The Hunter has at last captured
his game, which he now cunningIy
takes to be his mate, and we could

ton sport around his pathway, while
his eyes are steadfastly fixed upon
the honey moon whose soft, mellow
rays whisper of love and happiness.

happy hours with pleasure and look
forward with eagerness, hoping to
Join in circles equally as happy un
der the same happy roof.
