non?
A general titteriiig prevailed, that put.
to the blush both Cora and her brot.lier,
but did not seem to disconcerl. the pa-
rents in the least.
Josh leisurely examined the splendid
carpets upon which he trod, and coming
to an elegant piece of brussels, exclaim-
ed, while he made preparations fora vig-
orous stride. '
"If yer'dou’t want yer fancy coverlids
stepped on, you’d better have ’em taken
up, I reckon, or I might dislocate some
part of ’em with my cotvhides, I swow!’
The tittering now became a gciieral
laugh. Mr. Hankins "lay back” in an
elegant arm chair, enjoying himself as
best he could, while volumes of smoke
ever and anon escaped from an old rusty
pipe which he held between his lips.—
Those nearest him held their noses ap-
peared somewhat disgusted, whereupon
the old gentleman enquired. ‘
“Golly? I hope none of yoti ain’t
sticken up your noses at me--1 don't like
it. P’raps you don’t like the smell 0’
my pipe’? But it’s e’enaaniost half out;
30, hold on yer cakes ;” and he ejected a
huge mouthful of saliva, which, before
it had spent its force, found its way to-
wards the fancy pants of an exquisite,
dapbing them most beautifully.
"Cwonfound youaw impawtineiice ‘.”
exclaimed the aggrieved one, who was
no other than Mr. Benson, a dapper look.
Miss Daiivers was, by no nieaiis, aris-
tocratic. liiileed, she Iiardly knew the
defiiiition ol" the lOl'lll_, as regard a per-
sonal glpplictitioii; only liiiowiiig it by
observiiig it as exhibited in the coiidnct
of her more favored coiiipanioiis. She
reigned possessor of that one quality,
common sense, a requisite tluzt but few
fasliioiiables can command. She saw
the inattei' in the same light as that in
which the pareiits of Cora Rawdoii be-
held it; and to assume her real charac-
ter, she had placed herself in such a po-
sition that she might easily engross his
attention, and thus relieve his friends
from the embarrassment under which
they labored, on account of his acts.-—
Josliua Hankins was “now somewliat
more precise in his manner of conversa-
tion with her; yet it betrayed no stipe-
riority over that which he had before em-
ployed,
“Niles,” said he,~“if you’ll allow me
ter use yer name in that kiiiil 0’ fashion,
why doii’t they git up sum kind uv a play

ance, but whose restless eye l)eL0l-lelled
other than a truly generous spirit, and
whose appearance, in the eyes of a true
pliysiogomist, would have, by no means,
proved a good characteristic.
"Youaw dem eouiitwy gwawk 3 youaw

fiercely. Cora looked all manner of col-
ors, and the old man noticed her agita-
tion.
“Niece, what’s the matter '.’ [Iris

nation site for that air fellcr’s pants. I

The sound of music, proceeding from
t/he piano, iiiterrtipteil fnrtlier conversa-
tion, and they listened intently for the
musical treat in store for them. Miss
Georginia Celcstiua Altaverde presided
i’ve been doin’~ Now, see here, Mister

companion to Joseph's coat ’o many col-
ors. Josh, will yer go, and git ’em, so
as he can try ’em on? I guess tliey’ll
make a snug fit." A roar went up from
the apartment, startling poor Mr. Benson
from his agitation, and suffusing his pale
cheeks with the crimson of shame.
“Dad, I wish you’d go arter ’em,
said Josh, as he seated himself by the
belle of the season, a Miss Leiiorita
Georgiana Celestine Altaverde, of Span-
ish extraction, “cos I’m goin’ to make
love to this ‘era smart girl. \Vhat a lot

Miss, you gin me a taste tiv ’em, eh ?—
Suiting the action to the word, he was
about to clasp her to his embrace, and
match, with unqualified freedom, a kiss
from those exquisite lips.
The hot blood rose to the cheeks of
Fred Rawdon, and rushing to her side-,
he made sundry applications of his liiiiid‘
to the cheeks of his cousin, but with lit-
tle or no effect. The Rubicon was pas-
sed, thekiss gained, and Joshua slightly
disengaged her from his grasp, and, while-
be rubbed his lips, remarked : ~

CHAPTER IV.
, Still with the ceaseless fingers, plied they the
web of mirth,
Enjoying fond reve1ry—of such, ’ti.<i found of

Sipped of the precious sweets that happiness
bestows.
Ne’er casting random llioughls tit outer world

