That 1879
The plaintin. said furthenia
Resides with her relatives
Ia the state of Pennsylvania.
A Jingle woman she had lived
Since birlh, just thirty years,
With heart untouched by Cupid's dart,
And cheeks unwct 10y tears,
Until the said Uriah came
Twas first Of last July
To fish for trout and perch and Dream
Win tACkle, hook and fly.

That babbled Ger the Stones;
Saw me one day aud said:
My name is AllibOnc.'
From thence he never lished again.

Unless he had me by his side,
His darling Arabclla.

How new II was To mel

Himself nom wcdluck free.

h wandering by the stream.
But now ansl they are no more,
And all seems but dream.

one day-Iuly the twcnty-ilrst--
With wandering steps and slow,
lie came and asked me, " BE my bride
And share my JOY and wuc?'
And with trembling lips announced
My life was his for eve.
And fixed November tweuty-third
10 be Che wedding day.
And all my hopes were soaring high
As dark NuNCmbcrs muans
Proclaimed the day was drawing nigh
When I'd be AllbORe's.

I've learned too late that men betpy;
No soothing art can cure
The sou-ic.t wound that cupid leil
Where once NV heart was pure.
Contd,nR in his promises,
I waited patiently
iutil November came around,
Aud hc shuuld call for me.
But ere November came around,
The defendant, mc forgetting
Voiced and won n city maid,
And had city wedding.
Aud now iorsaken and iorlorn,
The victim of loves rayagos,
Mocked at home and jecred asroad,
ASK the court for damages;
Also for the costs of suit,
BY way Of satisfaction,
The plaiutiil asks the court TO give
TO carry ON the action.
v.
Ten thousand dollars Is the sum
Though u would not requite me,
Twill teach Unah any way
How much It cost 10 slight me.
