Poetry in Undress.


An English paper, which rejoiceS in the name
OF Fades O'cn, THUS plays tricks with rhymes
and reason: cit is many years since fell IN
love with Jane JerushaSkeggs, the handsomest
country girl by far that ever went ON legs. by
meadow, creek, and wood, and dell, 50 often
did we walk, and the moonlight smiled on her
melting lips, and the night winds learned our
talk. jams Jerusha was al 10 me, for my
heart was young and tue, and loved with a
doubleand twistedlo love, and alovethat was hon
est too. Iroamed all over theneighbors' farms,
and robbed the wildwood bowers, and tore
my trowsers, and scratched my hands, in search
Of the choicest flowers. In my joyous love |
brought all these tony Jer'aJane; but Iwouldn't
be 50 foolish now, if were boy again. a
city chap then came along, all dressed up In
fine clothes, with a shiny hat and shiny vest,
and a moustache under his nose. He talked to
her OF singing schools flor her father owned
farm and she left me, the country love, and
took the new chaps arm. And | never slept,
nor could I eat the next day, for ! loved that
girl with ferYent love that nOught could drive
away. strove to win'her back to me, but it
was all in vain; the city chap, with the hairy
lip, married JeruSha Jane. And my poor heart
was sick and sore until the thought struck me
that Just as good fish still remained as ever was
caught in the sea. So went to the Methodist
church one night, and saw dark brown curl
peeping from under giPsy hat. and married
that very girl. And many years have passed
and gone, aud think my loss my gain and
often bless that hairy chap that stole Jerusha
Jane"
