was young lady with bright eyes, very
bright raven ringlets, very dark and ruby
lips, like cherries, and an alabaster neck,

Wasn't she pretty! t.-.
She was niece of some good lady, and
she had had mother-one who was a

jewel OF loneliness in manner to develope
the exceeding grace of nature, pure and
exalted as those blest beings whom in
our dreams of fancy we tondly suppose to
hover about the abodes of innocence and

widely Ignorant of the real nature of the

tried to write poetry, saw beauty in the

was fastened when the fair Katydid step

Sam and Katydid. Let il suffice to say,
