Sister ! since i met thee last,
O er thy brow a change bath past.
In the soilness 6f thine eves.
Deep and still a shadow lies ;
From thy Voice there thrills a tone,
Never to thy childhood know n ;
Through tiiy soul a sioriu hath moved,
Gentle sis.er, llmu hast loved !
Yes! thy varying cheek hath caught
lines too brigb’ front troubled '.bought
Far 'thing the wandering stream,
Thou art followed hy a dream :
In the woods and valleys lone
. Music haunts thee, not thine own :
VV heret’ore fall thy tears like rain t
—Sisler, thou hast loved in vain !
Tell inc not the tale my flower !
On my bosom pour that shower !
Tell me not of kind thoughts wasted ;
Tell me not of young hopes blasted ;
Wring not f.nth one burning word,
Let thy heart no more he stirred !
Home alnne can give thee rest,
Weep, sweet sister, on my breast!
Culling a Fellow otit.
THU ADVRNTIBBB OF A VICTIM.
1 mice attempted to cul a fol ow out,
that is, poke my note into his Business,
nu’ildling with the affections of his gal.
oiul got kicked for my pains. She is a
nice gal; a fine gal is Maty Haims.
Levi Smith had been tier ucktiovvletloed
admirer for several years. He attended
to all her little affairs of amiability, audit
was said that they were, and for along
lime hurl been engaged to he married—
that I Believe is the explanation. 1 would
not say a wort! against Levi for the world,
but somehow, it had become iinjues.-vd
upon my mind, that he was a spooney ;
besides he kicked tne; i can’t forget that;
I wouid foiget it ii 1 could. ’ 1 Was the
happiest moment of my life ; i felt proud,
Gcwlei . ..i mink IM been kicked liy a
Smith. Hi icked me with a heartiness
that cjtiv ,mi me he was in earnest, and
tit • night he was solving me right. True,
I felt mollified at the same time, not that
1 was .kicked. Oh ! Smith! Levi Smith!
yon kicked me in the p escnce of Maty
Haines —and tin what I
£niiih courted Mary alii'Ut five years
before 1 ever thnuoiil of u setting his up
plecart. 1 veryb"<ly, because it is custo
mary to meddle wit the business if eve
ryb'idy else, wondered why they did not
get in a tried; old folks said it was scanda
lous; young folks said they would not
stand it ; ami the girls ccasionally said
they would suck him off; I considered
the matter and conclude., to cut him out
aim iaku iict myself, u he whole figure,
besiege the fortress and carry off the
prize. 1 lung had cherished a sneaking
notion, a: I now 1 Je t (mined to let my
feelings have full sway. Accordingly 1
opened a talk with Mary on the subject—
i appealed to my admiration for her. I
convinced her that Smith was trilling with
her feelings ; that fixed bet flint, and she
launched into my aims with a rush —it
was all over ; I loved her and she loved
me. Rut how t > get rid of Smith ! For
three weeks we held a two hour’s conver
sation each day; and every day we grew
fonder of each other—hut how to get rid
of Smith ? It was tlie fiist thing thought
of when we patted. At last we settled
upon a plan w hich we deemed honorable*
and just the tiling for our comfort. To
tell the truth, 1 did not feel altogether
tranquil when I reflected upon the fact of
my going the whole length into Mary's af
fecti .ns, knowing that she was engaged to
him, and that she was deceiving Smith or
myself, possibly myself, more probably
Smith. One day Smith came to our house
on a business enatid. 1 drummed up suf
ficient courage to invite him on a walk
wth me down the brook, a goodly dis
tance from the house, where we could
not be interrupted. Once there, I seated
myself on a lock, and invited him to help
himself totjnoihor, and the following con
versation took place :
“1 should like to know why you have
trotted me away down here ?”
“Smith,” said I emphatically, and at
the same time putting on a look of awfu'
portent, “Srrit", 1 will tell you.”
“Well, out with it ; what do you look
so confounded silly fur ?”
“Silly, Smith! L' t you love Mary
Haines 1”
"None of vour business.”
‘‘Business, Smith ? Do you intend to
marry Mary ?"
“Why, you infernal Donkey !”
“Donkey, Smith l Are you fioling
Mary Haines 1"
"Fo ling the deuce! What’s the mat
ter with you 1”
"Mattel. Smith 1 1 love Mary Ha nes,
I intend to marry Iter.”
‘ I have a good intention of giving you a
thrashing !”
• Thrashing, Smith 1 I would not fool
Mary!”
“No, I don’t think you would ; you’re
j too big a fool for that.”
“Ant I Smi li 1 Lo.,k here, Smith, I’m
i going to cut you out."
“It you go there, I’ll kick you out.”
“Noiv, Smith, keep cot 1, and listen.—
You have courted Maty Haines for live
years.”
“That's none of your Business."
“And everybody says that you are fool
ing her. Now, if you are courting iter for
the spoil of it, then, I calculate dial 1
have a perfect right to go in for the sport,
too; Hut i( you intend to marry her, 1
| won’t interfere. Now,—”
“Well, what next 1”
“Do you intend to marry her ?”
“As I said before, that is uone of your
busines-—and it 1 catch you poking your
ugly rmse round the house, I’ll punch
your head lor you. Now, don’t open your
j dps again, hut just think over how you
; tan best profit hy my advice to you. lie
cureiul of your stupid pate, tlia.’s all.”
Levi Smith travelled. 1 siuck to the
rock.
At first I was stunned with his display
of stupidity in not appreciating my disin
terested intentions ; then indignant that
he treated me so cavalierly ; by-and-bye,
futtons to think that 1 nad condescended
to inform him f tlie laudable motives ilia 1
had induced roe to cut him out. Finally,
a pull off my boots and wading after pollv
vvogs, in sltal’ow water, thinking that it
might cool me off, and thinking of Marv
Hanes, I got out of my depth and put tnv
foot into a hale, and down I went all over
into the creek, which, instead of cooling
rny ardor, aroused a fierce desire to flog
Levi Smith; not forgetting tliar he was
cortsidetable of a man, and 1 considerable
of a bay six or seven years his junior, and
in size 1 bore the same relation to him
that a pile of chips does to a cord of wood
For all that, 1 fell that my pluck was
equd to his big body, and if opportunity
had "fibred just then, I should have taken
efficient measures to secure to myself a
most comfortable thrashing—l have not
tiie least doubt of it.
Night came. I was boiling over with
indignation, and as anappish ns a hyena

one cornet engaged in the animating and
gratifying pastime, sometimes denomina
tod hugging and kissing! I made a sou
of a stop, sudden.
“Good evening," said Mary, in no wise
disconcerted.
I dropped into tbe nearest chair and
Drought my left leg to horizontal, testing
over my tigl t knee, and then hung mv
hat over my hoot and stumped Levi to
knock it off.
“Stump me, do you ]”

the entry, then applied the toe of his boot
to me in a manner that sent me out of the
front door. 1 thought I had neverencoun’

me if 1 don’t think he would have met with
some hing that would probably have in
duced him to renew the operation. Mary
smilingly passed me out my hat, and ad
vised me to tun home. The advice I con
sidered particularly good, and availed my
self of it Itnmediate'y. But the way I
pitched tlits rocks into Levi Smith's chick
en-coop, as I passed his father’s house,
wasn’t lazy, ha !
Well, the very next Sunday, the tu .vn
clerk, af.er the forenoon service was over,
rose up in tho gallery behind the pul, it,
and read from a slip of paper, “The pm
