Ho, Mister Ed wards have you ceased to woo? Has your heart failed you ere you not half through? There is an adage suits you to a hairThat a faint heart ne'er won a lady fair. So screw your courage up and pick your flint. And when you're happy—thank me for the hint.

tlr tfc

Yes, my sweet youth methlnks I hear you say "Westward the star of thy love takes its wayIt shines in Springfield—may It soon return And warn the fronen heart of Thomas Bourne."

And, as a blushing bride, bring Sophia back.

What heart could ever have withstood The witching eyes of Mart ha Wood: The first bright glance completely won me— The second look nas quite undone me. Turn then those beaming eyes away— Or. dearest Martha, bid me stay And learn to bear their glorious light By basking in it day and uight.

"Society Lqng Ago.

WOOD.

Fanny is a glorious girl. Much I love her—dare I woo her? Would she frown upon my suit

Should I venture to pursue her? Here I drink her happinessToast her in a goblet brimming— May I win her love and wear

On my heart this rose of women?

tfci*

Do Doctor Wood's sweet thoughts incline Towards the sbsent Caroline? Or has the current of affection Found out of late a new direction? At all events, dear Doctor Wood You ought to marry, if you could, For wives rich fees and practice bring. And single doctors ain't the thing.

JENCKE8.

I dare not love thee—but thy gentle words Can stir within my heart a font of tears— And wake the echo of mv heart's deep chords liike some dear melody of early years, I dare not love theo—but thy image seems

A living radiance of my spirit giveu, For oh, I picture thee in all my dreams Of bliss on earth or blessings in heaven?

PATTERSON.

Friend Chambers, a word of advice 'entre nous* Don't you know that this love at a distance won't do? That this sighing in secret and never revealing The depth of your passion—the warmth of your feeling Won't win the sweet smiles of the daughters of Eve, For they jest nt your sighs and laugh loud when you grieve? But confess and embrace—they'll not take it amiss— And by way of clincher—be sure that you kiss.

CLARK.

The glorious Martha Ellen?

In all my day and night dreams I can see her— Her blue eyes floating in its own clear light,— Her soft cheok bright as an illuminated gem— Her red lips parted in their mirth—her smile lieaming like sunshine from each lineament, Her light step bounding over the summer flowers In very joyousnoss, as if she were a Snlrlt of the morning, or (•ilad creature of the air. Here's a heart, ladies, just look at and feel it, Soft and elastic from

ju he toe to the heel of it.

What shall I say of it? Shall I extol it, or Simply assert, 'tis the heart of young Molitar? Whoever takes it, his willing hand goes with it— Quickly decide, for he wants to dispose of it.

vi«

Keep, Mary dear, thy maiden piece, still calm and fancy free For God forbid^ thy gladsome heart should grow less glad for me. Yet while thy heart is still unwon, oh, bid not mine to rove, Hut let it nurse its humble faith and uncomplaining love. If these, preserved for patient years, at last avail me not. Forget me then—but ne'er believe that thou canst be forgot? tfe

The undersigned proposes now to marry— He wants a wife and has no time to tarry, So, Indies all, pray listen to his vows And say which oueof you will be his spouse. One at a ime—speak quick—he's In a flurry— Who will accept the heart of Thomas Murray?

Here's Be men too. the same calm, collected, Cool, Impudent vsrlet as ever. With a heart not one title affected

By the utmost girls may endeavor.

He wanders from post unto pittar. Mischievous, and saucy and pert, And has turned out a sad i*dy killer—

A genuine masculine flirt.

Forgive me Mary, if I speak too wildly But hou art fair as some bright, winged dream That wanders down from Eden's blessed bowers And folds its starry plumes within the soul Of musing ban! or sculptured forms like thine Oft paws at eve before the half closed eye— They glide tike shadows o'er oor oaths or bend From the soft edgings on a moonlit cloud And beckon to the sky. or rarely come Like thee to beautify our homes and hearths With their abiding smiles.

