TO A MOTH.
Alas! little moth,
I am loth
To let such an atom as you
Raise my wrath,
Little moth;
But pmy, ,
Just say,
Why you nibble my very best blue ?
Where you come froin's at pu.w.le to me;
What use in the world exo you be,
Except, as I state,
Folks to aggravate.
And you know the assertion is true;
Formy wife, who's as mild
As a child, •
Comes to me with a wo-begone face;
You tip it
Her tippet,
And not it,
Until the thing is quite a disgrace.
Then into our coffers you pop,
And stop.
Unseen with your gimlet nose,
Like a sleeve,
As I live,
Or a cullender tneking the clothes.
Then her very best chinchilla boa,
By which she sets very greet inks,
Flies in bits. when she goes in the air,
Quite ruimd, fur vou have been there.
1V hat, tile deuce,
What's the use •
Of those coats or those breeches to you?
Beware, if I catch you,
I'll match you,
And preciously double-tnill you.
Why not fly in tiro sunshine and light,
You hove wino, why then surely you inigtif,
And revel 'midst flowers
For Word,
With much more ecstatic delight ?
Why not live as an insect should do
In the cup of a violet blue?
Or take a short ride,
On the tide
Of a stream in some dark leafy wood?
Just try it for once,
Ifyou're not a dunce,
And you'll find it will do your health good;
Or dance with the gents in the ring,
To the music in the twilight they sing,
And without aspersion,
Seek other diversion,.
And don't at man take such a fling:
But I've made up my mind, so that's flat,
130 it coat, breeches, fur, or a hat,
Any more
That you bore,
11l take you someday by surprise;
I'll so poppet:your nob,
That I'll finish your job,
And you'll die as a thief ever dies.

A LITTLE LOVE AFFAIR.
BY WALTER GAY.
lie was a daguerreotypist. Ile said "he
could buff a plate, and take a picture 83 well as
the next man." And who doubted him ?
Not the next man," surely, for he happened to
be a book-seller, and did'nt understand any•
thing at all about daguerrutyping.
"Well our duguerrentypist was a jovial,
hearty, good-looking fellow ; and withal a real
laved nis profession as an art, and
not merely as a mechanical business. 1-le wua
pleased with the poe.ty of his occupation, and
sought to ennoble it, by connecting with it eve.
ry thing that was beautiful in theory and ex•
cellent in practice. And whenever he saw a
goad loan, he would call him a daguerreotype

reotypist wits fond of the ladle,. and experien
c'el great delight in taking their ;denims;
'for," he said, "they always made stick 'favor
able impressions." Ho never yet haul taken
nod impertbet 'likeness' of a beautiful woman.
And while one of the 'fbir sea,' was seated he
fore the 'Camera,' our dagui•rreotypist would
peep through at her, a much longer time than
was necessary to arrange the 'apparatus:—
"He did this," he said, "so as to be certain of
a good impression." Then he was such an en
thusinstic chap, always fancied he saw a legion
of daguerreotypes of himself; dancing in every
woman's eyes he chanced to look into.
Our daguerreatypist was called John Coop
er, by his father; by his mother; Mr.
Cooper, by his debtors; and Jack by Ms friends.
The ladies called him all sorts of sweet names,
and most prominent of which was that of 'the
dearest creature in the world.'
Now one of Jack's female friends was nun•
ed Caroline Dormilly, and Jack had known
her ever since she was a little girl. Of course
their long acquaintanceship had made them
warm friends. "lie liked her," he said, "very
much, but it could not be said of him that he
loved her, according to the general meaning of
that term-8111M had he concluded to marry
her, for many reasons—the chief one was, be
cause she was engaged to be married to Eu
gene Chewsong," who was called a very hand
some young man, and certainly was very to
mantic and very sentimental.
Caroline was very much attached to Eugene,
because her disposition sus similarly roman
tic, and there was no one she knew who could
talk about the stars in such languishing strains
as "her dear Eugene." He felt very happy
in his love, and in hope of his union with Caro.
line being speedily consummated. And but
out thing troubled bin. ; and that one thing
was our friend, Jack Cooper.
You see, Jack used to cull upon Caroline
and her parents very often; mid being welcom•
ed as a brother by Carry, and us a son by the
old folks, he used to be very intimate and much
at home. •

