' FLIRTING
A gentleman having been ceneufed bv
a lady for flirting, addreeeed her the fol*
lowing:
** Oh, could I but recall the day* of yore,
I would flirt! ah, nevermore!"
Haunted Bachelor.
Oh, could I but recall the hours.
The hours in flirting passed,
The faded joys like summer flowers,
Too fair and frail to last—
Could I forget the smiles, the tears.
The whispers, ami the sighs.
The ghosts ofhop«*e, the shades of fears.
That oft to mem’ry rise ;
And flee from them as flees the bird,
To some far distant sho’e,
1 do believe upon my word,
That I would flirt no more.
I’d fix my choice forever, or.
I’d live a “ crusty bachelor.”
For 1 am sick of valentines,
Of love-knots and bouquets,
Of albums, and their tender lines,
So prized in other days;—
I find, alas! ’t is folly now,
As once l did. to talk.
In raptures of a marble brow,
That, possibly, is chalk.
I’ve found that sentiment’s a farce,
To all but lovers green.
That angels after all are scarce.
Their visits far between.
From years’ experience I find,
This flirting but a bore,
And I have half made up my mind,
That I would flirt no more.
No more, like foolish butterfly,
From sweet to sweet to flutter by.
Oh, could I but erase each name,
From mem’ry’s tablet dark.
Of maid whom i have made aJtame,
When I was but a spark.
Could I forget each lovely form,
To which my knee has knelt,
Each whispered vow of love so warm,
That once l thought I felt;
Could I forget each hand I’ve pressed,
Each kiss behind the door,
I’d let some things forever rest,
And I would flirt no more.
And, deaf to love’s entrancing tone.
Like Barney, “ let the girls alone.”
HU E EYES.
BY CHARLES T. BROOKS.
Blue eyes are full of danger—
Beware their tender glow!
They’d leave thy heart a stranger
To peaceful hours below !
I warn you, men, give earnest heed.
Isitnot bright eyes youreivlit mislead
And when blue eyes your glances win:
lawk not too deep—too deep therein!
Blue eyes with soul are beaming.
They’ll look thee thro’ and thro’:
With light of love they’re streaming
So mile, and warm, and true.
And when mv heart is sore distressed,
And sorrow fills my lonely breast,
Let, then, blue eyes my glances w in—
What joy, what bliss I see therein !
Blue eyes from heaven are lighted
With holy, soul-born glow,
To cheer poor man benighted,
And charm him out of woe.
And when cold wintry clouds arise,
And shroud in gray the sunny skies,
Then let blue eyes my glances win—
I find my sky—my day therein!
BkaiW Labor.—To m«nv persona
it seems s wiuill thing to sit down and
prepare matter for the periodical press;
but let those unexperienced with the
pen, and whose brain* have never been
trained to systematic labor, attempt to
furnidi intellectual food and recreation
to their fellows and they will soon re
alize that mental labor is the most des
tructive to health of all other toil. Were
one to grub up the stumps out of the
earth, or sling the sledge hammer twelve
hours a day, he would l»e aide to stand
the drudgery with less injury to the
body and soul than half the number of
hours devoted to mental employment, in
jhe way of writing matter for the book
or newspaper press. Those pithy arti
cles which constantly appear in the pe
riodicals of the day, contain the very
essence of mind or thought, and such
literary gentlemen ns are the best at
itemizing are the very first whose con
stitutions are broken down.
Hf. Ready.—When you lie down at
night compose your spirit ns if you
were not to awake till the heavens he
no more. And when you wake in the
morning, consider that new day as the
last, and live accordingly. Sorely that
night cometh of which yon will never
see the morning, or that morning of
which you will never see the night;
but which of your mornings or nights
will he sneh, yon know not. Let the
mantle of worldly enjoyments hang
loos* about you that it may l>e easily
dropped when death comes to carry
you into another world. When the
corn is forsaking the ground it is ready
for the sickle; when the fruit is ripe, it
falls of the tree easily. So when a
Christian’s heart is truly weaned from
the world, he is prepared for death, and
it will he the more easy for him. A
heart disengaged from the world is a
heavenly one; and then we are ready
for a heaven, when our heart is there
fore before us.
A Quandary.—To sit on a sofa be
tween two pretty girls, one with blaek
eye*,'jet ringlets and rosy cheeks, the
other with soft blue eyes, sunny ring
lets and red cheeks and lips ; both
laughing at the same time. We know
u' “ more trying to one, unless
it is to have both arms in the dough
ami a flea up the i.g of your trowsers.
The hook case which the Queen n r
England is about to present tnthe Fm-
pernr of Austria, will cost •50,000.—
If she would give him the New Testa
ment, worth one dollar, and then give
him $49,999 to read it, there might he
some prospect of improvement in the
young rascal.—Boston Post.
Nothing was so much dreaded in
our schoolboy days as to be punished
hy sitting between two girls. Ah! the
force of education. In after y'enrs we
learned tn submit to such things with
out shedding a tear.
The real object of education is to
give children resources that will endure
as long h« life endures; habits that will
ameliorate, not destroy; that will ren
der sickness tolerable, solitude plea
sant, age venerable, life more dignified
and useful, and death less terrible.

