BY ALFRED EVELYN. 0! where’s the brush will dare to paint, Or lip presume to tell The life and ‘doings’ of that gaud,— A fashionable belle? What bold, presumptuous man, whose tongue. Will dare to utter blame ’Gainst that strange thing by fools oft sung A ‘Modern Belle’ by name? 0! who will dare assert that cheek, So seeming smooth and fair, rts gentle blush from paint doth seek; O! who will this declare? And who will call the slender waist A torture and an art? By whalebones and by cords so laced, That tears of pain do start? Who will declare beneath the eye, So wicked and so bright, Ingeniously is traced a dye That makes it dark as night? Is there a voice the thought will breathe, While gliding down the waltz, That those soft curls her brow doth wreathe, And kiss her cheeks, are false? • No; there’s not one so bold to tell. No man so brave to sing— For fear of blame—against a belle— That painted made up thing! Not one to say a modest girl, By truth and virtue graced, Is as a pure and priceless pearl Beside this gem of paste! When richly for a ball arrayed, There’s none will say in jest— “ ’Twere best the foot should be displayed; And something hide the breast!” There’s none will say this; nor condemn The modern dancer’s form— In which they yield their waists to men— A woman’s soul should scorn ! In building a chimney, put a quantity of salt into the mortar with which the intercour ses of bricks are to be laid. The effect will be that there will never beany accumulation of soot in that chimney. The philosophy is thus stated: The salt in the portion of mortar which is exposed absorl>s moisture from the atmosphere every damp day. fl he soot thus becoming damp, falls down to the fire-place. 1 ms appears T04j0 an r.ngusu uisuuvci *. *1 *•'» used with suecegH in Canada.