Fred was now seated by the side of
the fair Senorita Georgiana Altaverde,
l ‘
at the piano forte with miic‘u grace and
easiness. She leisurely ran her slender
fingers tip and do\vii the ivory l-‘cys, pro-
ducing a caucateiiatioii of soft sounds,
while her tiny foot drummed nervously
upon the pedal; and then she commen-
ced preparations for a splendid effort on
the instrument before her.
A music sheet rested against the rack
labelled "Comin’ tliro’ the Rye,” as for-
merly sung by M’lle Jennie Lynde, (now
Madame Goldscliinidt,) the leaves of
which Frederblt Rawilon stood in readi-
ness to turn, as occasion should'rcquire
The “bards,” under the superitit.eiid-
etice of t.lie celebrated vocalist, Mr. Os-
sian E. Dodge, had ceased their sallies
of musical variety, and now splendidly
reverberated the musical intonations' of
the debutante. The role of her charm-
inir voice, aided by the accompaniiiieiit
of one of cliickering’s best, held the dev-
otees of mirth aliiiostspell bound. “Then
she ceased, an universal token of appro-
bation went up from the host, praising
her success in rendering the famous song
of Scotland so life like.
“Golly!” exclaimed Josh, “that. erc
box must have cost heap of money !—

crazy under the influence of his moosic
that they,_got ter fightin’ like everything,
most alfirdly, and pulled and tugged at
each other like blazes,‘ so as when lic’d
got thro’ playiii’, and kinder finished,
they all felt so kinder ’sliainc.d that they
sneaked away, and did’nt lay for tliespacc
of a week, by a kcerful kalkerhttiou from

A decided explosion took place. Fas-
tidious lollies crammed their _lli'lIf‘(lliCl‘.
chiefsinto their more delicate nioutlis,
and poodle dogs leaped from their lnjg-
tresses’ laps itito the air. Opera glasses
were directed to ward the Yaiikec wit,
who sat almost imiiiovable. 5li1l‘llly,‘ wild.
ly around, wondering at the commotioii
he had procluced.
Even Mr. Benson dared to look up ,
and elevating his opera glass, be bent it
upon old Mr. Ilaiikins. Hardly had it
rested upon the form of the old gentle-
man ere a glutinous substance from the
moments before had been taken from his
mouth, completely covered the glass of
the ilatidy’s instrument.
"Oh. demmel” exclaimed lie, siiikiiig
oti his seat: ‘-I shall die ‘.” ‘
Joshua was now emphatically thé ‘ll0l'l
of the evening ;I and even fastidious Cora
with others, pressed arouiid him.
“Guess yer tliitik I’m some, now, don’t
yer?” asked Joshua, as he saw the de-
tnonstration .. “but I’d like yer to b’lievi£

"Jle wliittali-er! didii’t that fix Mr.

the author, Mr. Benton, will please to notice
is decidedly our opinion :
3:? Since the days of Pop Emmong
there has been Very little of‘ originality
displayed by our poets. No (1‘l'l_llScC1](,l..
ent genius ha-s illuinined the earth with
a trilliancy of poetic light before whicli
all otlierpoets fade into obscuritv. Po.
ets there have been, who have astoiilsli.
ed us by their daring, pleased us by their
iiigi-iiiiity or soothed ourliearts with the.
iuelody of lhcir flowing numbers. Di‘.
Ciiivers, Alexander Smith, and K. .N.
Pepper, are nanies to be KDOWI1 and ri.-_
iiienibereil——-tlie first for his bold inva-
sion of the realins of Swetlenborgian
mythology and interweaving of‘ {he
iiiystii:'\vith the absurd to twine an llTl-
mortal halo around his inspired brow‘
the second mingled the deep sea and
oiviiililiiig stars and pale moon in a chaos
of poetic iiiiagiiiery——and the last, with
a coiisciotisiiess of ilispiration, has dis-
carded the shallow conveiitionrilities of
the age, and the tiresome restriction of
Ilflnglisli orthography, in potiiiiig from
the licait-fotiiilaiii of his pure nature the
aflluent streams of :1 rich poetic fancv.
flut another on the list of public edu-
didutcs for iminortality promises to
eclipse them all, and, (if the assertion is
l not too bold) may even rival the immor-
tal F.uiii'ioiis himself. \Ve are introdu-
ced to this last poet by a post-paid copy
of his printed Poem entitled “The Anal-
ysis of Holy \Vrit,” written by Q M,

ton is, reiiiaiiis a mystery save as we re-
ceive a little light from the following
opening lines of his preface: I I
l
“.-\.ii:i_l_ysis of Holy Writ,
Given by ti fool,
‘So without: the least bit of wit.
Never went to school ;
Took it all from ting-cl‘s iiioutli,
llc was very sad,
llc was riglit from God's only ll0llr‘f‘,
But fell; very bad."
In adilitioii to the‘ assurance in the
above lines that the author is a fool, (ti
strange avowal for a poet) we also learn
that he is a Baptist, and that
"He has never read half ‘as much
Of poetry niore,
Except this, of which writes sucli,
For he knoirs not how,
But angels rmnmt nm/ac (1 lmrp
Of an olil biz]!-plow ."-'
So much for the Preface, 'l‘.lie au-
thor opens his “ponie” with a very well
deserved attack upon the Devil of wlioiu
lie l'elTlCll‘li.'S : -
"If I liail the lionor one single hour,

Mr. llouton then proceeds in an indis-
criiiiiiiatc sort of a way to mix up olil
aiiil new testament history in :1 recitative
poem, clirracterizcd by novelty of tlio’t
