A Kiss--By Mistake.
Upon the railway train We met
She had the softest, bluest eyes,

Upon the railway train We met-
She had the softest, bluest eyes,
A face you never could forget
"Sixteen," with all that that implies,
/ knew her once little girl,
And meeting now mutual friend.
Our thoughts and hearts got In whirl;
We talked for miles without much end
threw nv arm around the seat
Where, Just IN front, she sideways sat,
Her melting eyes and face to meet
(And no one wondered much at thatD
For soon the station where she left
Would on the sorrOwing vision rise,
Aud | At least should feel bereft;
thought tear stood In her eyes.
She WAS but kith, not kin, of mine
Ten years had passed since last we met
And when, In going, she did incline
Her face, twas natural to forget
II seemed 80 like the child knew,
met her half way for that sake;
And, coming near those eyes OF blue,
She gently kissed me-dy mistake!
She saw her error, and straightway ran
With flaming bushes, rosy red;
| should not be one-half a man
If thought of wrong came In my head
In fact, III take that very train
Ana travel daily for her sake,
If she would only come again
And gently kiss me--Jy mtstahe!
