Hail sweet Coquet! Extract of Flowers,
Culled from Flora’s choicest bowers,
And distilled in crystal vases,
Like pearly tears, wept by the graces,
’Tis thee we sing, thou sweet Boquet,
From morning dawn till close of day ;
In thy sweet breath dost thou combine
The odor of the Jessamine,
With other flowers, rich and rare,
That sceut the fragrant Southern air ;
The Tube Hose and the Violet.
The Moss llose and the Miguionette,
The Heliotrope, and other flowers,
Blooming in onr sunny bowers.
In thee unite their sweetest scents,
To make thy far-famed excellence.

lowing report of eonoerO
ing the past and future: ffTbo* hast
served three years in the
for a horse thou didst not steal. Thoa
will be governor of the State, and after
wards decline a sratin the,United States
Senate A wealthy jmmg lady, with
blue hair, auburn eyes, ant l very beauti
ful, is now about to graduate from th«
, House of' Correct ion, whom tho» wilt
1 marry as soon as thy present wife dleaj,
| which will be at (he fourth full of 'tfte''
! next tnoon. r rhon wilt become possessed
of this lady’s wcafth and elope with the
wife of a coal-boat engineer. Thou wiTt
go to New Orleans and start a keho bant,
which will bring thcc in great riches.—
After an absence of nieteeir years tbou
wilt return to thy repining wild, Isy thy
1 princely fortune at her feet, be forgiven,
! and alter raising a family of nineteen
[ children, die happy, at the age of nincty
| nine.”
Ax amusing incident occurred in one
of our down-cast churches a few years
ago. The clergyman gave out the hymn:.
“I love to steal awhile away from every
cumbeni)g care, and spend the hour of
I setting day in humbly grateful prayer. n
I The regular chorister being abseut, tha
' duty devolved upon good old Deacon M.
; who commenced, “I love to steal,” and
then broke down, liaising his voiee to
a slill higher pitch, he sang “I love to
steal;” and, as before, he concluded be
; had got the wrong pitch, and deploring
lie had not got his pitch tuner, ho deter
mined to succoed if he died in tlio at
i tempt. ]>y this time all the old ladies
! were tittevi g behind their fans, whist
the faces or the young ones were a}l in a
i broad grin. At length, af'er a desperate
cough, he made a final demonstration
! and roared out, “I love to steal.” This
j effort was too ranch. Every one but the
) godly and eccentric parson was laughing,
i lie arose and with the uttuuat coolness
said, “Seeing our brother's propensities,
let us pray.” It is needless to say that
but few of the congregation heard the
| prayer.
A Chicago paper says; 'AVe took a
: new reporter on Inal yesterday. Us
went ont to hunt items, and after being
i away all day, returned with the following,
which he said was the best he could do:
! “Yesterday we saw a sight that froze our
muscles with horror, A hackman, driving
down Clark street at a rapid pace, came
very near running over a nur.-o and two
children. There would have been one of
the most heart-remjing eatastrophies
ever recorded, had not the nurse, with
wondetful forethought, left the children
at home before she went out, and provi
dentially stepped into a drug store just
before the hack passed. Then, too, the
hackman, just before reaching the cross
ing, thought of something he had forgot
ton, and turning about drove in the op
posite direction. Had it not been for
this wonderful concurrence of favoring
circumstances, a doting father, a loving
mother, and affectionate brothers and sis
ters, would have been plunged in the
I deepest woe and most ultcrablc funeral
I expenses.’ The new reporter will be
retained.”
Can’t Surrom - Himself. —The fol
lowing Las been handed us as the ver
batim conversation of two blacks on
Thursday:
Ed.—Say .Jo", what is dat oaf do peo
ple have to take when dey register?
Joe. —“You is sworn to support the
United States.” When he was interrup
ted by Ed. saying:
How du h—ll is I gwino to sport de
whole United States when I can’t sport
myself? And if dat is de case ise gwine
to leave the United States.— Columbus
Sun.
The last Brooklyn Union vouches for
the truth of the following: In Brooklyn
last Tuesday night, a young lady resi
ding at No. 45 I’rinco street, refused to
go to rest in her bed room, on the ground
that she had a presentiment that thero
was danger of some kind threatening her
while she was in that room. She accor
dingly slept in another part of the house.
In a course of a storm that night, the
lightning entered the bed room and shiv
ered to atoms the bed in which she usual
ly slept.
A cioss and grained wife is for her
husband what a heavy 1 urden is for an
aged man. A good and gentle wife, oa
the contrary, is a crown of gold for her
husband. Every time he looks at her
his heart and his eyes rejoice.
An exchange paper says there is a
young lady in their town so modest that
she will not allow the Christian Obsetv
er to remain in her room over night.
A Western editor has placed ove*his
marriages a cut representing a large trap,
sprung, with this motto: “The trap
down—another ninny caught.”
MiscellaXY. —One of the editors of
a New Orleans paper, soon after begin
ning to learn the printing business, went
to court a preacher’s daughter. The
next time he attended meeting ho was
taken down at hearing the minister an
nounce as bis text: “My daughter >is
grievously tormented with a ‘devil.”
