AN IMITATION.
BY K. W. RtswELI-.


 Between the gate post and the gate l fingered with my love till late; And what cared the time ofnight. Till wakened by the watch-dog's bite, And thud of leainery boN-toed fate Betw cen the gate post and the gate. Between the seaside and the sea kissed my love and she kissed me, But rapturous day was gravesomc night. And what IS love but bloom and blight And what IS d kiss of mine To thee Between the seaside and the sea Between the sunshad, and the sun I saw d face that hinied fun But what Is fun and what Is face When driven at lifc's killing pace l simply say what 1 have done Between the sunshade and the sun. Between the humble and the bee, Full many soul has had to flee: And what h love, mas inquire, When asked 10 build the kitchen hrc Or who would not leap m the sea Between the humble and the bee Between the tea store and the tea There Is wIdr ImmensIiy A dollar-ts enty -hve a pound. And not nIckic to be iound Then what has fate In store for thee Between the tea store an the tea.

They carried pie to the pastors house, And they scattered the floor with crumbs, And marked the leaves of his choicest books With the prints of their greasy thumbs. They piled his dishes high and thick With a lot of unhealthy cake, While they gobbied the buttered toast and

 Which the pastors wife did make. They hung round Giytie ieAs'ciassir neck ---- Their apple pafings in sport, And every one laughed when a clumsy Tout Split his tea on the piano forte.

 Miss Lewis, a lady al present residing in Chicago, has dimmed the glory ol Waieo,fs gastronomic feat by eating three quail day for fifteen days. Instead of washing down the remains of each dimin- utivc bird with huge dose of liquid pepsin, and taking Turkish bath after each game dinner. she merely swallowed little tea. and mopping her face with a dish rag. was enabled to come up to the scratch, smiling every time. This was in Chicago, but the fact that the lady IS only a transient visitor from the sunny south, will deprive the state metropolis of the satisfaction of being enabled to boast oi the strength of the stomachs of it's women, in enumerating its many attractions.
