At q terrible gait, indeed,

Was far, yes far in the lead.
I shouted and tore around, Billy,
Because l had failed to bet moro
On the hlly, the little bay hlly,
On, Billy, l was awfully sore.
The horses dashed down to the home

With the lilly my ~filly-ahead,
When a black hor'e, the mean little

They went round the circle once more,
And the tilly, the little bay FLY,
Acted stiff and awfully sore.

Can l borrow q half" or q ''case!"
And III never bet more on the flly,
The FLY which ran in that race.

While time 80 slowly passes;
/ cit sstride the judges nose,
And roost upon his glasses.
Such foods Of talk have come from me,
Such endless streams Of chatter,
That strangers stare at all they see,
And wonder what's the matter,
Both sides are rich, the people say,
The lawyers trained and clever,
And counsel's pay Is bv the day,
While I 60 on forever.
I've seen the winter melt In spring,
But still my days are dreary;
At natures grand awakening
My little world was weary.
A leaden cloud Of talk am l.,
The sunlight daily quenching,
And every luckless pssser.by
Is sure to get o drenching.
I've talked the judges eyeballs dim,
And petrified bis liver;
No oy can life afford to him,
While l go on forever.
The jury, rooted to the spot,
Are nothing now but dummies,
And sit ss lifeless as q lot

Ttcy daily lose their hold on esrtb,
Their sense OF time and season,
And nothing stirs their souls to mirth,
Or moves their miods to reason.
So helplessly they float away,
Like leaves upon q river,
And counsel's pay Is by the day,

Her OVID.
Her arms were clspped about him,
His head lay on her breast,
Sweet were the words she murmured
As she his hair caressed;
She pressed her warmest kisses
Upon his beaming face,
And death alone could sever
The love of her embrace.
She told him Of her sorrows,
And of her swestest joys;
Ths wedding day she longed for,
o, love without alloys,
And Ia his ears she whispered
The fohdest dialogue;
Her closest secrets told to
Her little poodle dog.
