Are there many ike tQaC! asked the
editor, pushing his chair to safe distance
from the young lady, and hastily mapping
ont plan of escape
"Oh. YES. I have quite a number of such
little ccnceits which have just dashed of
at odd moments. But how do you like its
sentiment?" AMI the brown eyes turned
meltingly towards the now fairly frightened
editor.
How do like its xhat?" asked the
confused editor.
Its sentiment. Do you know, sir, my
folks have taken great fancy to that par
ticular little bit. They soy it possesses all
the-all -voluptueusness,-
that is the word-all the voluptuousness Of
Swinburne."
DO they?" asked the editor absently, as
he looked longingly toward the door and
glanced out the window to see how far it
was to the sidewalk.
Yes, mama especially admires it, but
papa rather fancies this little triolet BETTER"
sheet she Of manuscript. 9Now I know yos
will be honest and tell me which is the
best" and the large eyes looked almost
tende1ly into those of the now desparing
editor. II call this one
THOUGHT SHADOWS.
Over the CLASSY meer
Pass shadows strangely queer.
Over the mind Of man
Who can, who can
Tell US the thoughts which pass:
you will notice, sir, the last line is inde-
pendent Of the rest. That is what pleases
papa. He says it shows the unconvention-
al freedom of genius. I have another little
oddity which friend of mine who writes
for the Atlantic has admired" And before
the editor could demonstrate she sprung
upon him what she entitled:
THE LOVES REQUEST.
Let's sit tonight
In bright moonlight.
Tonight, tonight
Our love let's plight
BY bright moonlight.

From the Broollyn EAGLE.

'You may not want any poetry to- day,
sir, said dainty maiden Of some seven
teen summers, tripping into the dramatic
editors sanctum and looking into his very
soul with pair of large brown eyes. The
editor was just putting the final paragraph
to an editorial on Copyright in its Appli-
cation to the Drama, aud he was not in
poetical mood, but the eyes did the busi-
ness and the maiden was politely requested
to take chair.
TO put it very mildly, said the editor,
we are not very much in need of poetry,
having still few bushels on hand, bat of
course there are poems and poems," and
he smiled encouragingly upon the fair ap-
plicant.
"Oh. sir, I am afraid mine are all rub
bish, but if it won't take up too much of
your time"
"Oh, no; shall be pleased to hear any
you have with you" said the editor, now
fairly captive to the brown eyes.
The editor was slightly disconnected when
the young lady took from satchel most
formidable roll of manuscript. Unrolling
the first sheet she said:
II hardly know which is the best, but
you shall judge for yourself, Here is =
