A European letter says: 'Some years

WORLDLY WISE.

m was the b0atman ROnsalee,
And he sailed through the mists so white;
And two little ladies sat at his knee,
With their two little heads so bright
And so they sailed and saed-all three
ON the golden coast o the night.
young ROnsalee had handsome face.
And his great beard made him brown;
And the two little ladies in girlish grace
They kept their eyelids down
The one in her silken veil of lace,
And the one in her woolsey gown
For one little lady lived in the wood,
Like flower that hides from the DAY;
Her name was Jenny-they called neI the Soou'
And the name O. the other was May;
And her palace window looked on the HOOD,
Where they softly sailed away.
Long time the balance even stood
With our Ronsalee that day;
1,,t what was little house in the wood
To a palace grand and gray!
So he gave his heart to Jenny the good.
And his hand he gave to May.
