HE GAME roo LATE.
By DARB A. ROSS.

By DARE A. ROSS.
He came too late! the toast had dried
Before the fire too. loeg;
The cakes were seorched upon the side,
And everything was wrongl
She scorned to wait all night for one
Who fingered on his way,
And so she, took her tea alone,
And cleared The things awayl
He came too latel at once he felt
The supper hour was DER;
Indifference in her calm smile dwelt,
She closed the pantry door;
The table cloth had passed away
No dishes could he see
She met him, and her words were gay
She never spoke of teal
He came too late the subtle chords
OF patience were unbound;
Not by offence OF spoken words,
Bat by the Sights that wound.
She knew he would say nothing now
That could the past repay;
She babe him go and milk the COW,
And coldly turned away!
He came too latel the fragrant steam
OF tea had long since flown;
The flies had fallen in the cream
The bread was cold as stone;
And when, with word and SMILE he tried
His hungry state TO prove,
She neryed her heart with woman's pride
And never deigned to move!
