The Polka,
"Oh, Woman !"-sIR WALTER rcorr.

Oh Susan! swells the orchestra the very music now
Which long ago deprived Of life our venerable COW;
jump, jerk, scrape, a whirl, and then
spring
'Tis what they call the polka, love come won't
you try the thing?"
OF course, she will +; who ever knew maiden at
Refuse chance to spread herself and wigglc round
the hall?
So, her little taperng, dexter hand in his is gently
placed,
Her left upon his shoulder, and his right about her
waist
Around which softly stealing each wanton finger
strays!
And counts the Welding whalebone in her palpa-
ting stays!
Her heart 'gainst his is beatng-cracks the crystal
in his vest,
And like mostcned napkin she has fallen on his
breast;
The roses on her cheeks grow pale, save the pink
ones which she paints
And admiring matrons watch the while how grace
fully she faints
Then ply with all their chivalry," for fear she'll
miss the waltz,
Their fans, their fuss and feather fumes their sym.
pathy and salts,
So, she soon revives to teach again her fascinated
swains
Like love and whisky, polkang s always turning

the Pope of Rome, provided they have the
