Peculiar in Its Originality.

An “obedient servapt” of ours, whoso “P. 0.” is Kentlaiid, Sends us the following “pice of poety” which he claims to have composed, and although “awaro of its nlany defects” he generously gives it for publication “if you think it worthy of a plaso in your most interesting paper.” This o. s. further says if we see ■ any mistakes he hopes wo will “oorext them,” but we confess our inability to improve its peculiar style, and will let it “publication” as it is: “To Carrie M .» Oli: ills is so petty and sweet, With sockloiijr curls and rosy cheeks; With dark (.round hair and light blue eyes, And form extending to the skits! Oh! could I but call tier my own. And love liar like the dark see team. Could i hut press her to my breast. And on her heart forever rest. Then happiness would be mine, No mutter what would be the pain This body would bo made to feel Or loose my mane for want ol veal. But oil! I have not got the skill T<> captivate that InouArch's wifi— Yes, monarch of the uohlis kind, Who ouly.looks to outrun lime. In the future, she hopes to clasp Her Jover to her fond embrace, Who now Is In the foreign climo, And all he loves is left behind.

I fear she is waiting to longs, He inny forget her noble form, His promise break, her ring loose, And get another if ho chooese. And then she’ll wait, and wait invaio, For ino to address her again, For NEVER will I offer her the heart which in this busum beats Toddy. “With form extending to the skies! ” How is that for high?— Now o. s., you gay and festive bird, the best thing lor you to do is to stick to your final resolution and nevkk offer your heart to Lengthy Carrie. Just think of the expense you would have to be at forealieo, hoop-skirts and “sich” if she accepted. Loving “like the dark sea | foam” may sound “petty and sweet” to any one in danger of loosing his “mani for want of veal,” but it strikes us you would find it rather humid exercise after three or four years steady employment, in the business. Ae for Lengthy Carrie’s absent lover, o. 6., don’t fcarhe will “forget hernoble form,” because he wont do it. ‘T wouldn’t ,be in “nater” for him to. It is likely, though, lie may find “her [ ring loose” if her breadth of limb is commensurate with her extent of form, and it wonid be a good idea for him to cash it. at once, “and get another if he chooese,” and continue to travel “in the foreign clime” on the margin.
