"WHAT PRETTY L1rrLE HAND"

am not a bashful man. Generally speak
ing, L am fully as confident and forward rs
most of my sex. Yet there was one period
of my life when all my merits seemed to my
own eyes insignificant, and L felt modest,
not to say bashful. 1t was when I was in
love. Then L sometimes did not know
where to put my hands and feet Did 1
mention that in said hands and feet consists
my greatest beauty They are both small.
a short time ago fell in love. did not
walk into it quietly, weighing my idols per-
fections against her defects. L fell in, head
and ears, two seconds after first met her.
She was glorious creature, with long,
brown hair floating over snowy neck and
shoulders and falling down on the waist of
an enchanting silk dress. Her dark brown
eyes were full OF snucy light-yet, oh ! how
tender and loving they could look. This 1
found out later.
OF all the provoking, tantalizing CO.
quettes that ever teased the heart out of a
poor man, Susy Arnold was the most be-
witching. L would pass an evening with
her, and then go home, certain that one
more interview with her would make me the
happiest of men ; but the next time I met
her, cool nod and All indignant glance
threw down all my castles. She was very
cautious.
One evening while there [ was seized with
a violent headache. 1 told her was subject
to such attacks, and the pretty creature,
putting on grave face gave me lecture
on the subject of health, winding up with
''The best thing you can do is to get
wife to take care of yon, and to keep you
from study. ! advise you to do tiff you
can get anybody to have you"
Indeed" said, rather piqued, "there
are only too many. 1 refrain from selec-
tion for fear of breaking other hearts How
fond all the ladies are of me, to be sure !'
added, conceitedly, Though I can't see
that I am particularly fascinating
Neither can l." added Susy, with an air
Of perfect simplicity.
Cant you?" said 1. II Ihoped-hoped-"
Oh! that dreadfully attractive face of hers.
That is. Miss Susy, 1 thought, perhaps
Oh! my head, my head!" and buried my
face in the cushion.
"Does it ache so very badly2" she asked
tenderly, and she put her cool, little hand
in among my curls. I felt the thrill her
fingers gave me through my whole system.
My head being really very painful, 1 was
obliged to leave but all the way home the
soft, cool touch of those little fingers lin
gered upon my brow.
Soon after this it became necessary for ma
to leave the city on business An offer of a
partnership in the Office of lawyer friend
of mine made me decide to extend nv trip
and see how the Gland lay"
One thing was certain: could not leave
home for months, perhaps years, without
some answer from Susy. Dressed in my

Ine lana thus pure from foreign loot,
Her growing powers thus centered
Around her heart, with other lands
The race historic entered. s8.
Her struggling dawn, convulsed or bright,
Worked on through storms and troubles;
Whilst heroic line of kings
Strove with heroic mobiles.
Fair field alone the brave demand,
And Scotland ne'er had lost it;
And honest prove the hate and love
To objects meet adjusted.
Intelligible course was hers
BY safety tried or danger;
The native was for native known
The stranger known for stranger.
Honor in her sphere had found,
Nobility station,
The patriots thought the task it sought,
And virtue-toleration
Her will and way bad ne'er been crossed
In fatal contradiction;
Nor loyalty to treason soured,
Nor faith abused with fiction.
Can song be mute where hearts are sound :?
Weak doubts-away we fling them
The land that breeds great men, great deeds,
Should ne'er lack bards to sing them.
That vigor, sense, and mutual truth
Which baffled each invader,
Shall fill her marts, and feed her arts,
While peaceful olives shade her.
Honor to Scotland and to Burns
In him she stands collected;
thousand streams one river make
Thus genius, heaven-directed,
Conjoins all separate veins of power
In one great-soul creation;
And blend q million men to make
The poet of the nation.
Honor to Burns! and her who first
Let loose the abounding river
OF music from the poets heart,
Borne through all lands forever!
How much to her mankind has owed
OF songs selected treasures
Unsweetened by her kiss, his lips
Had sung far other measures.
Be green for aye, green bank and br;c

Blow there, We earliest flowers! and there,
Ye sweetest song birds, ncstlc
For there was ia en- that last farewell
In hope, INDUCED how blindly;
And there WIS given that long last gaze
"That dwe(5" on him ''s;c kindly"
No word Of thine recorded stands;
Few words that hour were spoken;
Two Bibles there were interchanged,
And some slight lovc-gft broken.
And there thy cold, faint hands he pressed,
Thy head by dew-drops misted;
And kisses, ill-resisted first,
At last were unresisted.
All ceasel-she died. He, too, is dead,
Of all her grlish graces
Perhaps one nameless lock remains;
The rest stern time ef1aces-
d Ist lost in dust. Not so; bloom
Is hers that no'er can wither;
And in that lay which lives for aye,
The twain live on together.
