Young men of SpnrU, I wish you to know, That high crowned beavers aro now all the go ; But thuee who wear them excite so much talk, With one on, through the streets it is dangers to walk. The new style of hats doesn’t suit the fair mi, And the fashion it seems, their sweet temper to vex, For we who wear them, have kindly been dubed, “The Develwh Bummers, aud the beaver club ” Bes’dse this they aay, we drink with a vim, And never take a glass but tie filled to the brim. The wine in our breath, the hats ou our pete, Are two things the ladies most oordially hale. Now If we admit what the ladies say, true, Wh t business have th'-y with whatever we dp 7 If we wi.-h to wear beavers, to drink wine and moke, We dou’t ask the ladies to tkink it a joke. But boys since the ladies our b*avers soh ate, Let us give them the right to gossip and prate, We’ll try to bear calmly the hard things they say, And with our high beavers go walking away. N. O. POET MAKER. Miscellany, From the Saturday Evening Post Lyle Trent's Lesson. BY £. A. “Ob, Lyle, pleose take me to the thea¬ tre to night. Won’t you ? Forrest is to play Richelieu. I have never seen him in that, and it will be such a treat to me Won’t you take me, Lyle ?” and lovely little Amy Trent looked up from the pa¬ per she was reading into her husband’s face with violet such a wistful expression in her large, eyes. 1 you but then I fear I can’t get off from the store in time. Next week, maybe, I’ll have an evening to spare. Bye Bye, pet, don’t wait tea for me,” and Lyle Trent, having finished his breakfast, pushed back his chair, and bad, departed. “It is too I declare;” and poor lit¬ tle Amy looked ready to cry. “This is the fourth time he has refused me within the two months we have been married I know that he does not stay at the stone so late Jf evenings; but he always has some excuse or other. He really deserves to be punished, so be docs. It is too had in him always to refuse me in the manner he does. I won’t stand it,” and Amy’s tiny hand was clenched into a diminutive “sledge That hammer.” Lyle did make evening Mr. not hie appearance until after ten o’clock.— Amy looked perfectly bewitching in her drab merino dress, trimmed with scarlet velvet, and ribboa on the same hue wound about her small, graceful head, with its profusion of dark carls, which forehead were con tinualiy falling over her in the most charming disorder, do what she wou d to keep them in place. “OU, Lyle, dear, is that you? How tired you must be, working so hard all day in that stupul store. Iiete, take this easy chair, dear, and sheepish,°Lyl take a good rest’” Looking rather e permit ted himself to be placed in the artu-chair. Amy brought hiiu his slippers, and busied herself about him with numberless litu e attentions. At last, seating herself on a low stool at bi< feet, she locked up into his face with such a demure expression, “Poor, deear, Lyle, are you a little rest¬ ed now ? I assure you, you quite fright¬ ened me when you came in, you looked so fatigued. I don’t know how you stand it, I am sure ; you are not used to it, you know. Why, before we were married, don’t you remember, you u&ed to take the greatest lot of exercise and reoreation ? Why, you scarcely ever had passed a quiet eveuing with me, you so many en¬ gagements, you know. You aotualiy us¬ ed! to go over to New York aud Wash¬ ington merely to attend balls or parties given there; but since we have been mar¬ ried, yon seem to have lost all taste for such amusements. I hope I am not the cause of it, atn I, dear ? But here I am talking; away; aud perhaps you have not had “Oh, your tea yet Have I’ve you, Lyle ?” yes, my dear, had my tea.— The fact is, Randal, Gale and a lot of feU lows, dropped in to and see me this afternoon, and we went out took supper togeth* er.” “Oh !” was all the answer Amy made, with the most innocent expression imag¬ inable. The next evening Mr. Trent did not re¬ turn any sooner; and Amy was compelled to pass the entire evening as usual, alone. “Can you spare time to accompany me to Hafieigh’s this afternoon^Lyle, dear?” sweetly asked Mrs. Trent, of her liege lord, one morning. “I want to get some dresses and things; and I would sq like you to go with me to b«fp meseiect them.” “Quite impossible, my dear—out of the question. I have sot that much time to spare. Select yo» r dressei by yourself, I love, and have tbs hill sent to me. am save that is alt * little wife need ask— isn’t it f” I *Oh, yes—T am quite satisfied, »m sure. Of <ourse I should have liked to have you with me j but if it cannot be helped—’ dear, it cannot be helped; per¬ “No, my time—” haps some other “Yes, dear, some other time. And Amy held up her rosebud sf s mouth for his good-bye kiss. <*Well, there's no mistake about it, she Ultl .°.

What ?” And the started Lyle sat bolt upright, with distended eyes and parted lips. “Oh, nothing th*t will take you from business, dear,” sweetly replied Amy. “I as.-urc you l need scaroely trouble you in future. Harvey Randal is oomisng to take me out driving to morrow morning, and we are going to make a party for the theatre in the evening, and on Thursday there is a matinee at the Academy, and in the evening Mrs. Thornton’s party.— Harvey Randal promised to be my escort.” “D—n Harvey Randal,” exclaimed the now infuriated Lyle, starting up, kicking footstools, ottomans, “and whatever ob¬ structed his path” about in pictuiesque confusion. “Why, Lyle dear! ?
