For The Chicago Tribune.
You want Il portrait Of my doar-

But first, be sure, III all the world
1t is the fnirest face to me.
And, when see it lit a crowd.
"Els then feel its grace;
While thrilling through my very soul
Is love for that dear face.
But this is rhapsody? Well, now,
I'll start rs III the days
When with untutored skill I sought
To linn pictured E1txe.
Pure windows where her soul see;
And . they are in all the world
Tne 1oveliest, brightest eyes to mel
Her mind to her treasure il:
Her heart Is ever true;
Her voice is sweet in merry Jest,
And soft OriSOn3 too.
Her other charms? II golden haix.
Or rose or lily check,
If :clussfc form you long to find,
Ills I'LL III vain you seek.
No. no, dear friend, bescech me not; - -.

And y pray i'll worlds beyond
That face will shine on me. -..