A has been unable to discover the authorship of the following rhymes, but it commends them as indicative of the character of the society of the Prairie City 4!^^^ when written, over forty years ago. Many names that are mentioned here, are still. •!L familiar in society and business, and tfce author of these lines, that were writteu for gj a party at that time, deserves to be remembered as a rhymster of more thanj ordinary merit: ,,

HAGER.

Dear Ellen, on your sweet and pretty face Love has yet failed to leave a single trace, Will your gay joyous heart be never won? Of all your lovers will you smile on none? Let your bright eye with love's emotion glisten, And when our vows are paid, dear Ellen, listen.

WOOD.

Margaret I 'would be thine? .*.• ,• My world in thee to centre, With all its hopes, cares, fears, and loving thought,

No wish bevond the home where thou shouldst enter. Ever anew to find thy presence brought My heart best joy—through life's wild hurly-burly

To have thee by my side—Sam Early.

As turns the flower to meet the sun, Even though when clouds and storms arise It be not shown upon, v" Thus doth my spirit turn to thee, My guiding star o'er life's wild sea." a

I offer the heart of the younger Conard: Who bids? 'Tis a tough one—smooth, icy, and hardUninjured by flaws—ripe for an impression— And ne'er before out of the owner's possession. How much shall I have? it is offered to bidders Among the sweet maidens and tender young widders, And I Know the terms will the purchaser suit, For who'er buys the heart, gets the body to boot.

HANNAH.

There's the facetious Miss Bement, whose calm and quiet heart, Wrapped in its triple coat of ice, yields not to Cupid's aart— Who laughs at love's delicious words and jests when lovers swear, And treats a fond proposal as a comical affair. H?r time will come—she yet will know that most delightful hour, When even her proud heart will bow to love's bewitching power.

Think not fair lady, silent love, when voiceless and unknown, Doth not exist in many a heart whose love no worth has shown. Mine lives and breathes and has its life in Mary's beaming eye— A glance from her can bid it live—a glance can bid it die,.

From a land of thrift, sweet William cameA Yankee born, he is still the same— So his native instinct prompt to feel He takes a share at the "Spinning Wheel."

Miss Abbv Cruft, I want to know What makes you bother Murray so?— His heart is in a dreadful flutter. He hangs on every word yon utter, And gazes on your every motion With an unwearied devotion. Take pity on him—ease his pa in And cheer him with your smiles again. 1-1 V.,':

Nippert was once thought tender-hearted, But love and he, I fear have parted. Whether his lady's gone away— Or whether he thought love wouldn't pay— He only knows—but ladies, try him, One tender smile is sure to buy him.

What damsel's disposed, heart and soul to embark On the voyage of life with Lieutenant Scott Clark? Let her speak out her wishes his heart is still free, And he's ready to love her, whoever she be.

CRUFT.

I need not praise thee, Lucia, thou hast heard Within the circle of thy bright sphere Full many a deeply fond and flatteriug word

Breathed In a whisper in thy gentle ear. Praises of thee would best become the quill or the fond beguiling tongue of Dr. Diiler.

When will your turn come, Master Walter, ••••*. To wear the matrimonial halter? Of all your set there's scarcely one But what the fatal deed has done, And yielded up his single life. And taken the burden of a wife. So, marry quick, ere yoM-h departs You have the choice of sundry hearts. Look at that quiet littl The modest and retirir All violet like, the prel Blushes and blooms in sile*. ^hade, And hides her sweetness in orner Where none may see but Master Warner.

Martha Ellen and Jacob area well matched pair, A couple whose like you will find very rare, And folks may approve, or may try to make sport of it. But they'll come together—that's the long and short of It.

SOME RHYMING LINES THAT WERE TOLD AT A PARTY IN TERRE HAUTE OVER FORTY YEARS AGO.

Hi iH I

LINTON.

Have you yet learned how woman's hand smoothes. The rugged path of life, my young friend Booth. How her bright smile can cheer—ner eye can light The gloomiest hour, the darkest cloud of night? Learn it betimes—and though your heart be caught, Such knowledge cannot be to dearly bought.

