Forget that girl’s ensnaring glance— She skims rieht prettily the ce | Her vain, proud airs, and dress, perchance, To halls of mirth are fitting, Joe. But mark my words—with such a wife Tied to thy hand and Purse for life, Thy black and blue days must be rife— So never mind the mitten, Joe. 1 know one —she never wore Upon her fingers golden ore, Embracing pearls and gems a score ; (Mayhep thou’lt think I’m twitting, Joe.) She's rarely at amusement seen . In simple robes, with modest mien, And face and form like beauty’s queen— She never gave the mitten, Joe. ‘For why?” she ne’er with frothy arts Raised idle flames in silly hearts, Then feasted on the d ing smarts Of fools so quickly bitten, Joe. Oh! woo her like a man of sense, Secure such worth and innocence — Forget that tinseled jtit’s offence, And bless her for the mitten, Joe, How raz Mongst May was Mistaken — ‘The Lowell Courier is responsible for the fol- lowing: “In a neighboring city, at Thackeray’s lec- ture, a few evenings since, a youn gentle- man, the modest man of his séx, pe no less polite than modest, was sitting in a pew rather remote from the light. A pretty lady sat next to him. Looking on the floor during the lec- ture, he espied what he thought was the lady’s handkerchief, the lace trimmed edge just visible from under her dress. Turning to his pew mate he gallantly whispered, ‘You've <tropped your handkerchief, madame!” and before she could reply, he proceeded to pick it up. Horror! he had seized the edge of her pet——-séert, and did not discover his mistake until the top of agaiter boot stared him in the face. and the faint sound of a laugh just nipped in the bud by the application of a rea/ hand- kerchief warned him of his mistake. ‘* Moral —Don’t attempt to pick up any- thing with lace to it before you know what it is. ee Masoxic Funerau.—We find in the Albany — an account of the funeral of Narcisse aymond, who had requested, before his death the last honors of the “‘ mystic tie.” On ar- riving at the grave-yard, a circle was formed by the order around the coffin and the solemn and beautiful funeral service of the order was performed by the High Priest of TempleR.

A white lamb skin apron was placed in the coffin and the grand honors were given znd each member passed around the coffin and Aropped in it a sprig of Cassia, emblematical “that though the body moulders in the dust, yet there is a better and immortal part which lives beyond the grave and never dies.’” The coffin was then placed in the vault. The cere- Znonies were solemn and impressive. _ E> They are having sleigh rides by moon- light in Boston now.
