Twas Ait A. DRE,Ml--The old maid
sat in her old arm chair, with balfclosed
eyes and pensive air, and without q blush
on her maiden face, fell into old 'Mur-
phys" sweet embrace, She dreamed
that husband kind and true her form
10 his side so gently drew, while in &C
cents gentle, clear and slow, he called
her the dearest name below. A fire was
kindled upon the hearth, while the tea.
kettle sung merrier lay than it had
whistled for many day. New light was
diffused in the old maids heart, as she
felt her loneliness depart; the table was
spread, all clean and new, and plates
and saucers and chairs for two.
Here the poet kindly pauses for the
iaudable purpose of prolonging the ''old
critters" bliss But to resume:
at last, as the dusky, dim twilight was
fast giving place to the shades of night,
abe reached her arms for sweet EN-
brace, and, alas alas found empty
space. AS from her vision of bliss she
woke, and found her dreams had vanish
ed in smoke, she rose and said With a
shuddering sigh "Oh, would had mar
