THE Low-NEcKED DRESS.
Air" The Low-backed Car"

All" i ne LOW-Dackeu Gar. .s#t
When first saw Miss Clara,
A west-end ball twas at,
A ow-necIed dress she wore, and near
The open door she sat !;
But when that door was thriving oak
Exposed TO tempests keen
And biting air
So much, twas ne'er
As the blooming girl | mean,
As she sat in her low-necked dress,
Becoming, must confess;
For of all the men round
Not one could be found
But looked after the low-necled dress.
The polka's tumult over,
The fondest of mammas @f
Her daughter calls, and hints at shawls
But scornful huns " and "ha's !"
From Clara (artful goddessD
The kind proposal meet 4"
Quite faint she feels
She fairly reels
She never could bear the heat
So she sits in her low-necked dress,
But the heat wonld have troubled her less,
For long weeks will have rolled
Ere she's rid Of the cold
That she caught from the low-necked dress.
J, I'd rather see those shoulders
Meath downy cloak of fur,
Or pilot coat, and round that throat
A ploughman's comforter;
For I'd know that tender bosom
Was safe from climates i'll,
And the heart so sweet
Would much longer beat
Than now feel sure il will
While she clngs to her low-necked dress;
I've proposed, and she answered 'yes."
Next week it's 10 be,
But make sure shall see
That it's not in the low-necked dress

BY ALFRED EVELYN.

There's not brook that sings beneath the SUM-
As onward, joyous, il doth seek the sea;
There's not a flower, that slumbers meath the
moon,
But in its dreams doth breathe thought of thee
There's not star that, shining bright, doth look
Upon the earth, when summer night steels on
There's not smile, fountain. song, or brook,
But in il, love, thought of thee is born.
There's not voice, low, thrilling, melting, sweet
That falls, like music, on thenrapiured ear,
But thy tones image in its sounds meet:
All breathes Of thee-tne sigh, the smile, the
tear!
There's not star that shines in Heaven bright
There's not smile or lustrous eye see;
There's not morn, or noon, or dreamy night,
But softly breathes, my only love, fthee!

tons of coal The Lackawana, which opened in
