MOI one of your make believe Spanish grandees,
Who ply our dsughi ers with lies and candies,
Until the poor GIRLS believe them.
No he was no such charla,an-
Full Of gssconsde and bravado,

But irregular rich Don E-tsban

He owned the rental OF half Havana
Aud all Matsnzas and Santa Anna,
Rich as he waa, could hardly hold
A candle 10 light The mines Of gold
Our Cuban pOsseesed, choke full Of diggers;
And broad plantations, that, in round figures,
Were stocked with at least five thousand niggers!

To capture the beautiful Princess May,
With his battery of treasure;
Velvet and lace she should not lack:

And come and go at her pleasure;

Enough to fill peck measure

At once, but Ike crafty old Don,
Who many heart had fought aud won,
Kept bidding little higher;
And every time lie made his bid
And what che said, and all they did

For the good of the town,
BY Jeems, of The Dairy Flyer.
A cosch and horses, you d think, would buy
For the Don, an easy victory;
But slowly our Princess yielded
A diamond necklace caught her eye,
But d wreath Of pearls first made her sigh.
She knew the worth of each maiden glance,

She led the Don deuce OF dance,
In spite Of the wealth he welded.
She stood such a fire of silks and laces,
Jewels, and golden dressing-cases,
And ruby brooches, and Jets and pearls,
That every one of her dainty curls
Brought the price Of hundred common girl;
Folks thought the lass demented
But at last wonderful diamond ring,
A regulsr Kohl roor, did the thing,
And, eighirg with love, OF something the same,
