COURTING DAYS.
All, Nell, we used to linger
Down at the orchard gate,

All, Nell, we used to nnger
Down at the orchard gate,
Among the nodding nlacs.
Until the hour was latei
And tender words whispered
In very willing ears;
Fen now catch their echoes
Through mellowed lapse Of years!
And in the porch-the shady porch
Where the morning glories crept.
The old folks sat and gossiped,
And sometimes snored and slept!
Well, well how strong used to be,
Just twenty years ago!
And round your pretty cheeks there chung
A soft, peach blossom glowl
Your voice was music. and your eyes
Reflected heaven above;
And when kissed your ripe red lips
Halo! I'm making love-;
All, that's the style of lovers talk
Beneath the moons pale rays;
II remember twas the same
In our old counting days!
But now the young folks finger
Down at the orchard gate.
(Confound it! will he never go7
That girl is out too late;)
They whisper where the hlacs
In drowsy clusters grow.
And we sit talking in the porch,
Where morining-glories blow.
But, Nellie, I'm your lover still;
My love is fond and deep
Al when-why. goodness gracious!
fshe isn't sound asleep!
With her chin upon her hand.
And her elbow on her knee,
IT'S not hard to understand
What the maiden's thoughts must be,
With her face with rapture beaming,
And her eyes upon the floor,
Is she thinking, is she dreaming
OF the man she does adore9
Ali she lifts her eyes Of blue
To dress upon the chair;
But, although that dress is new
Surely can her thoughts be there?
Yes, smile of pleasure futters
Gently DER that face so pure.
AS her thought she softly utters:-
81 will cut it Pompadour."
