WAITING FOR MAY

An, my heart is weary waiting,
Waiting for the May
waiting for the pleasant rambles
Where the fragrant hawthorn brambles,
with the woodbine alternating,
Scent the dewy way
An my heart is tired waiting
Waiting for the May.
All my heart is sick with longing
Longing for the May
Longing to escape from study
10 the fair young face and ruddy,
And the thousand charms belonging
To the summer day:
All my heart is sick with longing,
Longing for the May.
All my heart is sore with sighing.
Signing for the May
Signing for the sure returning
when the summer beams are burning
hopes and flowers that dead or dying
All the winter lay;
An my heart is sore with signing,
Signing for the May.
All my heart is panied with throbbine.
Throbbing for the May
Ihrobbing for the seaside billows,
Or the waterwooing willows,
W here in laughing and in sobbine
Glides the stream away:
An my heart, my heart is throbbing,
Throbbing for the May
Waiting, sad, detected, weary,
Waiting for the May
Spring goes by with wasted warnings,
moonlight evenings, sunbright mornings;
Summer comes yet, dark and dreary.
Life still ebbs away;
Man is ever weary, weary,
Waiting for the May

ROBINS COME.

From the pine-tree's topmost bough,
Hark the robins early song,
Telling one and all that now
Merry sprfng-time hastes along,
Welcome tidings thou dost bring,
Little harbinger of Spring
Robins come.
Of the winter we are weary,
Weary of it's frost and snow,
Longing for the sunshine CHEEKY;
And the brooklet's gurgling flow.
Gladly then we hear thee sing
The rscsiffs of the Spring.
Robins come
Ring il out Ger hill and plain,
Through the gardens lonely bowers.
Till the green leaves dance again,
Till the air is.sweet with flowers:
Wake the eowslip by the riIl,
Wake tue yellow dsfodil
Robins come.
Then, as thou vert wont of yore,
Build thy nest and rear thy young,
i II the pine-tree's branching boughs,
In the woodbine leaves among
Hurt or harm thou need'st not fear,
Nothing rude shall venture near.
Robins come

ALL ABOUT kIssEs.-The girls never grow
weary of kissing-we beg pardon, we. mean
the subject is ever congenial to their taste.
Bat what an absurd idea it is in a man to ask
lady to kiss aim, just as if he, the senseless
being, thought the poor trem bling little crea-
ture was going to do it /! The idea of man
asking for thing SO easily obtained Why,
IL is ridiculous! and man with the least
particle of brains would hoot at the idea
She'd say no till doomsday. And you, poor
beiieyer, would forego the happiness of draw
ing nectar from the rosebud mouth, simply
because you were ignoramous enough to ask
for what you might have taken. There are
ten thousand ways to kiss gir. without ask
ing the privilege. Direct her attention to
something on the table; ask for book which
you know to be there, and whilst she is there,
go with the affected purpose of helping her TO
look for it be particular to get at her left
side-dc you need any more telling If You
do, You do not deserve the kiss that might be
so gracefully taken.
A man who would ask kiss of fair maid
en- ought to be tarred and feathered as a crs-
Ven hearted monster. Don't do it: don't for
goodness sake. ask the girls TO kiss you.
Kiss them if you want 70, but do il like gen.
tlsmens Kiss,them If yoa can.
