A Warning KK5 Nell Oh! Nellie was a bonnie lass , And she was fair to see, With yentian eyes and ehestnzlt ewrls A nd saucy dimples three. And she had suitors by the score Who for her siyhed and pined, Hut to eaeh, she made the same reply: You are not to my mind. For, M r. A. was deaf, she said, And Mr. Ii. was lame, And Nr. C. talked, oh! so much, And D. 'zeas deadly tame,--- And IDr.'E. was quite too stout A nd Itev. I . too thin: She seorned a j udye of hiyh deyree: II e had a double ehin! She said to me quite truthfully, And looked me in the eye, H You know I might hare married you, ! But for that blood-red lie. ' And all her friends did zearniny yire, Ah, Nell! you sad eoquelte, I f you make fun of all the men You'll die an old maid yet. Hut she tossed her curly h ead and lauyhed. 'She Icneze a tlliny or tzeo, A nd the man just after her oven mind IIad never come to 1eoo.' For the man I fa'ed, she said eya-ln, M ust be the man I need, And I must see in him no fault, Of words or loolcs or deed. Uh! Iaelc-a-day, and laelc-at-day, It makes me sad to tell The dreadful punishment that came Upon our naayhty Nell! For the rery day that Dr. X. Appeared upon the seene, A total blindness fell on her, I ncnrable, I ween! So blind -was she she could not see That the IJr's. ears were biy, That his nose was lony and crooked, loo, lSome say he wore a zeiylj She lhouyht he had a splendid face C7'ho' his eyes were crossed, 'tis tru: B She thought-for oh! she was so bl ind That they were IIeaeen's own blue So when he came a-wooing her, Dear bonnie N ell, so blind, She pat her hand in his and said: Y0u're exactly to my mind. A nd hon' the rillaye yosszfps talhed. As only yossips can, What ran she see to lore, we pray, I 'n that yreat hideous man? But ah! you lenoze the truth is this, She eozdd not see at all: 'Tleas a. judgment on sweet. saucy Ne .ind she married him that fall. And she is yet the happiest wife, And will always be, I know, For sh.e'll be blind until she dies, Don lfupid made her so. L'EN VOI. N me all ye maids who lauyh. at men, List lo this lale I tell, Lest you should too be stricken blind, II ark to my zearniny CIO Nell.

ROYAL, D. M. Poou-1, A. Moon:-1, L We had heard so much of old Virginia That we longed to come and see Why this State in our dear Southland Should claim to be better than we. Hearing so much of the F. F. V., What a wonderful people they seemed to be, We boarded our train, and surprise to me Found nothing but plain folks, same as we. So,-we entered the College and were destined to stay, With hope and ambition of more learning each dayg We like these people in a general way, But Virginia can't touch Carolina to-day.
