POLLY.

Who's this coming down the stairs.
Putting on such lofty airs;
With that hump upon her back,
And her little heels click, tlaek?
Such funny little girl,
With funny great long curl
Hanging from mound OF hair;
Aud hat way back in the air,
Just to show a little border
OF yellow curls, all out of order.
She's silly girl, guess, /!
I'm glad it isn't Why. bless
My soul it's our little Polly lt
Tricked out in all that folly!
Well, declare. never
Vas so beat; for IL ever
There was sensible girl
thought twas little Polly Earl. q
And here Well it's very queer
To come back. after year
And find my Polly changed like this
A hunched-up. hunehed, furbelowed miss,
Viii. stceple of Il hat,
And her hair like mat
Its so frightfully frowzed ,eo ID :.
And roughed up and touslcS So
o Polly. Polly = Well, mysdear,
so you're glad grandiathers here?
And confess that kiss
Does smack of the Polly ] miss.
The girl with the soft smooth hair,
Instead of this kinked up snare.
What you're just the same Polly,
In spite of all this folly?
And what is that YOU say
About your grandmother's day,
That you guess the folly
Hasn't just begun? Oh! Polly,
If you could only have seen
Your grandmother at eighteen
What's that about the pulis
And the stilfrned-up rntls
That they wore in the time
Ofyour grandmother's prime?
And the big bukram sleeves,
That stood out like the leaves
OF the old-fashioned tables;
And the bonuets big as gables,
And the laced-up waits Why. sho,
Polly, how your tongue does go.
Little girls should be seen, not heard
Quite 50 much, Polly. on my word.
Oh! I'm trying to get away,
Eli from your grandmother day;
But I'm not TO escape
Quite so easy from a scrapef
What! you expect me to say
That your grandmothersd day
Was as foolish rs this!
Polly, give me a Kiss;
I'm beaten, ! see,
And I'll agree. III agree
Thai young folks find
All things To the mind;
And in your grandmothers time,
When |, too. was in my prime,
I've no doubt, Polly.
| looked at all the folly
Connected with the lasses
rose-colored glasses.
As the youths of to-day
Look at you. Polly eh?
But I've given you fair warning
How older folks see; so, Polly, good morning

Yesterday afternoon two teamsters
became involved in difficulty at the

on, who captured him a mile or so
down the river bottom, aud brough:
him back to the city to answer to the
charge of assault with intent to kill.
