PRENTICE. ’Tis morn— the sea breeze seems to bring Joy, heaith and fieshness on its wing— Bright flowers, to me all strange and new, Are glittering in the early dew — And perfumes rise from many a grove As incense to the clouds that move Like spirits o’er yon welkin clear— But Iam sad—thou art not here. ’Tis morn —a calm unbroken sleep Is on the blue waves of the deep — A soft haze, like a fairy dream, Is floating over hill and stream— And many a broad magnolia flower Within its shadowy woodlgnd bower Is gleaming like a lovely star — But I am sad—thou art afar. "Tis eve —on egrth the sunset skies Are painting their own Eden dyes ; The stars come down, and trembling glow . Like blossoms in the waves below : é And like some ynseen sprite, the breeze, Seems, lingeriag ‘mid the orange trees, Breathing in music round the spot — Hut lam sad—I see thee not. ‘ 'Tis midnight — with a soothing spell The far tones of the ocean swell Soft as a mother’s cadence mild, Low bending o'er her sleeping chiid — And oh each wandering breeze are heard The rich notes of the mocking bird In many a wild and wondrous lay — But Iam sad—thou art away. Isiuk in dreams —low, sweet and clear, Thy own dear voice is in my ear; Around my cheek thy tresses twine ; Thy own love hand is clasped in mine; Thy own soft lip to mine is pressed ; Thy head is pillowed on my breast; O! Ihave all my heart holds dear; And I am happy — thou art here. Extract from a Modern Directory. Distant Relations—People who imagine they have a claim to rob you if you are rich, and to insult you if you are poor. Belle—A beautiful, but useless insect without wings, whose colors fade on being removed from the sunshine. Heart—A rare article sometimes found in human beings. It is soon, however, desiroyed by commerce with the world, or else becomes fatal to its possessor. Editor—A poor wretch, who every day empties his brains to fill his stomach. Wealth—The most respectable quality in a man. Virtue—An awkward habit of acting differently from other people. A vulgar word. It creates great mirth in fashionable circles. Honor—Shooting a friend through the head, whom you love, in order to gain the praise of a few others whom you despise and hate. In the second, it consists in standing by coolly, arranging the ceremonies of the murder, and witnessing its consummation. Laughier—An agreeable and contagious convulsion of the human countenance on receiving a tailor’s bill, or being asked to return an umbrella. Managers of lotteries—Men who pay the legislature handsomely for the privilege of cheating the people. Law proceedings — Unbrushed cobwebs of the dark ages. Opera—A species of dramatic entertainment to which the audience bring apples and peanuts. Bonnet—A female head-dress for the front seat at the theatre. Cigar—A slender yellow speckled tube, formed of the dried and folded leaves of a wonderful plant, discovered by Raleigh. When women turn false, and men selfish—when your creditor duns you like a fiend, and your debtor HOLE NUMBER 362. bjs The Seraph and the Mortal. FROM THE FRENCH. The theatre in Paris was crowded with a brilliant assemblage to witness the representations of a young girl celebrated for her beauty, virtue, artless innocence, and extraordinary talents.— The critics of that famed metropolis had never witnessed loveliness and genius so universally acknowledged and admired. The highest ranks vied with each other in praising her charms, her wonderful skill in music—the voice which nature had bestowed upon her asa precious gift corresponding with the rare grace of her person and the brilliancy of hes mind. It was whispered abroad that had received offers of marriage from the loftiest in wealth and’ rank—that the choicest spirits of the age courted her society, and were spell-bound by her fascinations. Royalty itself had sanetioned the general opinion. Never had Paris seen an indiyidual whose appearance was greeted with more rapturous acclamations. The opera proceeded, until the scene appeared which was to introduce the heroine. Long before she entered, bursts of applause broke forth in various parts of the eager and dense throng—« there was @ moment’s silence; and a creature, perfectly and exquisitively lovely, suddenly “shone before them, bending with the grace of a summer bud amidst the tremendous peal of the gathered thousands which’ burst forth and died away, and burst forth again and again till the dome trembled and ‘the foundation seemed rent asunder. Amid this tumult of enthusiasm, I stood with folded arms gazing at the yision, which tome seemed to haye floated to the skies. A break of music from the orchestra announced a favorite air, an she came forward to the stage lights to sing. Notin the depths of the green forest in the hush of noon—not in the desert in its wild desolation—not in the dark tomb itself, could reign a silence more perfect than hung over the vast multitude. It seemed as if the light and beautiful being, whose lofty plumes of snow bent down above a radient face, was an enchantress, and by some potent spell had struck each one into a statue, with the coloring and attitude and expression of life. And then when the last notes, which seemed warbled from the throat of 2 nightingale, had passed away, the silence for a moment continued, as if no one dared disturb the air on which yet jrung the most delicious notes ever heard \by mortals. I thought to myself, if fate jwould give such a creature to me!