Modern Courtship. "Exquisite Angelina May, Refulgent queen of night, Permit thy victim here to kneel, And from thine eyes of azure steal One ray of blessed light; Oh say, shall sweet connubial bliss, Angel of life, be ours! And shall we dwell, like turtle doves. In Cupid's fairy bowers ? Yet does thy proud papa look stern, And call me brain loss fool! He dreams not a ladder, love, Suspended from the room above, Could brave parental rule ; Then grant me, Angelina, dear, The bliss for which I sigh. Nor leave thy trembling victim hero To pine, to sink, to oie." Oh, George Augustus Fitzgreene Brown, Your title I admire; For this I brave tho dnily frown, And soek the bitter hate to drown, Of my indignant sire ; For this I mope, refuse to cat, And faint full twice a day, That Pa may hear the neighbors cry, ' Poor Angelina May.'" Yet all I do is done in vain, The salts as wasted quite, And thus in dread suspense I sit, And rack my brain, and tax iny wit, From early morn till night But now I'm all your own, iny lovo, mv oeorge augustus Brown, Yet bo a little careful when You take the ladder down." Song. I digs, I hoes, I ploughs, I mows, I gets up wood for winter, 1 reaps, I sows, And taters grows, And for all I knows, I'm indebted to the printer. I do suppose, All knowledge flows, Right from the printing press ; So off I goes In these 'ere clo's, And settles up?I guess. W\i anil Junior. Yankee Inquisitivenes*.

Before him occupying the entire seat, sat a lady dressed in deep black; and after shifting his position several times, and manoeuvering to get an opportunity to look at liei in the face, he at length caught her eye He noded familiarly to her, and asked with a nasal twang utterly incapable o being imitated. "In affliction ?" "Yes, sir," replied the lady. "Pa-rents?father or mother?" "No, sir." "Child, perhaps ? bov or gal ?" "No, sir?not a child. I have no chil dren." "Husband ?" "Yes." " Hem: cholery ? a trading-man ma} be?" "My husband was a sea-faring man? the captain of a vessel, lie didn't die o the cholera; he was drowned." "O, drown-ed, eh?" pursued the inquisi tor, hesitating for an instant. "Save hit ehist f" he asked. "Yes, the vessel was saved, and my bus band's effects." "Was they?" asked the Yankee, hk eyes brightened up. "Pious man ?" ho continued. "He was ; a member of the Methodist church." The next question was a little delayed ; but it came. "Don't you think you've great cause to be thankful that he was a pious man, and saved h:s chint ?" "I do," said the widow, abrupty, turning her head to look out of the car window. The indefatigable "pump" changed hu position, held the widow by his "glittering eye" once more, and propounded one mor< query, in a lower tone, with his head slightly inclined forward over the back 01 the seat. " Was you caTlating to get marriea "Sir!" said the widow, indignantly, "you are impertinent!" And she left her neat, and took another on the opposite side of the car. " 'Pears to be a little huffy!" said the bore, turning to our narator, behind him. "She needn't be mad; I didn't want to iiuii her fcelin'ii.

Seeing death approach, it spite of the Physician's skill, he bethought hun of a vow ; so he solemnly promised that if God would restore him to health he, on his part, on his recovery, would sell a certain fat beast in his stall, and devote the proceeds to the Lord.

The butchers laughed at him ; they tho't he was ioking. However, as he gravely persisted that he was in earnest, one of them, taking him at his word, put down two shillings for the ox. M Softly my good friend," rejoined the seller, " I have made a row not to sell the ox without the cock; y<m must buy both or be oontent with neither."

The poor doctor insisted upon \ going and the party accompanied him to ( the stable, to assist him to mount his horse, which they at length did with his face to the animal's tail. "Hallo," said the doctor, after feeling for the reins. "I am inside ou t on my horse, or face behind, I don't know which ^ ?something wrong, anyhow." i "So you are," exclaimed one of the i wags, 44 just get off doctor, and we will * put you on right." < "Get off!" hiccupped the doctor, "no * you don't.

Ohio, giving the following simple method " of preventing the practice of this perncious w trick. Take a forked slick about two feet long, varying a little according to the size of the horse, tie the ends of the fork ; firmly to each end of the bridle bit, and ' ^ the other end of the stick to the lower end " >n of the collar^o as to keep the head up, and a j prevent his kicking.

