Usongora is the great salt field

obtain their salt. 1t Is, from all &C.
counts, very land of wonders, but

numbers and well.known expertness

clannish, and allow none Of their tribe

LOVE AND MlsCHIt!
BY zAEAnn wILMsntegr.

One sunny dav Love chose to stray
Adoun q rosy path forbidden,
Where Mischief deep in ambush lay
And watched his snare meath flowers hid
den:
Love tumbling in, began TO shout
For Mischie's aid, lest he should smother :
"You little demon, let me out,
Or III report you 70 my mother"
Said Mischief, an no. set you free
Unless you share your power with me,
And give OF every heart you gain,
One-half 10 Joy and halt 70 pain"
Love struggled, but In vain, alas
He was not born 70 prove amartyr,
And, sad 70 tell : II came TO pass
He gave in to the little Tartar.
Love few TO Venus in pet,
And cried, when he had told his story
go, Queen OF Beauty, never let
That little imp wear halt my glory"
The goddess with n look sedate,
Replied, al cannot alter tate,
But you shall conquer still, my boy,
III make loves pain more sweet than joy. >