Hungarian Liveries.—The luxury
which many of the Hungarians display-
in the liveries, or uniforms of their ser
vants, is far bey ond anything of which
we can form an idea. Almost every
gentleman has a hussar fully armed
and equipped as his valet de chnmhre,
and some have all their footmen in the
same dress. These uniforms are not
unfreqnently covered with gold and
silver lace. It is startling to a foreign
er to find himself served at table hy a
smart-looking hussar, Ire-whiskered and
Ire-spurred as fiercely as if he were
handling a sabre instead of presenting
a knife and fork.
Manners in Fresbuko, Hungary.
It is not an uncommon thing for a se

A Sister’s Value.—Have you a
sister? Then love and cherish her
w ith all that pure and holy friendship,
which renders a brother so worthy and
noble. Learn to appreciate her sweet
influence, as portrayed in the following
words:
He who has never known a sister’s
kind ministration, nor felt his heart
warming beneath her enduring smile
and love-beaming eye, has been unfor
tunate indeed. It is not to he won
dered at, if the fountains of (Hire fee
ing flow in his bosom hut sluggishly,
•r if the gentle emotions of his nature
lie lost in the sterner attributes of man
kind.
“That man has grown up among af
fectionate sifters,” I once heard a lady
of much observation and experience
remark.
“ And why do you think so,” said I.
“ Because of the rich development
of all the tender feelings of the heart.”
A sNter’s influence is felt in man
hood’s riper years; and the hcait of
him who has grown cold in chilly con
tact with the wot Id will warm and
tin ill with pure enjoyment as some ac
cident awakens within him the soft
tones, the glad melodies of his sister’s
voice; and he will turn from purposes
which n wrapped and false philosophy
had reasoned into expediency, and even
weep for the gentle influence which
moved him in earlier years.
Mrs. Partington.—“Seventy-five
cents per gal!” exclaimed Mrs. Par
tington, on looking over the price cur
rent. “ Why, bless me, what is the
world coming to when the gals are val
ued at seventy-five cents t” The old
lady pulled off her spectneles, threw
down her paper and went into a brown
study on the want of a proper appre
ciation of the true value of the femi
nine gender.
Live for Something.—“Thou-
sands of men.” says Chalmers, “ breathe
move, attd live—pass off the stage of
life, and are heard of no more—Why?
they do not partake of the good in the

An orator holding forth in favor of
woman concluded thus; “O, my hear
er?, depend upon it, nothing beats a
good wife.” “ I beg your pardon,” re
plied one of the female auditors, “a

“As I was goina said an Irishman,’

I met Pat Hewins. ‘ Hew ins, says I
