GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.


NIX UNCLE Lutte.
You adore mel Do hear right?
Wed to mo you would be happyl
And you'll strive that the same blessing
May the lot be of your darlngl
That of all enhancing ladies,
Of your own and foreign countries,
None SO charming, pure, and graceful,
None so kind, and none 80 gifted,
In your travels you have met with;
None so regRlly enchanting,
None so beautiful and queenly,
You have met in all your travels;
From the lips of noble manhood,
Such words sir, if they we're truthful
TO my girlhoodis honor sacred
Might with tender biisses thrill me,
Set my heart-strings in iutter, WEI sAa
As the tender flowers Of evening sst
Thrill and blush meath dewdrop KISSES
As the dew-dssed flowers Of morning
Laugh and sparkle in the sunlight
And, perhaps, being woman,
With woman's heart and passions, 1t
And her trusting, yearning nature
For the stronger and the nober,
II felt truly loved him, stt
], myself sic, might surrender
With an eagernoss Of rapture.
For h)d the grandest tribute
Noble manhood pays to woman,
Bending from his kingly station
To her throne of grace and beauty,
IL when wooing her acceptance
Of his heart, his truth, and fortunes,
And, with trustful, free assurance
That she'll hold Its honor sacred,
With his good name seeks to crown her
For whom such men seek for favor.
Well she knows they do but hold her
Nothing lower than the angels;
But from you they have no power
But to fill my soul with anger. ~ FFt&
Great assurance you indulgein,
IN your words of fond expression,
That you dare to call me daring.
Though my frail form swels and trembles,
And my checks do burn with bushes,
lnd1gnatiOn's burning passion
Is the fame your words have kindled.
Oh you're startled. Not one word, sir
Wake no effort to deter me;
Do but listen, while paint you
From the past truthful picture, #@
For from nfe it shall be taken:
Mid bright scenes in rustic woodland
DWot happy, artless maiden,
Pure in heart and free in fancy. fAtt
Wild-rOse Laura they did call her,
From the wild rose Of the forest;
For her sweet face beamed in beauty,
And her why's were free and guileess;
Hence they named her from the roses. I'LL
All youdo, i see, remember. kt ft
But, sir-.iisten, j command YOU
All the warm and pure affection .fI f@
Of heart when FIRST awakened
BY the thrill of tender passion
AaVlshed she upon lover,
Who had wooed her for her beauty,
For her grace and beauty only,
just TO safe his idle fancy, ~
AS the serpents Of the forest
Charm poor birds to their destruction.
But so artlessswas the maiden, ftft AZ tf5ft
She'beieved him true and constant
And 80 kind was her affection,
But for fate's kind Intervention ~
now shudder at her danger,
AS would at the surroundings ssf~ffssvt
Of an angel cast in hades. Rk ~
For foreign cline he left her,
Vowtng ever H. be faithful gfs fA4ffs zoos q
Sealed his vows with traitors kisses.
While her form, convulsed with sobbng,
Trembled on his heartesS bosom, f
Like aiblghted leaf in autumn
On the empty airs cold bosom
In the weary days which followed stt s tttEst
Came cold and formal letter,
Telling her she must forget him.
oh the cruel, cruel torture
OF love with pride in conflict
Oh the pain, so fierce and bitter,
OF heart that's breaking, breaking.
From the depths Of maiden sorrow -
Rose wise and saddened woman; ttff ktf
and with primer years of being,
Nobler hopes and finer Judgment, ~
DeeD have buried former Weakness fftt
You were this girls faithful lover!
An! and she? It's well you ask, SIR ssFfst
She is standing here before YOU tftA's
Not simple, art'ess girl now,
But shrewd, yet gentle, woman, 4ft.
With womans keen discerning ~"
I'm ali matters of the heart, sir,
Whose affection for lover rtttt#
Seeks faithful, fond rewarding.
And think, sir, he is coming
Yes-l see him down the path there
For my welcome he is coming
For the toll of day is over; Isfsff j
For welcome-kiss-it may be- tll 81
10 reward me for my kindness,
That tarry here to meet him
When the toll of day is over #Ns#
And L-ah! you're out of hearing 1888
1t is well-my lover greets me.
