Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered
weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of for
gotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there
came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my
chamber door.
"'TM some visitor," muttered,"tapping at my
chamber door—
Only this, and nothing more."
Poa'a "Ravin."
As one night I sat in sorrtrkr,.wishing it would
soon be morrow,
Reading about the mumps and ear-aohe iu Old
works of physic lore,
While with pain I was scowling," suddenly
there came 'a growling,
And full soon a louder hoyling = howllng.at
our entry door.
"'Tis some cursed dog," I muttered, "growl
ing at our entry doer—
, 'Some big our I stoned of yore."
As the °Melo the ]tours did number, passing
- time brought me no slumber,
And each pang of gland and inusole, made me
- dance across the floor;
Eagerly I urged my miucl out, 4 ottinly I had
tried.to find out
From my books some soothing pelltioe—poul
lice for an aching gland :
.Oh, the mumps! and oh, the earache 1 who the
devil eon withstand
With_ such howling at your door ?
But the Canine still kept growling—louder,
louder, Loin,En howling,
Oh, my poor heed ! I was near deed ! more
nervous was I than before;
So, that then, to still the beating of my heart;
I kept repeating,
"'Tic come terrier out a rotting—ratting
bur cellar floor,
Or perhaps line treed a tom-cat on th . o linden .
near our door,
, Only this, and nothing more•"
Presently—nor was 't surprising—l did feel my
linger rising,
And I said, "who's afraid, I will make that
nine fly the door ;"
But pity mc, dear friends; I beg, the mad our
seized me by the leg,
When ho Worried— fiercely worried, !till he .
threw me on the -floor, - _
Where, in rage, we did, engage, until my old
trowsers tore,.
Making . 4 der mu rather sore. .
Chairs we rattled, as we battled round the en
try—on the-floor;
In the fight, out`went the light, and darkness
deep was brooding o'er ; -
Oh, the pangs! of his fangs, as he bit me,
very freely bringing gore,
I I licked him, and I kicked him, first be
hind and then hefore ;
But all was vain, he caught again, pulling me
towards the door,
Reader, , yet I never shore !
But jtist then I got him under, for, my friends,
I fought like thunder,
With a stick, I struck a lick, which joined him
to tl'e dead-dog corps ;
And I monleil him, as I hauled him by the tail
along the floor,
When, in joy, I said, "my boy, 'tis my opine
you'll howl no more.

'PIM MODEL HOUSEKEEPER.'
We find the following excellent observations
on the powers and duties of women, in a re
cent lecture delivered by Horace Mann
I must be permitted to say, that.there is One
department of labor,,both in the city-.and,in
the country, which woman seems 'disposed to
abandon, but which for her own honor and
the progress of civilization, sne ought always
to fill. The topic is homely, but whatever
pertains to home should be delightful. Every
woman should be a good housekeeper. A well
ordered house is worthy the dignity of being
compar_e_ilwell-ordereil State. , But for
perfect housekeeping, as for
s perfect general
strip, one must have seen, service in the
subordinate
. ratilts. In the. present:state of
society, we geed not go far to find many a man
who would give all The waltzes and polkas that
a metrician genius over invented, and throw
all new-fangled flourishes upon pieno and
guitar into the bargain, for healthful and goil
breakfasts, and for dinner somewhere within

Ben Jonsing's Description of a IValtz.
When we got into the place, we found a great
largo room, as big as a meetite_house„lighted.
up with smashin' big lamps, covered all over
with glass hangings. The ladies looked as nice
as little angels, their faces as white as if they
dipped them into a flour,:htkrel ; such red
citeeks I haint seen in all Sleopy,flollow ; their
arms all covered with gold bands, chains, and
shiny beads; such lips you never did Eiee—they
looked "come kiss me all over;" their oyes
looked like diamonds; their waists drawn to
tho size of a pipe stem ; and made to look like
they were undergoing a regular cuttin•ib-two
operation by tylie a,: string tight round' 'one ;,
and their bosoms—:ob, Lowly! all covered up
in laces and muslins,' they rose, then fell, then
rose again, like—Oh ! I don't knot, what it woo
like, exceptin' the breathin' of a uc . syy white
gocigo,'Oliuoked in a tight bag, with its broat
just out I
After the gals and youngsters bad walked
round and round for a eonsiderable spell the
music struck up—and•such music! It WILE a
big horn. nail a little horn, a big flute; and a
little flute,-a big : fiddle and a little fiddle, and
such 'a squieakin', squalid, bellowin', gronin'
I never board before; it was like all the rate,
pigs, and frogs iu Christendom had concluded
to sing together. They called it • a German
Porker. I 'sposait was tootle by sora&of them
Cinbinnati Germans, in imitation of thotiqueal
in' at a pork packory, and I guess it was' a
pretty good imitation.
. So soon as the musio struck up, eoliths eight!
The fellers caught the gals right around the
waist with one hand, and pulled o them right
smack 'up in kiseen'• order, with the gels' bo
soms .tigin their bosoms, and the gals' chins'
t•cutin on the fellers' shoulders. At this the
gals begun to sorter jump and caper, like they
were agoin' to push .'em away; but the fellers
just caught hold.of the other hand and holdlt
off, and began to jump and caper too, just like

