(AP1ER THE STYLE OF HOOPS "BRIDsE OF

ER THE STYLE OF HOOPS "BRIDGE
sIGHs.")
BY CHARLEY E. ROBERT.
One more unfortunate,
Weary for mate,
Rashly impOrtunate,
Gone to her fate
Take her up tenderly,
Squeeze her with care;
Fashion'd so slenderly,
Old and not fair
Look at her ornaments,
Her only adornments;
Whilst the rouge peelingly,
Drops from her face;
Take hold of her feelingly,
If you'd embrace.
Touch her not roughly;
Nor speak of her gruffiy;
She is but humanity;
Not of the make of her,
An that you take of her
Now, is peers womanly.
Make no deep scrutiny
Into her beauty
Ancient and horrid;
Past all redemption,
With scarce an exemption
From charms that're borrowed.
Remember for all slips of hers,
Mother Eve once taught them
Look at those sweet lips of hers
InParis she bought them.
Loop up her tresses
Escaped from chignOn,-
Her fairest blonde tresses;
Whilst wonderment gueSses
Whose head they grew on?
Who was her perez
Who was her BereS
Had she a S9uTS
Had she frereS
Or could there be an uglier one
Still and an older one
Yet, than ma chereP
Alas! tor the scarcity
or honest veracity
Under the sum-
Oh! it was pitiful!
Near a whole city full,
Teeth, she had none.
Lacingly, paintedly,
COnsumptively, faintedlY,
Feelings had changed;
Youth, by harsh measures,
Gone with its pleasures;
Even arts treasures
Were sorely deranged.
When the gas-jet quivers
Over fashions gay livers
For many night;
BY windows and easement
Their hearts in enslavement
To others amaZement
They were "spooney" outright,
The bleak winds of March
Could not make them SILVER;
For Cupid is arch,
Also, deit with his culver;
Mad from single blessedness,
Glad to double wretchedness,
Swiftly she ran,
Saying, "Anybody, anybody,
So it's a mani"
In she plunged boldly,
No matter how coldly,
The stream of love ran
Picture it-think of it,
Completely sold man!
Fondle her, embrace her
Then, if you can!
Take her up tenderly,
Handle with care;
She's a mirror of fashion,
She is glass, then, beware!
Ere her charms artfully
From her depart fully,
Leave you to grieve;
Smoothe out the clothes of her,
And see that dear nose of hers
EnamePd, as live! -sDsS
And her eyes cleaning
Look how, they've dropped;
Like stars they were seeming,
But If I'm not dreaming
GLdss!-you are duped!
Pondering quite sadly,
Raving now madly,
This is humanity,
Wounded vanity,
Terribly sold,-
So make now the best of her
0, Heavens, that mere lUdist OF hers,
But, you married for gold.
Own now your weakness,
1t caused matrimony,
And live with much meekness,
On her scant patrimOny.

POETRY
To Five.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE

Six Of us once, my darling, played together
Beneath green boughs which faded long ago.
Made merry in the golden summer Weahe',
Pelted each other with new-fa.len snow
Did the sun always shine? | can't remember
A single cloud that dimmed the happy blue
A single lightning bolt, peal of thunder,
To daunt our bright unearing lives: can you?
We quarreled often, but made peace as quickly,
Shed many tears, but laughed the while they fell,
Had our small woes childish bumps and bruises,
But Mother always "kissed and made item WELL"
Is it long since?-it seems moment only:
Grave men of business, members OF committees,
Our piay-time ended; even Baby votes!
And star-eyed children, in whose innocent faces
Kndles the gadness which was once our own
Crowd around our knees. with sweet and coaxing
voices,
Asking for stories OF that od-time home.
"Nere goa once little, too?" they say astonished
Did you too play? How funnyl tell us how.
Almost we start, forgettul for moment;
Almost we answer, .''We are little now
Dear friend and lover, whom ''To-Day we ehrIsten,
Forgive such brief bewildorment-thy true
And kindly hand we hold; We own thee 1alr2st-
But ah yesterday was precious TOO.
So darngs take this little childish story,
In which some CLEANS of the old sunshine play
And as with careless hands sou turn the pages,
Look back and smile, as here l smile, to-day
