His Nose

Softly the silvery moon shone down
In the midnight cold and clear,
And the tones Of a couple wooing
Were borne to the listening ear,
Like the whispered words Of some dark plot
In the stories to children told.
Her voice floated upward through the air,
sob, Charles, but your nose is cold.''

Nora's Vow.

"Old CATERS son will not wed,
An0 don't forget it!o loud she said.
''Should every living creature die,
And none be left but Jim and I.
I would not wed old CATERS SON
The bow-legged, wall-eyed son of gunl''
1.-THE swan," She said, 1.-The lakes clear breast
May barter for the ground-hog's nest;
The Awe's fierce stream may backward turn,
The good priest yell! May be durn!
But I, were all these marvels done.
Would never wed old CATERS SON.
The knock-kneed, lop-eared son of gun!''
Still where the bull-frog lays her eggs
The swan still laves her purple legs;
Still downward flows the Awe's fierce river,
And will, no doubt, flow thus for ever;
But Morals heart is lost and won
She's welded to old CATERS son,
The ring boned, spawned son of gun,
And they have seven childer-un.
