Her lips we're ripened fruit. where bliss
Might long to die upon a kiss.
BY feeling stung to perfectness.
The lanRuor OF a passion past,
Too perfect at its hight to last,
The sweet aud halt-exhausted sense
OF being almost too intense,
Beneath whose exquisite excess
Life fainting falls in WEAKNESS
And drops to sad indifference.
All this had ma lie her wan cheeks thin
Ana loves lost purpose lived alone
Upon the p-cud projecting throne
Of her compelling Chin.
THE EDITORS ANSWER.
You are doubtless honest. madame,
IN your views on lady suffrage,
But ] do not think that any
Such results rs you have mentioned
Would he followed BY bestowinS
On the gentle Sex the ballot.
And II by some stroke of 70. tune
They w2ra able to outvote us
The next President would surely
Be q man who was selected
For the ali-suttici Mt reason
That his surging brain created
Bangs to supersede the Langtry,
Or a nineteen-buttOn kid glove
With a candv-box attachment
NO, fair maiden. you are flying
Rather high for ducks to found bo
When you ask a man to cOldly
Tak the chan 'es Of intlicting
On a great and glorious country
Some high-collared man for ruler,
And to have our foreign service
Wear tight pants and ride bicycles
Woman is a thing Of beauty,
In her sphere she takes the biscuit,
Takes it without opposition:
But to have her WELD the ballot
Would dispel the fond illusions
That we entertain about her.
Homeward skip, G, Minnehaha,
Spank the baby if its crying,
Put away your sealsk n jacket
And prepare your husband . supper.
Seek not other worlds to conquer.
But content Yourself with thinking
OF your luck n having some one
To get up and hustle for you
