MY RIVAL.
MISS


On each occasion when I've tried
To pay Maud my addresses
I've found a rival at her side
Receiving her caresses.
He manifests mean discomfort
At once on my appearance,
And yet l can not well resent
His hateful interference.
He is not fair to outward view;
His intellect is hazy,
He's fat and dull and stupid, too.
And indolent and lazy:
And yet she heeds his ev'ry whim
Fantastic and capricious.
Her sweet smiles she wastes on him
Ny rival vain and vicious.
He can not play or dance or sing
Her tender heart to soften;
He never says a funny thing,
Whereas / do quite often.
His beauty never has enthralled
Fair maids to love confessing,
While / have frequently been called
Extremely progressing.
Now what am | to do aoout
This aggravating fellow?
You see | can not call him
To chivalrous duello,
Because, in her good graces snug
And surely situated.
Is this exasperating pug
That is my rival hated.

Mr.. Small have held meetings in various
parts OF the South, and their work has
been ~signally successful. 1t is estimated
that the lives of from thirty-five to forty
thousand persons nave thus far been al
iected by their efforts and meetings. Their
work is evangelistic and undenomination-
al, and their avowed object is to seek the
conversion OF all and to induce them to
live righteously, soberly and godly in this
present life, SO as to be prepared for the
life to come.
In personal appearance Mr.. Small is tall
and slim. 1.-THE OF limb and long armed.
His wcll-shapcd head rests upon somewhat
slender shoulders. His face expresses force
and gentleness, manliness and intelligence,
and is lighted by clear, bright black eyes
looking through steel-bowed spectacles;
and it is figured by a large brown mus
tache. His speech is easy, fluent and rip
ping with laughter as a mountain brook.
Wherever humor or pathos appears it
comes with a masters touch. And all
through it runs, like a golden thread, a
genial spirit, which is lit up by the myriad
of quaint Illustrations and illusions, spark
ling phrases and wonderful ~apothegms so
peculiar to this evangelist who. asa preach
er, has made II National reputation in six
month.
