One evening in October
Such business was to him quite new,

So when be reached his charmer's house,
He sat him in the corner;
His Dolly was a buxom blouse
By no means did he scorn her.
This maiden with her father dwelt-
! She was her mothers daughter
And as John eazed, he "kind o. felt
Al Over kind o. sort o."
All in her, best she was arrayed,
For John was her first suitor
He swore she was as 'scuie as lie
Perhaps little cutter r'
That is, unto himself he swore,
For ne'er word was spoken;
they sal for three good hours or more,
And silence was unbroken.
Her lille heart went pitta-pat,
A nd he felt dreadful queery

Yet spoke not 10 his deary.

He looked al and admired
The crimson on her cheek so fair,
With love his heart inspire.
He hem'd and haw'd, and tried to speak,
For he was growing bolder
But still his courage was 100 weak
"His love he never told her"
ImpaIien'ly did Dolly wait
For him TO speak unto her,
Until twas growing rather late
Aud thus did Johnny WOO her.
At length his Dolly fell asleep,
And John though. he'd be going
