" A jest's prosperity lies in the ear. Of him that hears it never in the tongue Of him that makes it." Love's Lahob Lost. From Ned Bunlline's Own. The Spell of Love. There is rich music In the heart tuned to the melody of love, Which breathes upon the world a strain, that wakes In kindred souls harmonious response ! Tenderly it sweeps, in whispered zephyrs, O'er the harp of the affections'; waking Its chords from soft and dreamy slumbers, To thrill and vibrate with the spell of wild " And rapturous enchantment ; which severs it From that which is contaminate and base, And guides its aspirations to the source . Of purity, which is symbolled in creation ! The soul, Thus wakened to the voice of love, sees beauty In the tiny flower, whose fragrant petals Emblem the snows of innocence and loves it For its teachings. ! It sees wild grandeur in the towering mount, Whose sturdy breast gives battle to the storm; While on its head there rests a crown of radiant Glory, which points ambition heavenward ! It finds enjoyment When, with spirit wing, it floats o'er ocean's Heaving bosom ; seeking with Fancy's eye To pierce its deep heart of mystery ; And listening to the ceaseless beatings Of a pulse whose last the Archangel's voice Will hush in sleep eternal ! In the trackless wood, Where solitunde holds undisputed sovreignty 'Midst labyrinths of shade, it hears The myriad voices of the leaves, exchange Assurances of love with kissing zephyrs ; And behold the little brook meander Onward o'er its pebbled bed, giving its pure And limpid drops, to nourish the sweet flowers Which grow upon its brink, while tenderly

They look into its bosom with their pure eyes of love ! i In moonlight's softened hour The soul is wrapped in Love's own mantle, And holds converse with the angel spirits That float round it, leaving their gentle breath Distilled in crystal drops within the lily's cup ; And fanning with their soft wings the brow of care, Until it sinks in gentle undisturbed repose To Find at last the treasure of contentment ! Souls that can hear, and see and feel The beautiful in nature, and find a bliss Unspeakable in the pure interchange of heart With those they love, when the pent emotions Are breathed out in sighs of rapture, telling Their deep idolatry, live in a world Of music too harmonious to be marred By the discordant notes of slander's Venomed tongue and wear a golden chain Linked by the artistic hand of Him Whose nature and whose name is Love ! Carola.

Not long since a minister stepped into a house-

so the papers say and found a lady making a bustle. ' He asked what she was making that bustle for 1 She said she intended to wear it to preaching next Sunday. You don't intend to wear that bustle to church V asked the man of Israel. I don't intend to wear any thing else !' replied the fair one. 'Don't grumble, Bill, there's a good time coming,' said a nogro, who was up to his eyes in business, storing freight on the cars at the Ponchartrain railroad depot. ' Yes, Masser,' said Bill, 4 but is a long time a comin. Who-wh-o-y does'nt you send the Locomotive for it, and fortch it here at once V

Too Good to be Lost. I heard' of a case of extreme modesty the other day, so extreme that it could not be understood. A lady went into Thornley's India Rubber store, and inquired of the fascinating T. ' Have you any elegy encirclers V ' What did you say, ma'am?' said the store keeper, slightly confounded. ' Elegy encirclers,' repeated the lady with ablush. Thornley looked round the store, first at the great pile of India rubber, then at guttapercha, then at india rubber cloth, and so on, but without seeing anything corresponding to the name. 4 You're sure it3 made of India rubber,' said Mr.

T., inwardly declaring nothing was made of that article he had not seen. ' Oh, yes,' replied the lady. ' Do you see anything like it?' at length returned the bewildered fellow.

The lady looked round the well filled store, and at length her eyes rested upon a box, which she blushingly pointed to. What do you suppose it contained ? Garters. She was soon helped to a pair, and as she took her leave it all at once occurred to Mr. Thornley that garters were L-eg encirclers. t ' Proposals for carrying the mails !' exclaimed Mrs. Partington, in a tone of virtuous indignation, as she happened to glance over an advertisement in one of the papers. 'Has it come to this, that us poor unfortunate female critters are to be made beasts of burden, are to carry about a pack of good-for-nothing male men on our backs? She threw down the paper and rose hastly from the chair, and took snuff at a prodigious rate ; highly excited at the degrading proposition. , Miss Matilda Muggs has put a fresh shingle at her shop door, in one of the western cities, with this announcement : .

meny iither artikles tu nummurous to mension, all

A Good Toast. ' New England's fair daugh

ter's : Industry and virtue being their inheritance,

they blush on being kissed by the rising sun in the

morning, and are not ashamed of being kissed by

the sitting son in the evening. Said Anna's preceptor, ' a kiss is a noun But tell me if common or proper,' he cried ; With cheeks of Vermillion, and eyelids cast down,

'Tis both common and proper,' his pupil replied.

A new patent stove, for the convenience of trav

elers, has just been invented. It is placed under

the feet, and a mustard plaster upon the head draws

the heat through the whole system.

Flowers. Mrs. Child beautifully says that she

has often thought flowers were the alphabet of

angels, whereby they write, on hills and plains,

mysterious truths. Great men are like planets; which to their in

habitants seems like nothing but a lump of dirty earth, while to those who view them from a distance

they appear like brilliant luminaries.

A Sweet Command. ' Now put that right back where you took it from !' as the girl said when her lover snatched a kiss. Fulness of Joy. A man observed to his wife, that she was beautiful, dutiful, youthful, plentiful, and an armful.

" t A precocious younster being asked how many genders there were, replied, . , ' Three sir the masculine, the feminine, and the nutral.' ' Very well done, 'my son; now go on to define them.' ' The masculine is men, and the feminine is wo men, and the neutral is old maids and politicians.' Sunday Civility. Have you not mistaken the psw, sir ?' blandly said a Sunday Chesterfield to a stranger, as he entered it. ' I beg pardon,' replied the stranger, rising to go out. ' I fear I have I took it for a Christian's.'