Now, altho' this was all right enough. yet
Eugene grew jealous, as all romantic young
men do, when they get an uppurtudity, fur they
seem to think that nu courtship can he perti2ct
without a tinge of jealousy or misfortune.
So one evening Carry gave a large party, to
which the daguerreutypist and Eugene were of
course invited.
We don't intend to give a long tedious de•
seriptiun of the Imrty, because it was not dif
ferent from other• parties. The little children
were assembled, us is custutnary, in an upper
room, and they were singing—
" Oats, peas, beans and barley grows,"
while down stairs there was the usual congre.
widen of women dressed in white, and women
dressea in black, pretty women and ugly wo•
mep, young men and grandfathers, men with
bald heads, and men whose heads never be.wl
ed.
An awkward reserve prevailed, as usual on
all occasions of the kind, in their commence
ment. One young man ventures to say to a
lady, that it's 'very cold'—to which she re
plies 'yeth thir'—and then some one else asks
her is she is fond of music, and again she says
'yeth thir.'
And thus a chilly exclusiveness is maintain
ed until the lady of the house brings in a large
dinner plate and whirls it readily round on the
floor, when nn- old gentleman rushes to catch
it before it falls, and a young ge n tleman does
the same; when they both get confused, and
entangling their legs, both fall to the fluor,
causing a hearty laugh, and the commence
ment of the evening's amusement.
Then came the usual games of 'pawn, 'fox
and geese,' the., the., in one of which persons
are selected in turn, to stand outside the par
lor door, in the cold, and wait for somebody to
come and kiss them—and some facetious young
lady, when it comes her turn, will take great
pains to name the handsomest gentleman in
the room as the person she would like to kiss ;
and when he comes out of the parlor she'll
scream very prettily, and feign to run away
from him in fear, (hoping he will follow her,)
and then feels much vexed when she finds the
handsome gentleman is not at all disputed to
run after her; but, OH the contrary, very coolly
walks buck into the parlor without kissing her.
She is so much annoyed at this, that during
the evening she is sure to exclaim that she
"don't think Mr. So and So," (the handsome
gent) "at all good looking."
It happened that while they were playing
one of these games, Carry's turn came to stand
outside the parlor door and be kissed.
It occured in this way. Mr. Chewsong had
been called out by some young lady, and hav
ing received the usual dose of lip nectar. he
called fur his darling Carry, and when she
came out he kissed her, "as in duty bound you
know ;" but then he told her that he should'itt
like to have her kissed by anybody else, and
ventured to recommend that she should either
call for hint or for some very aged gentleman.
So he went back into the parlor, walking
through it quickly, until he came to the other
door, which he carefully opened, and then
peeped out to see who Carry had chosen. And
who had she chosen ? NVlty, our friend Jack
Cooper, the daguerreotypist. there he
was kissing Carry as affectionate as you please.
Here was a breeze. Whew I It was too
much for Chewsong. He couldn't stand it.—
He thought of doing something desperate on
the spot; but restraining himself, he shortly
alter took his hat, and iu his anger, went
hemp.
"Vengeance on tho dagnerreotypist I" wits
about all Eugene could say, but he thought a
great deul that was very bitter and malicious.
Ho looked very sour, and scowled at every
man l , e tint. nod wished the lump posts were
daguerreutypist', that he alight annihilate
them.
So you may know how he felt when he reach
ed home. Nut at all agreeable.

CHAPTER 11.
Our eguerreotn,ist had been kissed. It
was a sweet kiss; not an ordinary one, but a
kiss that took all the juice out of his lips.
He felt rather good. He guessed he hadn't
felt so good for some time. So he went to his
room in a much ditferent mood than that in
which we left EtTene. And as prepared to re•
tire, he took particular care to take off his shoes
before he took off his pantaloons. Let every
emu follow his example in this respect,for it is
an important ;Joint, and should not be alighted.
As Jack Cooper was a bachelor, ho lived as
many bachelors do—he had a room to lodge in,
and usually took his meals at the restaurants—
but frequently the family down stairs used to
invite Jack to breakfast with them, and dine
or sup—or would often send hint up something
in the shape of hot biscuit, or a plate of prin.
cakes, in the morning before he went out.—
Therctore, Jack lived very comfortable, and as
he was very sociable, all the people around
him caught the infection, and became equally
lively and friendly. And if everybody would
follow Jack Cooper's example, nod act like
congenial human beings, instead of cold mar
ble statutes, we should have more happill ,
and 1.5 biekerin:w and ron,etti.4l
On the next morning, Jack wus up
and looked very bright, and mist have
very good, ler he whistled gaily, looked in the
glass pretty often, .huunned bits of opera tunes,
and altoge.her was very much contented with
himself, and all the rest of the world—especial.
ly the Indies.
He was just the sort of a tnen that we
should wish to take our daguerreotype.
Jack had not more than finished drossinl.
when the servant girl tapped at his room door;
and when he told her to mine in, she asked
hint, woo ci he have some breakfast? and told
him ;MI tiettlarly that misses sent her compli
ments. But he had fin! an heartily nil his last
night's kiss, that he tot appetite for material
food, and returned his eumpliumms to the mis
sus, cud begged leave to any Ito would only
take a cup of entree.
Su when Mary went to get the coffee, our
friend conceived a villainous notion tit' trying
the diff.frence in kisses from different females,
for he thought if they were equal to the kiss
he received the night before, he should like
nothing better than to be kissed continually.
Old Mrs. Cooper used to soy, that, .Juntty

