 CoMSTANOB.— When he is here I sigli with pleasure, 
 When he is gone I sigh with grief. 
 My hopeless fear no soul can measore, 
 His love alone can give my aching heart 
 
 relief I 
 When he is cold, I weep for sorrow, 
 When he is kind, I weep for joy. 
 My grief untold knows no to-morrow,— 
 My woe can find no hope, no solace, no 
 alloy 1 
 
 When I rejoice, he shows no pleasure, 
 When I am sad, it grieves him not. 
 His solemn voice has tones I treasure — 
 My heart tliey glad, they solace my un- 
 happy lot I 
 When I despond, ray woe they chasten, 
 When I take heart, my hope they cheer ; 
 With folly fond to him I hasten — 
 Prom him apart, m^ life is very sad and

 Had I a cold ? well'd forth the silent tear ; 
 
 Did I look pale? then half the parish

 And when I coughed all thought the end

 I had no care — no jealous doubts Lang

 Of your young life be pleasant as the foreground— 
 The joyous foreground I slu<\ when you have reached it

 But which will then become the iaiddle distance, 
 In fruitful promise be exceeded only 
 By that which will have opened in the meantime, 
 Into a new and glorious horizon I 
 
 Sib M.— Dear sir, that is an excellent example 
 Of an old school of stately compliment 
 To which I have, through life, been much addicted. 
 Will you obleege me with a copy of it, 
 In clerkly manuscript, that I myself 
 May use it on appropriate occasions? 
 
 Db. D.— Sir, you shall have a fairly- written copy 
 Ere Sol has suck into his western slumbers 1 
 
 Sir M.— Come, come, my son, your fiancee will be here in 
 five minutes. Bouse yourself to receive her.

 All is prepar'd for sealing and for Bignin?, 
 The contract has been drafted as agreed.

 With heart and with voice, 
 Let us welcome this mating ; 
 Leave them here to rejoice, 
 With true love palpitating 
 Alexis the brave.

 Alexis.— At last we are alone I My darling, you are now 
 irrevocably betrothed to me. Are you not very, very

 Aline.— Oh Alexis, can you doubt it? Do I not love you 
 beyond all on earth, and an I not beloved in return ? 
 Is not true love faithfully given and faithfully returned 
 the source of every earthly joy ? 
 
 Alexis— Of that there can be no doubt. Oh, that the 
 world could be persuaded of the truth of that maxim I 
 Oh, that the world would break down tiie artificial 
 burners of rank, wealth, education, age, beauty, habits, 
 taste, anrl temper; ana recognize the glorious princi- 
 pie, that m marriage alone is to be found the panacea 
 for every ill. ^ 
 
 Aline.— Continue to preach that sweet doctrine, and you 
 will succeed, oh, evangel of true happiness 1 
 
 Alexis.— I hope so, but as yet the cause progresses but 
 slowly. Still I have made some converts to the princi- 
 ple, that men and women should be coupled in matri- 
 mony without distinction of rank. I have lectured on 
 the subject at Mechanics' Institutes, and the Mechanics 
 were unaniraousin favor of my views. Ihave preached 
 in workhouses, beershops, and Lunatic Asylums, and 
 I have been received with enthusiasm. I have ad- 
 dressed navvies on the advantages that would accrue to 
 them if they married ladies of rank, and not a navw 
 dissfluted 1 '

 Mb. Wells. — Yes sir, we practice Necromancy in all its 
 branches. We've a choice assortment of wiahiny-caps, 
 divining-rods, amulets, charms, and counter-charms. 
 We can cast you a nativity at a low figure, and we have 
 a horoscope at threeand-six that we can gaarintee. 
 Our Abudah chests, each containing a patent Hag who 
 comes oufc aud prophecfes disasters, with spring com- 
 plete, are strongly recommended. Our Aladdin lamps 
 are very chaste, aud our Prophetic Tablets, foretelling 
 ftverything— from a change of Ministry down to a rise 
 m Turkish Stock— are much enquired for. Our Penny 
 Curses— one of the cheapest things in the trade— is 
 considered infallible. We have some very Superior 
 Blessings, too, but they are very little asked for. We've 
 only sold one since Christmas— to a gentleman who 
 bought it to send to his mother-in-law— but it turned 
 out that he was afflicted in the head, and it's been re- 
 turned on our hands. But our sale of penny Curses, 
 especially on Saturday nights, is tremendnous. We 
 can't turn 'em out fa^t enough.

