Minnie.

Sweet little Minnie lives over the lea
Minnie, the dear little sunny-browed girl;
Lives in a cottage in shade OF tree
Cheek like sunbeam. and footstep as free,
And hair of the goldenest curl.
She has a heart that is light as a fawn-
Minnie, the sweet little flower of the lea;
Sings like lark from the dewy grass drawn
Up to the sun -riven doors of the dawn,
Or linnet on bloom-burdened tree.
Minnie Is all the desire of the town
She, the soft-hearted and light-footed girl,
Minnie can love, but she cannot well frOWn,
And so all the lovers come awkwardly down
With hearts in the tenderest whirl
Cherry-lipped Minnie came over the lea,
Over the lea with the lovingest look;
And, 10! / met Minnie, and Minnie met me,
Beneath the soft fringe of a white-blossomed tree
In the marge of sun-speckled brook.
Minnie sat down with rose on her cheek,
Down on the rude summer seat by my side;
She was so tender, and gentle and meek,
My heart went throbbing before l could speak
With feelings of fear and of pride.
Dear little Minnie has gone over the lea,
Back to her home through the scent-laden dell
But what ! told Minnie, and what she told me,
Beneath the sweet calm of that beautiful tree,
We care not too lightly to tell.
Now ali the lovers may WOO as they will
Minnie, the lovely-faced gem of girl,
For she told me secret that eve by the hill
And her heart is as true the course OF the rlll
And pure as the cOStliest pearl.
Minnie remembers, though nothing she tells
Tacitum Minnie, with good-natured look
All the heart f1utters and amorous swells
That came while we spoke of the Ginning of bells
On the day that we named by the brook.

stead of presenting a broad surface to

the storm somewhat abated. The waves
although running high, did not chase each
other so furiously. A new topsail was
rugged up, and we put about again, and
run with the wind. 1t was perilous voy-

w. c. Evans, clerk at the Depot, has
got some large cards printed, notifying
persons not to smoke in the room. 1t
has become SO annoying that women and
decent men cannot stay in the room.
We told Mr.. Evans that it would do no
good to warn persons to quit, as tobacco
smoker had lost all decency, manners,
