JJnutsing Scaling. MAIDEX RESOLUTIONS. BY MARY r. T. TICKER. Oh! I'll tell you of n fellow. Of a fellow I have seen, W ho is neither white or yellow, But is altogether green ! Then his name isn't charming, For it's only common 'Bill;' And he wishes me to wed him, But I hardly think I will! He has told me off a cottage. Of a cottage 'tnong the trees, And don't you think the pawkey Tumbled down upon his knees ! While the tears the creature wasted Wore enough to turn a mill : And he begged me to accept him, Bnt I hardly think I will! Oh, he whispered of devotion, Of devotion pure and deep, But it seemed so very silly That I nearly fell asleep! And ho thiuks it would be pleasant, As we journey down the hill, To go hand in hand together, 1 But I hardly think I will! He was here last night to see me, And he made so long a stay, I begnn to think the blockhead Xtver meant togo away. At first I learned to hate him, And I know I hate him still; Yet he urges ine to have him, Bat I hardly think I will! I am snro I wouldn't choose him, But the very deuce is in it; For he says if I refuse him, That he could not live a minute ; And you know the blessed Biblo^ Plainly says, we "niusn't kill," So I've thought the matter over, ! And I rather guess I will!! GOING A SHOPPING. Did you ever go a shopping? I suppose not. Gentlemen have no genius for shopping. They are not equal to it. Nature has let their faculties imperfect in that particular. They can write books and make speeches, and all that sort of thing, but they are not up to shopping. It takes the ladies j for that. Men go to a store and select what j they want and buy it. But that is not shop- 1 ^ nine?that renuires no genius. r?o ? ^ j ; Men pretend they don't like to go shop- j ping with the ladies. I wonder who ever asked them ? What lady would have such an encumbrance on such occasions ? Mcu are well enough in their places. Youug ' gentlemen are convenient to take us to concerts, and see us home from church, and , bring us bouquets and music; and husbands ( are useful, I suppose, to pay bills, &c., but for shopping excursions they are quite out of place. Do not understand me to iusinuute that I have any distinguished ability that way.? Not at all?I only speak for my sex. Iu fact, I acknowledge that I am regarded by my lady acquaintances as a poor hand at it. . But my friend Sallie Z. is a model shopper. 1 I aoi taking les?ons of her, and hope to bo perfected by the time I am married. A few days since she invited me with her. "1 wish to look at the now style silks," : said she. "Why, do you want a dress?" said I. "Really," said Sallie, "if it was not impolite, I should say you were a verdaut. I don't want a dress?but there's no reason J shouldn't see the materials." ' So Sallie and I sallied out. The first store we entered, she asked whether the merchant had received his spring goods. He | said he had, and inquired what she would like to see. "Show me jour uew style dress goods," said she; "such as barege robes and lawn robes, handsome striped and plaid silks; brocades and changeable silks are not much worn this spring, but I'll look at your solid colors." The merchant soon had his counter spread with goods. She examined and tossed the ! pieces about, making various ugly creases in ! them to see whether they would come out again by rubbing. "What style is worn ?" said Sallie. "Well, we sell more plaids and stripes than any other." "Have you any with the chene stripe "Oh, yes, some very fine," and a variety of pieces were produced. "Well I can't say, after all, that I like the ; cheue stripe ; it looks like the old style revived. I prefer the plaids; the green is ve- j ry pretty." So Sallie held it in various lights, rubbing I and creasing it. "Well it don't crease much," said she; "I wonder whether it will cut ?" *-?o, it is boiled silk, aud we find the plaids and stripes usually wear well." "Your silks are quite pretty, and you may cut me off samples continued Sallie. This the merchant was forced to do, though with rather a bad grace, as most of bis i goods were iu patterns, and he feared spoiling the piece. i VT ..TTTM1 1 1_ .1 1 . "YViu you dc Kina enougn to give nie i the samples of the solid colors ?" These were also furnished. "This plaid, you say, is one dollar thirtyseven cents. Is that the lowest ?" "Yes?we can't take less." "How many yurds iu the pattern?" "Fourteen." "I'd rather have eighteen ; perhaps I might conclude to have tlounces. Well, I'll take the samples and show my mother, and then make up my mind. Have you any Coate's cotton ? Give me a spool, No. 33." This was handed her; she paid five cents, and we left. I looked at my watch. We had been there exactly a full hour. "What a cheat! 