SHO! AN ALLITERATIYE ROMANCE.

Sam Stubbs strolled slowly, surveying sun
sets serene splendor. Sweet songsters softly
sung silvery strains Sombre shade soemnly
surrounded sylvan scenes; stiffness seemed
stepping stocking-footed skyward, sitting sound,
soothing sense, suggesting sentiment, stilling
strife, silencing sorrowing suffering. Sleep
seemed stealthily stealing sluggish sense. Sam
Stubbs seemed sad. Sam Stubbs sighed! So
simooms, sweeping savagely southwark, some
times sigh Sam Stubs sighed sonorously
Still, Sam sauntered silently seemingly sub
dued, softened, seraphized! Sans soft suscep-
tibilites surrendered some time since $50 sundry
sage spinsters say). Seraphina Stggns saw
something seemed sufficiently sapient. So Sam
Stubbs surely sought Seraphina Stiggins SANS
steps squashed snowdrops, sour sorrel; striped
snakes stung Sans stout soles. SparrOws,
snugly settled, shranl suspiciously seeing Sans
stupendous strides. Still Sam sauntered silently.
Suddenly somebody shrielied, Samuel Stubbs ;"
Sam staggered, said 'Scissors!" stopped, sur
veyed surrounding space, spied Seraphina Stig-
Gins sitting solus simpering sweetly. SO Sam
stammered, Servant, Seraphina !" She seemed
sentimentally satisfied. So Sam, seeing Sera-
phinas suayity, squatted, simply saying, ''Slicl<
sunset" Seraphina said, splendid sweet"
Somehow speech seemed scarce, Sans syntax
stopped, Seraphina's silvery syllables scampered
shamefully; so, sitting silently, Sam stroked
Sans shins. Seraphina smoothed Seraphina's
seven-shillng silk Stupid silence" Seraphina
sighed. So Sam sighed Soon she spoke
solemnly, "Surely singleness seems sorrowful:
surely sentimental souls seek sympathy; surely,
Samuel, sadness sometimes sleeps sympathetic
souls"
Sam shook sensibly; Sans speech surely
stayed somewhere Sam suffered sputtered
shades see Seraphna starting suddenly; stand
ing, scornfully scanning Sans sprawling SYM
metry. She satirically sibilated:- Stupid sim
pleton; shabby, sheep-stealing, sneaking snivel-
Ter! subservient subaltern sooner shall Sera-
phina Stiggins seek scNnty subsistence scrubbing
sinks, sooner scom smal-sized stoves, sooner
skin snakes, steal steamboats,, swallow shin
soup, sooner sweep streets, sew Shoes split
sails, side saddles; sooner shingle shops, sell
shaving strops; ;sooner-soOner-sOon- So"
Seraphina stopped, sniveling scomfully. Some
single souls see some slight severity spriukling
Seraphinas speech. Such should survey So
lemnly Sans sin. Sam said ''Sho."
Since Sans slip, seventeen summers saluted
submissive sublunarians; snow, sleet, slush,
sorrow, sin severally saddeHed smiling souls
sunshine. Sunbeams, summer showers, severally
streamed, sustaining sweetness, soothing sad
ness, supporting sorrow. Sh! speak softly

Sam Stubs simply said. "Sho!' Y.