As gentle and true ns a dove:
To hisvvords of affection ele'd always reply

When the hour drew near for this swain to doe
part,
Be kissed her and Undo her good-night;
She Wised in return and thought it no harm,
But ma said she had not acted right.
" Then 'why - ; dear ma," sho exclaimed, "have
yon said•
This doctrine is holy and true:
To do unto all men, in every respect,
As you'd wish them to do Oath you ?"
"But if of my favors too lavish I've Veen,"
She said in half petulant sorrow,
"I'm sure that my love will with.pleasurs re

HOW I FELL IN LOVE, ANDAWHAT
BECAME OF IT,
The first time I emir Mrs:: Periwinkle was
when also was " sweet sixteen." was at a
party my sister gave to her schoolmates, and
Amelia Ann, for thafies the dear creature's
'name, was the divinity Of the evening. She
wore a blue dress-Ll' shall neverforget_ that
dress-which was But low in the neat, shoW
ing a pair of the whitest,, roundest and most
polished shoulders in the world ; and she bad
long, golden .ringlets that flowed down her
back—in short, I thought I had never seen
anything half' Bo angelic.
Perhaps she was as much Impressed by my
appearance; she .htta often Since told me sho
was; for she allowed me to dance with her
almost every Bet, said "yes" to everything I
riroliosed, and drank tt'glass of champagne at
supper, ht my urgeiit request, though insisting
that she had never done such a wicked thing
in herlife beforb. 'When Harry Hanson spoke
to heiand:.aeked her'to eat a philikena with
him, I felt as if I could have knocked him
down. Dear Meature, I heard her afterwards
refuse to let him see her home, and shall never
forget how choi)-fallen 'he looked, when Blis
said, with a toes of the head "no. thank you„
I'M-engaged."
It was I that escorted her to het' father's
door, and when she asked me in,.l didn't know
for a minute, whether I stood on my head or
foot. But I declined:pleading the 'late hour.
On my way home, I whistled, sung, and occa
sionally danced ; never Had I felt- so happy, It
seemed as if I could alin . Ciitltyr- - -"Otri-Amelia
Ann," I kept repeating, thinking what a pretty
name it was, and then,' would break out into
"Zip Coon," perhaps "Dan Tucker," till at.last
a watchman-tapping me on the shoulder; told
mo not to "cal them shines or he'd take me up
for being tipsy." Frightened half out of my
wits, I gave him a dollar, and had the satisfac
tion_ of hearing him growl out in return, that
ho saw I was a gentleman, "rich saved my
bacon."
I reached hunt) and began to undress, but
had to stop, with a stocking half off, to try and
recall Lori' Amelia Ann looked. I shut my
eyes and leaned back. dreaMingly In `my' chalt:;
to call 'up satisfactorily'the image of her plump
shoulders and
,e,funtl white arm. It

bitter cold night, but in spite of it ) I paused
In turning down the sheets, and when ono foot
was already raised - to get into bed for it

Was thinking of me at that moment; yes: sit
ting abstractedly before her chamber fire, all
in virgin white, blushing and ruminating.—
"All 1 dear Amelia Ann,",l ejaculated, olnsping
the air, and dropping the coyerlid, and in that
ocstacy I stood all the cold, which bit me like
a pair of nippers 'in ten thousand places at
once, and popped into the bed, and curling up
like a whiplash, repeated "my lovely Amelia
Ann," till, falling asleep, I dreamed of her all
night.
I called three times that week to see her,—
She played on the piano divinely, and sang like
St. Cecelia. Her "Last Rose of Summer" was
enchanting, better than Jenny Lind!s I thought.
I have never forgotten her two boisterous bro.
tilers, who used to talk aloud whileehe sang,,
and who, even when silent, never listened to
her. The rude boors I
The second week I knew Amelia Ann, I spent
every evening but one with her, and then she
had a headache, and could not see no body.—
!low I watched up and down, on the other side
of the way, looking up at the window which I
knew to be her's and where a light was Mimi
log Once or twice a shadow was reflected
on the curtain, and that was almost es good as
seeing her. "Dearest Amelia Ann;" I said, if
I could only have your headache for you.''