And when, in a moral ' point of riew, We behold and contemplate ? it, we cannot fail to l>e impressed witli it* ennobling nature, and it* exalted sphere of action. t- But let us, for a moment, contraet this ' te species of hope with that of another char- * a; acter. Let u? examine the vnat difference 1 h between the hope of immortality, And the 1 x hope of eueoena in the present world. In '' w the one we behold an immortal spark, a " n never dying flame, which illuminates the 1 a Christian's pathway in this present world, ' Y, and at the same time revealing, in per- * ie spective glory and full fruition a brighter ' h mkI more glorious one. The man of the v n world looks for the accomplishment of his * ir hopes, no farther than the mere beggarly r o visionary things of earth. He imagines 1 ? um on out nm mm wow encircled with * e the laurel wreath, or the chapleta of fame, e and hie name to dwell upon the lipe of I ri men for a few brief momenta, and to be ^ II borne away into oblivion by the next (rale c p that sweeps by, or if he can accumulate e the glittering treasure of earth, if he can . a raise himself a mootiiflertt of gold, that hia ^ e grandest anticipations are attained, that * 9 the ultimatum of hie hopes and wishes is f accomplished. But alas! he climbe from hill to hill, higher and higher, nnd is still ? hired oft by phantoms, still mocked ami eluded by mere golden shadows. And U| ius a lifetime is spent clutching and gras- " ihg at these vain delusions, until sudden- = r he totters and sinks into the grave, his isions fled, his hopes destroyed?and in 10 cold charnel houso no ray of hope ilimines-?it is starless, rnyless. llis liojws rere limited to the vngaries and follies of short life, niero fading, dying enil>ers, rhicli flickered and expired with his brief AlSll'IICl'i Hope is the life and energy of the hu- *n* lan mind. It is that nil inspiring, everroinpting passion, without which Man's t|lc fe would indeed be gloomy and drear.? 0ir ixtinguish this vital spark, and you leave IJii im a mere inert mass, without action or car ower to accomplish. It naturally assim- J'*1' ates with itself an object of attainment; |C8 ut when its life is destroyed or its pow- j, rs benumbed, then we wander and grope ur way, veiled in gloom and black des- eJ? air; and it is seldom we find any one. To owever despondent, however sunk he Fo lay l?o in degrcdation and infamy, but ass hat there still lingers within his bosom a n * oj)f, and if, perchance, we do find such an nn< ne, we are almost sure to discover that j,"( is reason has fled with his hope, that ho jor i a poor, helpless, perhaps raging maniac, a Therefore, we can well imagine the woe. Sh lie terror, the despair, that gathers around Kii he man who, having .thus limited his *<? opes, and having exhausted and consum- ^r d them to their utmost extension while a their earthly enjoyment, finds himself ij>on a death-bed without a single ray to \ >rigliteti his dying momei ts and to cheer al? rim in the measureless depths of eternity. nn< hit let us carry our imaginations farther, Itr< nd view him writhing and struggling in lie " Regions of Black Despair," buried eneatli its scorching lava, and as the endMS ages roll on in their ceaseless flight, '''J inking deeper into the very core of hell, j railed in and excluded from a single ray > if hope?forever lost and ruined ! The (ju ;enial rays of this glorious luminary can tin iv-?vi jmciw uie juiiuiiiuuine wans awl tlio wi tcninl gloom that hovers over and en- *ni ompasscs the bottomless pit. Such is the "PI ennination of earthly hopes. j'" Hope in its pure and exalted state is rj leaven-born. It is one of those celosial virtues which cannot be contin- tin d to the narrow limits of the lower world, zoi ut expands and grasps eternity in its fru- Ida Lion ; and it is so constitute*! that altho' oul nan may endeavor to corrupt and dcgcnrate it within an earthly compass, and 11 nay fancy at times that he has attained I 1" t, yet it will still soar, still brighten before lis imagination, still render him the more II nsntiate. The Christian's hope is founded ii|?on a nn foundation, which cannot he overtimed by the storms and adversities of ^1 his world; hut having earth for its hase, I J . rears itself, a proud monument into the s?>s cavcns, its lofty apex sublimely towering j the l?ove the mists and clouds of earth, and j ab effecting a thousand glad beams of divine tav ffulgenee. an* Although lie may feel its joyous fervor aec lowing within his heart, yet there is a i arr ertain restlessness or happy impatience, I oft diicli tells him that its accomplishment i not attainable in this world, but that it 1 rill Ik; swallowed up and resolved in the ;h?rie? of a brighter sphere. It associates ' rith itself a reward far more precious than n earthly palm. And oil ! when it is (A night and clear, how it soars far away W? n*l bathes its pinions in the regions of I *1 ternal Light! How, with buoyant wing j In L leaves the dark visions of earth, ami an< lovers, in sweet anticipation around the j t'ir leaveniy courts. ! K<'r As soon as the heart is regenerated its ' pa> lawning begins, and it sheds a halo of! b*d iglit around the Christian's pathway, re- In ' ealing to liim the hidden precipices, and angerous obstructions with which lie has 1 ontinually to contend. IIow inestimable, ~ * lien is the gift! What a priceless Ixxui ostowod by Heaven is this anchor upon ' diich the tempest-tossed soul may repose.

And thus w.> might con inue expatiating and enlarging upon the oautios and pleasures of hope until we .. ind prolonged these reflections to a great ' xtent, hut to lie brief, let us draw a few 0011olitory, and we may hope, useful inferen- A > es from its consideration. Doubtless, every Christian experiences, ^ a ore, or less, the happy hojie of a hlissiil immortality; and when thus cheered I nwnrd by this divine spark implanted in ^ lis bosom, lie feels that the combined tyn lowers of evil cannot move him, but strug- | |,ot ;ling with the most dangerous enemies ? >f suf lis soul, he comes off more than conquer- or | r, through the atonement of a crucified the todeeiner.
