EVENING STAR,
THE MAIDEN's CHOICE.
! maid sat by her cottage tree.


A beautiful maid, at the dawn of day:
Her sewing fell idle upon her knee
for hef heart and her thouq hts were far away
Wnen sober old wooer came up the dell,
wooer whose hopes, one would think, were
But maiden's heart is a p1zzle to tell
ana though old his face-yet his coat was new;
And though old his face-yet his coat was new.
The wooer he gave her a wistful look
And wistful, too, were the words he said,
And played with her needle, and knotted the
thread.
He spoke Of the ring and the wedding chime,
He pressed her hand, and he belded his knee
And he begged and implored her to fz the time,
No-go and ask my mother, said she;
Oh, M IL yourself, my darling, said he
No-go and ssk my mother, said she.
Scarce into the house had the wooer gone.
when young man leaned DER a neighborinp
stile,
And sad was the look that youth put one,
And playful and gay was the maiden's smile:
Pray. who is this earle that comes here to WOO {,
And why at your side does he talk so free,
Must ask your mother, dear Mary too!
No, Harry, she whispered, you must ask me
I'D better go In your mother to see
Ne, Harry, no you must kneel and ask MR.
There was wailing one morn at the village church
Waiiing and weeping, and words Of woe
OF the wealthy old wooer was left in the lurch,
Inc maid had gone of with a Younger beau;
warmly the sun on the hedgerow growed,
w armlyit shone on the old farm gate
AS Harry rode of with his welded mate!
Ha ha he cried-ho, no. laughed he
They may wait long while ere the bride they
see!
