For the Shenandoah HERALD.
An Untrue Lover.
BY ROBERT y. NJ

One night was wand'rng down the riVer
By the banks Of tho old Shenandoah
To see a little sweet maiden
That lived by the banks Of its shore.
As / went down by the river
She came out to the gate
And whispered come out In the moonlight
have something TO say to you Kate.
So ont in the moonlight we wandered
Way down 10y the old river bill
The stars come out in tho evening
The birds had ceased and was still.
put my arm around her
But knew not the reason why
For 1 slipped my arm around her
In the twinkling of an eye.
| told her that loved her
And no one else so dear
WheL told her that | loved her
The maiden shed tear.
ask her if she loved me
As we sit Down side by side
I AJAX her if she would marry me
She hung down her head and cried.
She told me that she loved me
As knowed that long before
But she said we could never marry
Because | was too poor.
Alas that night has past
And many others too
I'm away from the river
Away from my sweetheart too.
Now all you boys
1t is yOur ways
To seek sweetheart
In your days.
But the rich ones they have plenty
As everybody knows
But don't You for get 1T boys
| The money takes the beaux.

under a bushel from this time forth he
will bloom out IN another Byran. The
careful reader will see the powerful force
of expression in many places. For IN
stance, "by the banks Of its shore" is al
most stunning. Then with what sweet
ness and pathos he tells You that che put
his arm around her." lie can't tell why
he did So but he slipped his arm around
her in the twinkling Of An eye. This is a
new way to do it, and that is probably the
reason he couldn't tell why he did it,
When he told her that he loved her, the
maiden she'd a tear. No wonder. 1t II
