- Surrounded by 9")?”92.‘ admirers,
The 'bc‘lle 6'! the "Calico Buli.’.’.
She moved like a nymph thro’ the dances;

I followed her round like a shadow,
By the spell of her glamour entranced,
And if I admired when walking,
- I almost adored when she danced.
Her voice had the charm of sweet music,
Her mouth was like choral and pearl;
She had all the round grace of a woman,
And all the "circus of a girl.
.
I'Hl MORNING Ame.
I saw her at home in the morning,
When none of her lovers were near,
With no meretricons ardorning,
And only her mother _to hear.
Her features looked sickly and wan,
Her checks and her chin somewhat baggy,
The crowl'eet beneath her eyes ran.
And she was—in short, she was scraggy.
Her wrapper was frayed, fitted ill,
Was dowdy in style‘and in pattern;
She was what she calleden deshabzlle,
I fear that I thought her a slaltern.
Her thin hair was all out of curl,
Somewhat in the style of a Nereid,
And she looked very much like a girl
or a vcrymuch earlier period.
Bn't what seemed most strange in the matter,
Or, was it the change in the light 7—
It looked just a shade or two lighter
Than what it appeared last night.
Her language was very unfilial,
Her answers were snappish and short,
And more like a daughter of Belial
Than one of the heavenly sort.
Her mouth was drawn downward and pursy
She had sent out her teeth to get fixed,
And she threw things around without mercy
Till matters began to look mixed.
Cosmc.ics and padding and hair,
And things that defy my conception;
But modesty bids me forbear
To pass a more rigid inspection.

I saw her at noon promenading,
Superb as a Juno she sailed.
The artist conveniently aiding
Where niggardly nature had failed.
’ She left a c'ean pathway behind her
As she swept the broaflisles of hilly fair,
And you would be certain to find her
By the odor she left in the air.y
A pannier of modest proportions
She wiggied with infinite grace,-
And an infinitesimal chapeau
She wore on the top of her—face.
Her gait was a nondescript waddle
Which served her in lieu of a walk,
And her speech was a species of twaddle
Which answered the purpose of t..lk.
And to this magnificent creature
I came so near losing my heart,
That I would have died butto meet her,
If I hadn’t. seen her—apart. '

1 PLETE SEWING MACHINE.
The first and only Button~Ilole and Sewing Ma.-
chine combined that has made its advent in this or
any other country. The followlugreasons are given
why this is the
BEST FAMILY MACHINE TO PURCHASE:
1. Because it will do everything that any machine
can do, sewing from the finest to the coarsest mate-
rial, hemming. felling, cording, braiding, binding.
gathering and sewing on, at the same time, ruining,
quilting, better than any other machine. 2. Becan e
the tensions are more easily1 adjusted than an at
machine. 8. Because the s uttle is entirelyd fi‘erent
from any other and very little trouble to thread. 4.
Because it can work a beautiful button-hole making
as fine a pearl as by the hand. 5. Because it will
embroider over the edge, making a neat and beautiful
border on any garment. 6. Because it will work a
beautiful eye et hole. 7. Because it can do overhand
seaming. by which sheets, pillow cases. and the like
are sewed over and over. 8. Because you can quickly
raise or lower the feed to adapt it to thick or thin
cloth. 9. Because you have a short. deep bobbin by
which thread is constantly drawn from the center;
the tension is consequently even, and does not break
that the cloth can' be easily removed afterbeing sew-
ed. 11. Because the best mechanics pronounce it
the bestfinished and made on the best principle of
any machine manufactured. It has no springs to
break; nothing in get out of order. 12. Because it
is two machines in one—a Button-hole Working and
Sewing Machine combined.
