THE BEAU'S SOLILOQUY.
I've washed my face and oiled my hair,
And curled my whiskers too ;
I’ve donned my best light waistcoat,
And my dandy coat of blue :
On one hand Is a violet kid,
On th’other shines a ring ;
And now away with h 'art so gay,
To see dear Laura King.
It’s only what I ought to do,
Because she waited here,
Full of anxious hopes and wishes,
For th’ arrival of her dear;
And when sweet cousin Mary
Refused me an embrace,
She offered, with a laughing air,
To act in Mary’s place.
I’ve mounted an imperial,
Because the i.xdies say
They like them—and I always let
The darlings have their way:
I don’t admire them much myself—
They have a rakish air ;
But to please fastidious ladies
Must be mv chiefcst care.
How many have I flirted with
Since last I saw her face ?
There’s ten at Lady Folly’s ball,
And eighteen at (lie race ;
But now that I’ve come home again,
I think it is no sin
To flirt with cousin Mary,
And charming Laura King.

Bucket Letter.—The Augusta((Ja.)
Constitutionalist, under the head of “ His
torical Question Settled,” contains a com
munication in explanation of the origin of
the term so commonlv used —Bucket Let*
ter.
The author of tho fust “ Bucket Let
ter,’’ was a young, talented and facetious
lawyer, residing in Clinton, Jones county,
and well known to the people of Middle
Georgia, as David I. Holt. licit was a
warm Troup man, in the memorable con
test of 13*25, and was in the habit of writ
ing long and frequent letters to the then
President of the United States, John
Quincy Adntns, signed Edward Bucket.
The letters evinced so much talent, and
displayed such thorough and accurate
knowledge of the questions discussed, that
the President's curiosity was greatly exci
ted to know the author. Tiie correspond
ence was shown to members of Congress
from Georgia, and upon investigation,
David I. Holt was ascertained to be the
author.
The sell was such a good one, that the
members of Congress let out the whole
story, and from that day to this the words
Bucket Letter are always used to describe
a letter signed by a name other than that
of its author.—[Macon (Go.) Telegraph.
The Voice of the Whang-Doodle.
A “ whang-doodle, ” hard shell preacher,
wound up a flaming sermon with this
magnificent peroration :
My brethring and sistern, of a man’s
full of religion you can’t hurt him!—There
was the three Arabian children; they
put ’em in a fiery furnace, betted seven
times better than it could be bet. and it
didn't singe a bar on their heads. And
there was John the Evangeler; they put
him—and where do you think, brethring
and sistern, they put him? Why.'they
put him in a caladionic of filing ile, and
bilod him all night, and it didn’t faze his
shell! And there was Dan’el ; they pul
him into a lion's den, and wliut, my fellow
travelers and respected auditories, do you
think he was put into a lion's den for?
Why, for prayin’ three times a tlay.
Don’t be alarmed, brethring and sistern;

Marry.—Jeremy Taylor says, if you
are for pleasure, marry ; if you prize rosy
health, marry; and even if money be your
object, marry. A good wife is Heaven’s
best gift to man; his angel and minister
of graces innumerable; his casket of many
jewels; her voice his sweetest music ; her
smile his brightest day; her kiss the
guardian of his innocence ; her arm the
pale of his safety, the palm of his life;
her industry his surest wealth ; her econ
omy his surest steward ; her lips his faith
ful counsellors ; her bosom the safest pil
low of his cares; and her prayers the
ablest advocate of Heaven’s blessings on
his head.
