HUPrIsLs Royal.
BY MRS. CARRIE L. POST.

sir Denver to Mics Worth had long cast ardent
dart
WfEh,ng the distance shortened, which kept
them far apart,
And so, sent letters tender, with WORDS az true
as steel,
Seeking marriage lie, promoting mutual veal ;
Lively Miss Worth but just few decades lac
younger
Listened with modest grace to Denver's plea so
tender,
A lit shy sis true, whsn she thought of snow
capt mount,
But every obstacle, the knew love always
could surmount.
Ambitious, youthful maiden net yet In her
last tie ms,
And yet, her answsr was becoming great Texas
Wisest queen:
eyes, will be thy heIpmate," and well work
with earnest will
To span each vsIo and canyon, as we leap from
hill to III,
place shall see
Thst tiny bride IN odel is, all over esp a-pie
Forthwith the "csrds were out" and caterers
were eager
To lsvishly provide, that nothing mean or mea
ger
sho Id mar or spoil. the "DeEverWorth's"
most royal feast,
So the "cards" went flying, south and north,
and west and east.
Prim matrons and young maids chopped Tor
their wedding gown
While porEly sires and stripping sons, brushed
up from toe to crown:
Workers In native iron, men skilled In steel
and stone,
Mechanics. and the srtigans, and engineers
best known,
Delivers in unsurned soil, hewerS who worked
And every oratt oonsplred to do, whatever best
they could;
For groom Sir Denver. snd Miss Worth, the
h nOre' last and best
OF the nations welded pslr,-unIted south and
west.
Miss Worth bedecked with peach blows her fine
ard sunny hair,
For the petals matched her cheeks, and the
beauty blushing there.
And the fragrant plum's white blossom, with
the vio.ers soft grace
Nestled VIII re snowy neck peeped out, beneath
her iOsy face;
And her trail ng, graceful garment held hintn
of emerald SreeD,
While the Ioseues of her slippers, were tn
dainIiest ever seen.
Good fairie. strewed her pathway with earliest
spring bloom
As she uipped the star state over, TO meether
comb g groom,
And lol ne comes, so flndly.-they meet with
ciasping srss
and they snout IN na"IiDg praises, Of each
ones many charms:
o joyously they v h'fp:r Of Colorado ore
And ihe vast plains, and mount, end mines
they will exuloIe,
OF Texas grazing lands, where herds CT cattle
IoaD
And where the tempting gardens, spring up
from mellow loan.
Yes, We know the golden ors from Colorado
grand
extra brand.
For mine sis and mines broad Texts will give
fruit,
And the wealth of coming years It's useless to
compute;
When the crowded eastern cities send out their
mOnied gu sis,
With their heavy laden purses, in rich lands to
inY' st,
We will treat with "grapes, Ell Paso," and the
lnEc1OnB ach ana pea
And will rhow them crops andininersls. which
will cause thea all 10 stare.
Oh, the grsnd stste, Colorado, oh, fixed star,
Texas state
How rirh In icres millioL-how wondrously
greRtI
So singly groom, Sir Denver, and sprishty
bride. Miss Worth,
With tor CUES of steel kept talking, in vein OF
PROUD est L irEh.
The links are row cemen!ed, and the two are
twain o more,
Let It be annouLc ed and shouted, back and
forth from shore 30 shore.
"Rocsies" may reverbeIate, who Sir Denver
chose Tor mate; 81
Calf, AIonttc, kshout it straight to Pacifc's
"Gtlden Gate"
Publlsh well, DER mount and moor-o'eF sea
ano foreign mart
What God and man hath joined go well, no
: power must ever part. 20.
