THE DAILY ISTE WS. A Perfect Slat eli. TLe.]rwe:s dingle :n ber eirs. Her waist is but a slender sy-ati : And as ?he swings al'?ntr. ?he say?, 'Tua going to catch a dandy man." Hi? hit i* in the latest style. He ton s his cane with dainty hold ; ?nd as he struts about, he say?, ..I'm going to wed a :ool tor gold." They come together at the ball. They dance and jig, and waltz and whirl; Her chess is fine, "demcitien foine," His purse is his hair in curl. He i? "so nice," she is "BO rich." He lacks for cents, sb? lacks for brains; He flatters her, she dazzlet him. They call each other "pretty names." With gouty curse, papa says "yes-," Mamma says naught, mamma is dead : His debts ar? large, her purse i s deep, The lop ai.d lool together wed. A marriage of "convenience" quite, A very recherche affair: "It's.inst the thing," hie friends aver, "It's just the thing," her friends declare. They bve "up town," in free stone front. Tue halls are grand, the rooms are high; The beau mr>n<!r from th er coaches trip, And enter with an envious sigh. They do not love, they do not hate. Their only bends are those of law: They frequent operas and plays, And scorn the "dirty rabble, 2Wh!" He held the cards, sbe held the stake, Ihe lead was brass, the trump was gold ; A perfect match, an even pair, For he was bought, and she was sold. _(tflmmcrrial. The Charleston Cotton Market.
