WHAT she TnoUGHTO of 1T.

III she loved your OF course you should
! think that you men must be blind.
III were man ] should show IL,
When once was sure of my mind;
Bnt no! You must wait till you're certain,
You men are so awfully proud,
with your Fps closed by fear like curtain.
When you ought to be speaking aloud.
Don't GU think 1t is dreadfully silly
That we girls can't show what we feelE
I'm sure that it couldn't work lily.
And 'twouId simplify things good deal;
Lots more of the girls would be married
Could they ask to be SOMEBODY'S wife.
And one wouldn't then always be harried
For fear she was single for life.
I own I know little of "duty,"
OF Fitness" and FEARS" and all that:
But / see the full poetic beauty,
And that is enough to look at.
No doubt you're convinced you know better
With that very superior air;
But IL don't change my dictum one letter
Because you condemn it-so there.
What sort of man would fancy
Well, one who has spirit and dash,
And-oh, yes--he must have moustache.
Rich or poor? Either ways not alarming;
OF course, one needs dresses and Loves;
But it's very romantic and charming
To be poor with the man that one loves!
But IL a real lover came to me
He wouldn't wait all OF his life,
Not daring to openly WOO me,
No, he'd ask me II I'D be his wife,
And / d know that bis bias was toward me
What! must known Three Yeas you've
adored mey
Good gracious! Inever supposed.

a Keen.Scented Politician.

One day big, handsome Fen lie Fevre
was having his rotund and jovial per
sODality in marble bath tub in the
House bath rooms at Washington. While
he was disporting him self in tepid water,
made foaming with scented soaps, and
was about to be rubbed dry by the at
teudant, messenger came down and
called to him from the outside that there
were some gentlemen above anxious to
see him ON important business for a
moment, as they were obliged to depart
hurriedly to catch train.
"WhO are thew" called the general,
as he blew the water out ofbis mustache
with snort like pJrpoise.
They are some gentlemen from Ohio,
sir
Are they people from my district?'
asked Ben.
YES sir" answered the messenger.
Then for heavens sake don't send
them down here. Shut the door there
and keep them cut. Good LORD If
any Of them find battle IN marble tub,
and am rubbed down by niger instead
of going down to the creek and driving
myself with my shirt it will cost me one
thousand votes"

So Mr.. Texter related to the bishop
the mornings adventure.
"Well, sir" said the bishop, wnen the
vicar had fini.hed, "all that can say is
that YOU are very deeply indebted to the
pens0n who made such self sacrifice in
order to extricate you from your unfor-
tunate dilemma"

with establishment.
The same, my lord"
This news burst upon the worthy
bishop like revelation. He was aware
OF Gerald's love for Daisy Texter, and
also OF the difficulties that bad been
thrown in his way by her father. He
therefore soon formed an opinion of his
own as 10 how the little accident had
occurred to the. wears clothing. Sup
pressing, however, the smile that the
thought brought to his venerable FACE,
and with determination to try and say
q useful word for his friends son, the

INVER.MARRA.
ANNIE ROBERTSON NOxOn


Invcr- Maria, Inver-Marra,
Do thy whipping waters flow
From the long lost Isles of Eden,
As they did so long ago
Past the reedy little inlets
Longing parchcd TO drink them so?
Past the greedy little iule,s,
Which cajoled thee there aside:
To divert thee with theiI shadows
Till the turning of the tide.
Past the notified lily standing
Waist deep, naked in the pool;
Past the old canoe empowered
In the os;erS dark and cool?
Inver-Marra. Inver-Marra,
Suns may rise and suns may set;
But there never rolled q river
Like thee, tnver-Marra, yet:
With thy clouds. and shine, and shadow,
And thy banks of mignonette.
In the eddy's circled trophies
From an ocean mermaid's chain;
Leaves of lotus limp were drifting,
AS IL drunk with heavenly rain.
Nymphs and Dryads filled their breaker
At thy fount, oh, river mine;
From no trcdden wine press ever
Came to fevered lips such wine.
Iuver-Marra, Inver-Marra,
Do thy birds still wake at dawn;
Do they build. and brood, and sorrow?
Do they know that / am gone?
Do they call me up from dreaming
In the tasseled ranks of cornI
Are thy shores atiame with sumac.
Are they white with alder snowI
Do the stars reach down and kiss thee
AS when only could know
Do the lilies droop and tangle
With the willows on thy breast.
All. oh, tell me, river. tell me,
Shall / see thee soon-and rest?
Inver- Maria, Inver-Marrs,
Where thy waters find the sea
Shall my soul regain its freedom
And the youth il lost in theeg
For the spectre floating in thee
Is the hope which died in me.
