We are not addicted much to poetry, but
we sympathize heartily with the youth de-
scribed in the following narrative, entitled
''Three's "a CrOvvd.,"
Farmer and Orally went out for stroll,
On Singmaster' walk, where there was mt
soul
The moon was not out, but the night it was
clear,
And Lille and Nezzie followed up in the rear
For Farmer so bashful, so tender in years,
And Orally the opposite Of course all their
fears
Were aroused for the child, they considered
their charge.
This accounts for their haste, (which the
same it was large"
But, 10 and behold, when near them they
came
They saw Farmer trying to kiss q honey
Jane
But honey, so cruel, resented the lout,
And enquircd-''was his mother aware he
was out?"
But for Orally she had different mind
And, encouraging him with glances so kind.
Accepted his invite to go for Ice Cream"
Leaving Lilly and Nezzie as if in dream.
They saw nothing more of Orally that night,
10 be sure he was keen to keep out of their
sight,
But Partner walked up, with tear in each
eye,
And gave such a terrible! terriblel sigh
The girls were alarmed, -" What's the mat
ter p they said
My heart! oh my hearts, as heavya as leadl''
He little imagined that they'd witnessed all, |
And had seen Crally's triumph and Parm
ers fall.
Now Orally, so happy, his mind so at rest,
little dreamed Of the struggle in poor Parm-
er's breast;
But Lilly and Nezzie, concealing Mei, pain,
)aused the world to look bright to poor Par
mer again. e.
