LADIES, BOOTS.

LADAES BUTTS.
ny CHARLES q, LELAND,
Just to put YOU on your guard
I'll give you, short and brief
A small hotel experience
Which filled my heart with grief.
Last summer at the Clarendon,
stoptcd n week or more,
And Marked two "booties" every morn
Before my neighbours door;
Two boots with patent leather tips
Two boots which seem to say,
"An angel trots around in U.S."
They stole my heart away,
1 saw the servant take EN- off,
With those of common brutesI
His soul was all on sixpcnees,
But mine WINS on the boots.
And often in my nightly dreams
They swept before my face,
A lady growing out Of them,
AS flowers grow from q vase.
But ah one morn saw a sight
Which struck me like q stone
Zone other name was on the books;
Those boots were not alone
A great tall pair of other boots
Were standing by their side,
And Oft they walked that afternoon,
And with them walked--a bride,
Enough, enough-my song is sung,
Loves tree bears bitter fruits;
Beware OF beauty, friend of mine!
nut oh l-beware of boots!