1 can buy those spools for four ceuts," said Sallie, when we were fairly out, "and besides, we forgot their , shawls!" So we went to another store. "Have you any Stella Shawls ?" "Yes, some beautiful ones just opened.? j Would you see the brochc borders, or the printed ?" "Both." "Any particular colors?" "No?I'll look at all of them," said Sal lie. Different colors, qualities and paterns, were accordingly produced. . "What is the price of this green centre troche border?" inquired Sailie. We can afford you that at nine dollars? same style sold for fifteen two months ago. Some priuted borders we can p?it at four dollars and fifty cents. "No; I prefer broche; but can't you take less ?" I saw a twiukle in the merchant's eye, which made me think he knew she was only shopping. "Now," said he, "if you won't mention it, I'll let you have it for six." Sallie looked surprised. She knew that style of article was selling at nine. "Six dollars?is that your lowest?" Well?to oblige you, I'll say four." A pause. "Then you think that four dollars is your very lowest?" Ahem ! We have a large lot, and I want to dispose of them. I'll say two dollars and fifty cents 1" Still longer pause. "Are you sure it is a first rate piece of goods?" "I'll warrant it all silk aud wool." My friend was caught. Turning to me she whispered: T do wish I had brought same money!" and then addressing the merchant, she said : "I'll call again." T never was so glad to get out of a store before, for the clerks had gathered around us, seeming to understand the joke. l>ut Sallic went home, got the money, and insisted on my returning with her to the store for the shawl. The trader said he was sorry, very?but the shawl had just been sold. And so was Sallic, too, I thought. We wem SUOppilIg IJU mult mm Uimiuwu.

Apologue.?A poor laborer, in a ccrfaiu village, died, after a long illness; and having escaped the turmoils of existence, presented himself at the gates of Heaven, where he found he had been preceded by a rich man of the same locality, who had just died, and having previously knocked, had been admitted by the Apostle Peter. The laborer, who stood without, was enchanted by the ravishing sounds of singing, rejoicing, and sweet music which appeared to hail the en trance of the Dives; and having knocked in his turn, was also admitted. But what was his astonishment at finding silence, where seraphic sounds had so lately been joyously uttered! "How is this?" lie demanded of Peter; "when the rich man entered, I heard music and singing; is there, then, the same distinction between, rich and poor in Heaven as on earth ?" "Xot at all," replied the Apostle, "but the poor come to Heaven every day, whereas it is scarcely once in a hundred years that a rich man gains admission." <?|lr ? * " ?

Curtis. j Strychnine.?In Ceylon and several i | districts of India grows a moderate sized j tree, with thick shining leaves, and a short | crooked stein. In the fruit season it is readily recognized by its rich orange-colored berries, about as large as golden pippins, the favorite food of many kinds of birds, within which arc the flat round seeds, not an inch in diameter, ash-grey in color, and covered with very minute silky hairs. The Germans fancy they can discover a resemblance il?Am Avne? t?nrf /i ill f !inm PV.-iw's Ill I IIV-1II IU U?vj V-JVJ HIIU Mtv.ll t vv... ~ eyes, but the likeness is purely imnginny.? The tree is the strychnine mix vomica, anil the seed is the deadly poison nut. The latter was early used as a medicine by the Hindoos, and its nature and properties understood by Oriental doctors long before it was known to foreign nations. Dog killer and fish scale arc two of its Arabic names. It is stated that at present the natives of Hind stan often take it for many months continuously, in much the same way as an opium-eater cats opium. They commence with taking the eigth part of a nut a day, and gradually increase their allowance to an entire nut, which would be about 20 grains. If they eat it directly before or after food, no unpleasant ollocts arc produced ; but if they neglect ibis precaution, spasms result.? llomvUhi ri fi.' lJx. ? -4??OV What our Enkmies ark Dot no.?