-—— The idea haunted me—I loved her—t was wretched. don. Dismal! I could not believe my own eyes. There was the same face— but all the glory was gone. It was dimmed and obscured. The seraph had sunk into the mortal. It was the sua shorn of his beams. It was the angel fallen, whose brightness was not the same. I had just married an artless girl, whose modesty shrank from every eye but mine,.who could neither dance, a sing, nor, iay on any instrument.— t happened that we embarked together on a voyage of some length. I had every opportunity of judging of the character of my fair enchantress. It was dreadful. I shuddered at the eseape Thad made. How many a man is rendered miserable by falling in love with beauty and accomplishments, intakes the act—when the future looks ~ dark, and the present dreary, by the fragrance of this little instrument, extricated by means of fire, you are fora brief period rendered insensible to every sorrow and lulled into dreams mere entertaining than those of sleep. Satirical poems—Harmless impertinence in verse. . Marriage—The gate through which the happy lover leaves his enchanted visions, and returns to earth. Death—-An ill-bred fellow, who visits psopie at all seasons, and insists upon their immediately returning his call. Author—A dealer in words, who gets paid in his own coin. Friend—aA person who will not assist you because he knows your love will not excuse him. Domestic bliss—A term used by Milton. Bargain—A ludicrous transaction, in which each party thinks he has cheated the other. “ Pil call up some night and see you.” —A phrase of civility which means exactly the contrary. Doctor—A man who kills you to-day to save you from dying to-morrow. Lunatic Asylum—A kind of hospital, where detected lunatics are sent by those who have the adroitness to conceal their own infirmity. Jail—The penalty of misfortune and often the reward of virtue. Water—aA clear fluid, once used ag a drink.—N. Y. Mirror. An Exce.Luent SpeecH.-When Louis the fourteenth visited Rheims, the Mayor of the city brought him several bottles of wine and some fine preserved pears, and addressed him as foliows: “Sire, we offer you our wine, our pears and our hearts, which are the best things our city can boast of.” Louis tapped the Mayor on the shoulder familiarly, and replied, “Mr. Mayor, I thank you heartily for your harangue.”’ A Goop GuNn.—A couniry farmer told a friend of his, who had come from town for a few days’ shooting, that he once had so excellent a gun that it went off immediately upon a thief coming into the house, although not charged. “How the deuce is that?’ said his friend.— » Why,” replied the farmer, “because the thief carried it off; and what was worse, before I had time time to charge him with it.” © {2 It is decidedly provoking to have a fly light on your nose just as the daguerreotypist pulls out his watch and avs “Noy stead of mind or soul! Tin.—The Pheenicians traded with England for this article for more than eleven hundred years before the Christian era. It is said that this trade first gave them commercial importance in the ancient world.’ Under the Saxons, dur tin mines appear to have been ‘neglected; but after the coming in of the Normans, they produced considerable revenues to the Earls of Gornwall, particularly to Richard, brother of Hénry ILI; a charter and various immunities were granted by Edmund, Earl Richard’s brother, whe also framed the stannary laws, laying a duty on the tin, payable to the Earls of Cornwall. Edward III confirmed the tinners in their privileges, and erected Cornwall into a dukedom, with which he invested his son, Edward the Black Prince, 1535.’ Sine that time the heirs apparent to the crown of England, if eldest sons, have enjoyed it successively.

Like nearly all poets, the author has liberally availed himself, in his climax, of the license extended to that class of writers. : Whene’er I see those lovely eyes, Irave—I burn—I dote—I dies. . LeicH Hunt.—The occasion whicl called forth the following lines was this: Leigh Hunt had brought some good tidings to Carlyle, which so delighted Mrs, Carlyle, who was in the roem, that she spiang up from the chair and kissed the “newsman.” Leigh, who is as courtly a gdllant as John Hoope himself, sent her two bettles of apple-jack next morning, with these verses: \Jenny kissed me when we met, Springing from the chair she sat in; Time, you thief who live to get Sweets into your book, put that in!