 Albxib. — I have sent for you to consult you on a very ini' 
 portant matter. I believe you advertise a Patent Oxy- 
 Hydrogen Love-at-flrst-sight Philtre? 
 
 Mr. Wells. — Sir it is onr leading article. 
 
 Alexis. — Now, I want to know if you can confidently guar- 
 antee it as poRsessing all the qualities you claim for ift 
 in your advertisement ? 
 
 Mb. Wells.— Sir, we are not in the habit of puffing oar 
 goods. Ours is an old estaolished house with a large 
 family connection, and every assurance held oat in the 
 advertisement is fully realized. 
 
 Alike.— Oh, Alexis, don't offend him t He'D change us into 
 something dreadful — I know he will. 
 
 Alexis. — I am auxioas from purely philanthropical motives 
 to distribute this philtre, secretly, among the inhabi* 
 tauts of this village. I shnl!, of course, require a 
 quantity. How do you sell it ? 
 
 Mb. Wells — In buying a quantity, sir, we should strongly 
 advise your taking it in the wood, and drawing it off as 
 you happen to want it. We have it in four and 
 a-iialf and nine-gallon casks — also in pipes and hogs- 
 heads for laving down, and we deduct 10 per cent, for 
 prompt cash. 
 
 Aline. — Oh Alexis, surely you don't wan't to lay any down I 
 
 Alexis. — Aline, the villagers will ossemble to carouse in » 
 few minutes. Go and fetch the tea-pot. 
 
 Aline. — But Alexis — 
 
 Alexis.— My dear, you mast obey me if yoa please. Go and 
 fetch tlte tea-pot. 
 
 Aline. — I'm sure Dr. Daly would disapprove of it. 
 
 Alexis. — And how soon does it take effect? 
 
 Mb. Wells. — In half an hour. Whoever drinks of it falls 
 in love, as a raatt^'r of course, with the first lady he 
 meets who has also tasted it, and his affection Is at 
 once returned. One trial will prove the fact. 
 
 Alexis.— Good : then, Mr. Wells, I shall feel obliged if yon 
 will at once poor as much philtre into this tea-pot 
 as will suffice tc affect the whole village.

 CJ0M8TANCB.— I know not why I love him so; 
 
 It is enohaotment surely. 
 
 He's dry and snuffy, deaf and slow, 
 
 Ill-tempered, weak and poorly. 
 
 He's ugly and absurdly dressed, 
 
 And sixty-seven nearly, 
 
 He's everything that I detest, 
 
 But if the truth must be confess'd. 
 
 They'll soon employ a marriage bell, 
 
 To say that we're united. 
 
 I do confess, in anxious care 
 
 My humbled spirit vexes, 
 
 And none will bless example rare 
 
 Of their beloved Alexis. 
 Chobos.— Oh joy, oh joy 1 
 
 No words can tell 
 
 Our state of mind delighted. 
 
 For girl and boy a marriage bell, 
 
 Will say that we're united, 
 
 True happmess reigns everywhere, 
 
 And dwells with both the sexes ; 
 
 All will bless example rare 
 
 Of their beloved Alexia. 
 
 AxiMB.— How joyful they all seem in their new-found hap- 
 piness. The whole village has paired oflf in the happi- 
 est manner. And yet not a match has been made that 
 the hollow world would not consider ill-advised. 
 
 Am!xis.— But we are wiser— far wiser— than the world 
 Observe the good that will oome of these ill-assorted 
 unions. The laiserly wife will check the reckless ex- 
 
 Eenditure of her too frivolous consort— the wealthy 
 usband will shower innumerable bonnets on his pen- 
 niless bride, and the young and lively spouse will'oheer 
 the deohnmg days of her aged partner with comio'sonca 
 unceasing. ^

 ALEXis.-Thou hast tbe power thy vaunted love 
 To sanctify all doubt above, 
 
 Despite thy gathering shade ; 
 lo make that love of thine so sure 
 Xhat, come what may, it must endure 
 Till time itself snail fade. 
 Thy Jove is but a flower 
 That fades withir the hour. 
 If sufih thy love, oh shame! 
 Call it by other name — 
 It is not love. 
 
 Thine i» t.he power, and thine alone- 
 To place me ou so proud a throne 
 That kings might envy me ; 
 A priceless throne of love untold, 
 More rare than orient pearl and gold. 
 But no, thou would'st be free. 
 Such love is like the ray 
 • That dies within the day; 
 If such thy love, oh, shame. 
 Call it by other name — 
 It IS not love.