He respected her—but lie didn't want to mar
ry her. He'd never thought of such a thing.
Besides, how could it be possible fur him to
love her, mime she was engaged to he married
to another ? 0, it was absurd. Jack always
manned thus, whenever he thought of Carry's
projected marriage—and he always tried to
concieve himself that lie didn't care any inure
for Carry than for any other lady friends ; yet
the great goose had bees in love with her all
the time.
Presently the girl Mary returned, bringing
a cup of coffee ; and when she handed it to
Jack, with a curtest, what does ho do but kiss
her! 0, the wretch! Well, Mary was so over
come with delight, that she stood still for a
moment, seemingly wondering whether she was
in heaven or on earth; and when she came to
her senses, she ran out of the room laughing,
and appearing very well pleased. So much for
a kiss. Jack now said he'd get married, any.
way. He vowed he would. And while he was
thinking of the comforts of married life, he
heard a rap at the door. Who could it be ?
"Come in," said Jack. A redier pretty thee
(Grecian) all covered with blushes peeped in,
anti a very nice sort of mouth said, kMisses

kissed it with great fervency. Then he held
it a little distance from him, mtd looked at it,
and kissed it over and over again. 0, ho was
full of delight. He must bare kissed it at
least a hundred times; but as he was going to
kiss it -far the hundred and first time, a sudden
change came over him—when, instead of kiss

and hrokb it all into Hoe pieces. Why did

At hali . pma twelve Oehler, one day, an in
tertnission for half an boor for dinner was
granted, with a strict 'injunction from the
judge that "all hands" must be back puma.
ally at one, to commence a new ease of lar
ceny.
The dinners that day were swallowed with
greater rapidity than usual, and U 8 the stock
struck one, the officers of the law rushed into
the court like chickens into a meal trough.
11hile they were eating their dinners, how
ever, a yining ratan inon the "Inintry," being
somewhat anxious to sec the manner in which
jnstiee was meted out, walked into the court
room, and, as he aftexivards expressed himself,
took a squint ;it all the seats, and seein' there
wasn't nobody in the nicest one, with a reline
all round it, thought he'd make sure on it 'fore
the fellers get hark fi•mn dinner."
In five minutes after the crowd entered the
room, the ledge rapped the deck with the butt
end of his jack•knife, and withh a di,,plifitd
frown, cried—
•'Sileucu'n the Court l"
"Silence'n the Court I" repeated the broad
shouldered constable, leaning on the railing in
front of his Honor, immediately resuming the
occupation of picking his teeth wit a pin.
"Silence'u the Court I" echoed the squeak
ing tones of a small, red •headed constable near
the door; and the latter speaker immediately
commenced elbowing the crowd, right and left,
to let them know that he was around I
"All ready P" says the Judge.
"All ready !" replied the attorney,
. -
"Command the prisoner to stand up 1" says
the Judge, 'while the indictment is being
ruud."
The broad shouldered constable now walked
up to the prisoner's box during the apparent
momentary absence of the sheriff, placed his
hand un the shoulder of the young man, and
exclaimed—
"Stand up!"
"What fur?" said the astonished young far•
To hear the charge read r exclaimed the
"Wall, I guess I kin hear what's goin' on

was the reply.
"Stand up!" roared the Judge, in a burst of
passion—ho had just bit his tongue while
picking his teeth ; "young man, stand up! or
the consequences be upon your own head."
'the victim came upon his feet as if under
the influence of a galvanic battery, and looked
around the court room, and noticing that all

The young 11111.11 ventured to look up, in hopes
to filet n sympathizing eye, but till were cold
mid ontriendly, and he again gazed on the

"CI uilty or not guilty ?" again vociti.rated
the Judge, in a tone that plainly denominated
impatience to proceed with the case.
The broad shouldered constable, being roth.
