When blue-eyed Jeannie came tripping that

Twenty, and pretty, was she.
The parson lie greeted the lamb of his fold,
As cordial as parsoa could be;
But over the way her blue eyes strayed,
And why, it was easy 10 see;
For Jerry was breaking the Ice Mt the

Twenty-Five. and handsome. was he;
Aud Jeannie with Ida to shield her from
Had errands to Jerry; had she.
So they crossed, and she took the pick from
his hand,
Ard merriiy struck brave blow,
Then held her dainty red mitten for pay.
And laughed till her cheeks were aglow.
And the parson whispered, ..She's break
ing the ice.'
To help bashful Jerry along:
If the ice in his heart don't break for that,
1t must be uncommonly strong.''
So the parson kept thoughtfully picking
away,
And he unused. s.Ah. isn't it nice,
When laughing girl, with her heart in

Helps her lover to break the ice!''
And he sighed. 'sAIl. were [ but young

But Jeannie, she wouldn't be here.