The professor is here, in the language wise, But 1 doubt if he's learned in the language of eyes, He's skilled^in thfe sciences too, but I'll bet,, ,, The science of love is unknown to him vet. But I'll vouch when he learns them, he'll say that such knowledge Is sweeter than any he gathered at college.

SI'S The flaxen-haired, sweet little Carry, Wins all hearts by her beauty's fond spell, yV

But she seems disinclined yet to marry, 'Tis so pleasant to reign as a belle. Yet I'd like to prefer this petition-

That when flirting has lost its sweet savor. And she wishes to change her condition, C" Sh^d deign to decide in my favor.

Here's Puzzer Ned, whose heart is so capacious For one fair image 'tis by far too spacious, But, sailor-like, makes his courtship short, And wins a lady-love in every port. So watch him, ladies, guard your hearts with care, And of his winning words and witching ways beware. 5

DANALD8ON

..m: Dear Sally D., 'twas very wrong 5 To stay away from us so long. Your ever smiling face is one

We all delight to look upon, Your gay light heart—your spirit gladness Have often won our souls from sadness, So make your mind up here to tarry— You have your choice—whom will you marry?

ifc

Gentle beautiful Miss Lucy, Love with you has ne'er been busy, But your charms have made us dizzy—

Set our fancies in a whirl.

Still we hope, that when you're older, Time, fond passion's sure unfolder. May make you warmer—lovers bolder—

Aud we may win your heart, sweet girl.

And Liz and her sweetheart, like Leah And the patriarch Jaccb of old, Are still wooing and waiting to see a

Good time when their love may be told. But when both are so ready and willing, And love burns so bright in each breast, Why not put au end to their billing,

And like birds, go to make their nest?

Call me dear names, Ellen—call me thine own Speak to me always In love's low tone! Let not thy look nor thy voice grow cold Let my fond worship thy being unfold Love me forever, ana love me aloneCall me dear names, Ellen—call me thine own

If my heart could be warmed by the beaming looks And the sunny smiles of the sweet Miss Brooks If my prayer could achieve the glorious prize Of gazing forever in her bright eyes— jr If I dared to impress on that snowy brow The kiss of affection—the seal of my vow— If my ardent love could convince Miss Carry I really believe I'd cpnsent to marry.

I Jqve ^e^aia^I not? The moon rf

That see'6 me from her calm above-— The wind that waves her dim soft tune

About me, know how much I love.

Naught else, save night and the lonely hour E'er heard my passion wild and strong Even thou yet deem'st not of thy power,

Unless—thou read'st aright my song.

WILLIAMS.

What maid does Warner love the best?— There is Carry buzzing round him— Mary's charms have also bound him Till his heart can know no rest Fanny showers her dark locks o'er him Margaret, Mary, kneel before him, Casting forth such beams of blue As needs must pierce him thro' and thro', Bless the man what will be do?

Farewell! I shall not be to thee More than a passing thought, For every time and place will be

With thy remembrance fraught. Farewell! though we have often met— We may not meet again, But on my heart the seal is set,

Love never sets in vain.

tfc %lr

How deep—how merciless the love represt,. That robs the silent midnight of rest That sees in gathered crowds but one alone That bears in mingled footsteps only one, That turns the poet's page, to only And Some mornful image for itself designed That seeks in music, but the plaintTng tone Which secret sorrow whispers in its own. Alas for the fond heart, when love is there, Its comrade and its confidant, despair. Can affection's chain be trusted When its dearest links have rusted? Can hopes be again believed When the sweetest have deceived? Nothing now to me seems sure, Love, I know, will not endure.

'"'I

Ladies, take warning—there's no use trying To angle with the charms for Mister Ryan. His flint is fixed—he seeks no more to roam But finds his place of worship nearer home,. Narcissus-like, he regulates his looks From the reflection of the gentle Brooks..

4iS a query I scarcely dare unfold— But the whispered answer shall not be told, Does the course of true love run smooth f*, 'Twixt Margaret Wood and Newton Booth?'' iiiiK

Who listened to the wedding tongue Of that gay Medicos, Steve Young? (Dr. With one sweet love he's not content— Flirtation is his element. "And like a bee, in summers hour He sips the sweet from every flower.
