THE LOVERS.

m DIFFEEENT MOODS AND TEASES. Sally Suiter, she was a young teacher, who taught, Aud her friend Charley Church was a preacher who praught! Though his enemies called him a screecher, who scraught. His heart, when he saw her, kept sinking, and sunk ; And his eye, meeting hers, began winking, and wunk • While she, in her turn, fell to thinking, and thunk. He hastened to woo her, and sweetly he woo'd, Eor his love grew until to a mountain it grew'd, And what he was longing to do, then he do'd. In secret ho wanted to speak, and he spoke, To seek with his lips what his heart long bad soke ; So he managed to let the truth leak, and it loke. He ask'd her to ride to the church, and they rode ; They so sweetly did glide that they both thought they glodc. Aud they came to the nlace to be tied, aud were tode. Then homeward, he said, let us drive, aud they drove, Aud soon as they wished to arrive they arrove; For whatever he couldn't contrive she controve. The kiss he was dying to steal, then he stole; At the feet where he wanted to knsel, then he knole; And he said, " I feel better than ever I fole." So they to each other kept clinging, and clung, While Time his swift circuit was winging, and wung ; And this was the thing he was bringing, and brung:

The man Sally wanted to catch, and had caught. That she wanted from others to snatch, and had snaught— Was the one she now liked to scratch, and she scraught.

And Charley's warm love began freezing, and froze, 'Whilo ho took to teaming, and cruelly toze The girl he had wished to be squeezing, and squoze.

•' Wretch!" he cried, when she threatened to leave him, and left, " How could you deceive mo as you have deceit ? " Aud she answer'd" " I promised to cleave, and I've cleft! "

The 13th Hussara have long prided themselves on the possession of a mare of'mature age, but of great interest, owing to her being one of the few remaining horses that took part in the celebrated charge of Balaklava. During the last few days this animal has been sent from Colchester to the Eoyal Mows at Buckingham Palace, for presentation to the Queen. The animal, which belonged to the Colonel, who is aboutsleaviug the regiment, is said to be 27 years of age.
