthen ye out tho wire,
And plant (ho polo deep in tho ground,
For a highway on which tho electric fire
May traverse tho earth around;
On tho rocky bed of tho troubled sea,
O'er tho smiling fruitful land,
By the ciowdid mart and (ho lonely tree,
Place the slight but potent band.
The lightning which bluzcd in the ebon sky,
Was deemed as iho hand of God,
And iho trembling world al its sight would lie
In dread of the chastening rod.
The hand of God now rests on the wire.
And wields it as Hwero a pen,
Tracing in words of mystic fire
A lesson of truth to men.
Raizing the taws which say that man
Is a serf to his brother clay ;
Telling, in spile of (ho tyrant's bane,
Of the dawn of a bolter day ;
Scorching, like slender threads of flax,
The tollers that bind men down;
Melting away, like simmering wax,
The despot’s throne and crown.
Back, Superstition—the Hashing light
Will injure thy owMiko eyes;
lienee, Ignorance, hence—-thy clouds of night
Must away, now (ho lightning flies.
Despots, beware ! nor trust thy power,
Though Ann us the mountain oak ;
Thv gun crowned wall and the massy lower
Must full ’ooulh the lightning stroke.
Then plant Iho polo nnd stretch the wire,
Till a belt goes round the earth,
And the record be triced, jn electric fire,
Of a free world's glorious birth ;
Treaties awhile may kingdoms bind,
And war join clan to clan.
But the wire shall twine round the human mind,
Joining man lo lua brother man.

The following paragraph is published in a French i
paper, ihe Journal des Vosges: |
A few days since, a young girl residing near
Charmes, Vosges, on reluming from Nancy, where :
she had been to receive 300 francs which had been
bequeathed to her by a relative, was overtaken on
the road by a young man and a girl, who full into
conversation with her. She had placed her mon-,
ey in a hand-basket, and as the young man ob-I
! served that she had frequently transferred it, on'
i account of its weight, from one hand to the other, 1
ho offered to carry it for her, which was accepted.,
1 The young roan at the same time thrust into it
j some things of his own, and amongst the rest his!
papers. On reaching Crovechampi they all en
tered into a public house to lake some refresh
|mcnl, and the young woman, receiving the basket
from her male companion, placed it on the table
1 by her side. I
1 The mistress of tbo house, In serving them,
'struck against the basket, which gave out n me-'
] lallic sound. She asked what the basket contain-,
r*d, and was informed, three hundred francs bo
longing to the young woman. The plan of the
mistress of the house was, without doubt, formed
instantaneously, for, making a sign to the girl to
follow her out, she said to her when in the pass
age, “You aro not aware with whom you have
been walking: that young man is a very bad char
acter. Do not think of departing with him.”
“Who; am 1 to do, then V' said the girl.
“Take your basket and go down to the cellar,
where you will find my husband. You can re
main there till the others have gone.”
The young woman aclcd as iho other rccorn
mended, and when iho iravellcrs were about lo
depart they inquired for iheir companion.
"She has gone on before you,” said the woman,
"you will overtake her.”
The young man urged the girl who was with
him lo make all the haste she could, ns ho wanted
lo recover his papers. After walking until laic

however, the geiid’unncs agreed lo accompany the

power of this grand display, institutions which have

owing forth a national destiny, which Iho wildest
