THE oAv YOUNG GIRLS

Othe gay young girls how they brighten
Our homes; and our hearts how they tighten
OF the burdens that they bear
In the days Of anxious care,
When we hear their merry laughter ringing out
upon the air.
Q the gay young girls are 90 Jolly,
So free from the least melancholy,
We love to have them near,
To keep us in good cheer,
When troubles gather thickly, and the days
are dark and drear.
IT'S the gay young girls who delight us,
Where pleasures and pastimes invite us,
For they're ready to begin
The fun, and enter in
The frolics and the sports to help along the
the merry din.
0 the gay young girls we remember,
Ere life was SO near its December,
Were happv-hearted throng,
Full OF laughter and Of song,
With whom the dismal shadows had no chance
TO linger long.
Let the gay young girls be as jolly
A. they can; we will laugh at their folly;
For too soon they leave our hearth,
And subdue their noisy mirth;
Ana the home that Is without them 10 the
dullest place on earth.

SEVERE CRITICISM.

write poem on The Destiny OF Amer

II had burned great deal of mid
night oil over the effusion, and had
polished 1t up to my satisfaction, when,

gled fear and pride, to submit it to my
fathers judgment shall not forget
the little scene. It was evening, and
he was sitting in front OF a large wood
fire.
$50 you have written q poem, ehp'
said he. Let me read it.
II sat in trepidation while he strug-
gled through the rather long effort.
Finally he finished, and looked over at
me.

"That it lacks fire.
"And, saying this, my father threw
my poem into the fire.
II thought this very graphic criti-
cism was terribly severe at the time,

preston of the poem. have no doubt
that 1t was perfectly just. My SUBJ
