U. a CHANT. Exec. Mansion. Feb. 8, 1875. The Boston Advertiser, the leading Republican newspaper of New England, says; "That it m the deliberate pur pose of General Butler and the«« who train in his company to taunt and insult the South to the pitch of and overt net» of retaliation, observant men can hardly doubt. The danger is that the large body of ~ too i. me danger ui Republicans who » sad justice will upon' their should ' l)î*ÎÔï6 QU 1 who and that means President 1I4AU down young goats over a stable roof, a® thrill through it like Spanish need* through tow linen browsers. As a go ling swimmeth with delight in a mm nddle, so swinf I in a sea of' glor irions of ecstatic rapture, thicker »an the hair of a blacking brush. and brighter then the hues on a humming bird's pinions, visit me in my slumbers, and borne on their invisible wings, your image stands before me, and I reach out to grasp it, like an old pointer snapping at a bine-bottle fly. When I first beheld your saintly perfections I was bewildered, and my brain whirled around like a bumble-bee under a glass tumbler; my eyes stood open like cellar doors in the country towns; and I lifted my ears to catch tbe silvery aooenls of your voice. My tongne refused to wag, and in silent admiration I drank in the sweet infection of love, as a thirsty man swnlloweth a tumbler of hot whisky punch. Since the light of your face fell upon my life, I sometimes feel as if I could lift myself by my shoo straps to the top of a church steeple. Day and night yon are my thoughts. When Aurora, blushing like a bride, riser from her saffron conch; when the jay bird pipes his tuneful lay in the apple tree by the spring-house; when the chanticleer's shrill clarion heralds the coming morn; when the awakened pig ariseth from his bed, and goeth forth for his morning refreshments; when the drowsy beetle wheels his droning flight at sulky noontide, and when the lowing oows come home at milking |time, I think of thee. And like a piece of gumelastic, my heart seems to stretch clear across my bossom. Tour hair is like the mane of a sorrel horse painted with gold, and the brass slide to your immaculate neck-tie fills me with un bounded awe. Tour forehead is smooth er than an old coat, and whiter than eventeen hundred linen. Your eyes are glorious to behold. In their liquid depths I see legions of little cupids battling and fighting like cohorts of ant* in nn old army cracker. When their fire hit me in the womanly breast, it perforated my entire anatomy like a load of b ird-shot would go through a rotten apple. Yonr nose is from a chnnck of parian marble, and yonr mouth puckers with sweetness. Nectar lingers on yonr lips like honey on a bear's paw, and myriads of unileged kisses are there ready to fly out of the parent nest and light somewhere like blue-birds out^l their parent nest. Yonr laugh rings on my ears like the wind harp's strain, or the bleat of a stray lamp on the bleak hillside. The dimples in yonr cheeks are like bowers in beds of roses, or like hollows in cakes of home-made sugar. I am dying to fly to your presence, and to pour out the burning eloquence of my love ns a thrifty housewife pours out the hot coffee. Away from you I am as melan choly as a rick rat. Sometimes I can hear the June-bugof despondency buz zing in my ears, and feel the cold liz sards of despair crawling down my back. Uncouth fears like a thousand minners nibbling at my spirits, and my soul is pierced through with doubts as an old cheese is bored by skippers. My lore is stronger for you than the smell of the old butter, sweitzer kase, or the kick of * mule. It is purer than the breath of a young crow and more on selfish than a kitten's first cat ter wan!. As the son-bird hungers for the light of day. the cautious mouse for the fresh bacon iu the trap, as a lean pup hank era after new milk, so I long for thee. You are fairer than a speckled pullet, sweeter than a Yankee doughnut fixed in sorghum molasses; brighter than the top-knot plumage on the head of Mnaeovia dock. You axe candy kisses, I ««»d sweetened H these few enable you to soul, and me to win your affec tions, I shall be w happy as a wood in a cherry tree, or a stage-home If you ean not passion, I will pine away fall sway l life, an dug years from the and! plfiCft ( I Ecïla. poor : to a not an the au' I v mnst I ' aster give* notice is date everybody own postage stamps, 'vo out." There are trees so tall in Missouri that it takes two men and a boy to look to the top of them. One looks till he goto tired, and another commences where he left off. Willie P., a little five-year old, was playing with a honey-bee, when the angry bee stung him. "Oh, Grand ma," cried Willie, " I didn't know bees had splinters in their feet 5" "Bridget, what have yon done with the cream ? Those children can not eat Bkim-milk for breakfast.'' "Sure, ma'am and it isn't myself that would be after givin' the scum to yez, I tuk that off and gave it to the cats." Mark Twain thinks that soda-water is not reliable for a Bteady drink. It is too gassy. The next morning, after drinking thirty-eight bottles, he found himself full of gas and as tight as a balloon. He hadn't an article of cloth ing he could wear, except his umbrella. A Dutch woman kept a toll-gate. One foggy day a traveler asked, ■ 'Madame, how far is it to B—?" "Shoost a leetle ways," was the reply. "Yes, bnfc how far ? again asked the traveler, "Shoost a leetle ways,'* more emphatically. "Madame, is it one, two, three, four, or five miles ?" The good woman in geniously replied, "I dinks it is," "How do 1 look, Pompey?" said a young dandy to his servant, as he had finished dressing. "Elegant, massa; you look bold ob a lion." "Bold as a hen, Pompey 1 How do you know ? You never saw a lion." "Oh, yes, massiv, I seed one down to Jenks', in his stahl a. " Down to Jenks', Pompey?
