And toas,ed down bill in The snow.

Gave mo her roses Wild,
Ny pretty brown hair curlcd softly,
Ny eyes were bright and mild.

Tall anl slender 70 see;
Aud sung like tll, little robins
That lived in our appl'-ircc.
But Aunt Malone from the city
came DOWN for country air
She thought my checks were painted,
And asked who made my hair.
Aud when she found |, grew there
She called for ink ant pen;
She made her will, and bought me
For the race of titled men,
Goodbye to father and pavill
Good bye o the church-yarl grccn'
If mother had never slept there
Nv grandeur had never been.
I'D rather have stiid bv mother,
Aud seen Jim Bruce mako hay;
But aunt Malone from the city
Carried their Kate away

She hoops me round like n birr,I,
With rings Of bone aud steel,
And wisps Of woven horse hair
A species Of Katharine wheel
They bring rae back from driving.
They dress nv hair anew,
And set INC mp in the parlor,
After my lunch ut Two.
In come men and women
Simper and bow, and smirk,--
Tell me I'm sweet in whisper,
Or talk Of n new French work
How Mrs. Smith, at Newport,
Lost her whole back hair:
And how Miss Jones, in L.nox,
Was burnt by the sun and ulr
Or, with Il solemn litter,
How Mrs. \. and =.
Went out to drive before dinner, .
And mover como home to tea,

The dnndCs slim and iinr,
That scent the house with mllctcurs,
And curl their hair like mine.

Till the tears run down ny face,
Away they go FOR dinner
And go out for muc

Bushes t. be so bare.

And half with smoke and wine.

And think, il Jim should see M,
