A Question.


As Annie was carrying baby one day,
Tossing aloft the lump of nanity,
Dear to its father and mother no Doubt
To the rest of the world mere lump Of hu-
mainly
Sam came along and was thinking. may be,
Full as much of Annie as she of the baby
'Just look at the darling, cried Annie in fut-
ter,
Giving its locks round her fingers a twirl;
IF L was man know that couldn't
Be keeping my hands off dear little gfrh
And Sam gave wink as if to say s'may be
Ut the girls I'd rather hug you than the babyl'
SNOW kiss it." she cried, though. she still Rugged
it closer, HEE
"Its mouths like The roses the honey bee
sipsV"
Sam stopped to obey. and, as heads came to-
gether,
There CHANGED to arise confusion of lipsl
And as it occurred it might have been, may be,
That each got kiss, Sam, Anne, and thu baby !!
It's hard to tell just what was the matter,
For the babe the only one innocent there !;
And Anne flushed up, like full blown peony,
And Samuel turned red to the roots of his hair;
So the question is this-you can answer it, may
be-
Did Anne kiss Sam, or did both kiss the baby !?

When the sun his rays was shedding,
Beaming, cleaning, fairly streaming thro' the

Quickly, soon his eyes uplifted,

So left him there reclining,
Where no ray of sun was shining,

Thinking surely it was mystery,
And that some hidden history
