The GranIteviile Bellies.

Ed. Register
We have some very nice girls in this place,
And the Ironton beaux ought TO know it.
| L will mention few, who, for beauty ant
grace,
Would charm the eyes of a poet.
But beauty alone is the least of their charm
They are modest, and loving, and sweet
A few fond of flirting, but that is no harm,
For withal they are very discreet.
Miss NJ. A. is a girl who is gentle and good
And she shuns every form of notoriety;
She understands perfectly how girl should
| Deport herself with all propriety.
Miss NJ. r. is plump and rosy brunette,
| With face really pretty and bonny;
| She is faithful and true, for she does not
forget
Miss NJ. X. has lovely madonna expression,
With eyes like the gentle gazelle;
| II one of our beauX has made an impression
On her, am sure she won't tell.
Miss c. X. is a rolicking, jolly young girl,
Brimfull of good nature and laughter;
She is pretty, and keeps her Jeau's head in
whirl,
For he never knows what she is after.
Miss f. B. is a girl who is loyal and true
To all who her friendship may claim;
She flirts just little ithis is quite entire n0us),
But she's a darling sweet girl, all the same.
Miss J. \. has face which is charming and
sweet,
She's type of the bonny Scotch lassie:
So piquant, so bright, SO exquis1tely neat,
And withal SO good natured and saucy.
Miss L. n. is a golden haired, slender young
blonde,
Very pretty, and looks rather shy;
But 1 know young gent of whom she is
fond,
And she tlrts, believe, on the sly.
Miss A. S. is a fairy-like girl of sixteen,
Quite popular, too, with the beaux;
She always presents a demure, modest mien,
And is sweet as a newly blown rose.
Miss F. X. is a real pretty girl, as all know.
Just now she is wearing the willow:
Her beau went to Helena some time ago,
So the tears nightly dampen her pillow.
Miss NJ. B. is nice looking, but not very gay,
Some think she is naughty and proud,
But really it's better to be considered that
way,
Than be classed as girl who is "loud."
Miss T. S. is blonde of the strawberry shade,
She is tall, very graceful and slender.
Her bearing is dignified, quiet and staid,
Which pleases the masculine gender.
Miss A. NJ. is a pretty brunette, quite petite,
With shy, winning way, all her own.
She is very reserved, attractive and neat
Pm sure, flirting to her is unknown.
Miss NJ. J. is blonde with sweet, gentle
voice,
And eyes of clear azure hue;
She has captured gent who has long been
her choice,
And l trust he will always be true.
Miss M. NJ. is another fair maid of this place,
Decidedly pretty, quite young and retired.
She is truly the impersonation of grace,
Aud her nice, modest ways are extremely
admired.
thios '. is d DtII, Win udI eyes
Shaded with long, heavy lashes;
/ am sure if she wished, but she 1 ever once
tries,
She could easily make lots of mashes.
Miss j. 0. is a blonde exceedingly fair;
She is lovely in form and feature
A girl whom every one would declare
A refined and graceful creature.
Miss p. W. is a modest, demure little maid,
Who is reveling in her first dream of loye;
Her beau is devoted, at least so it's said,
And is all that her friends could approve.
Miss n. H. is pretty faced girl in her teens,
Who don't care fig for the gents:
From all have heard, and from what haye |
seen,
She's possessed with uncommon good sense. |
Miss A. d. is a bright, jolly girl, they all say,
Whose face with intelligence shines;
She enjoys large ball if its strictly az fat; |
A small hustle she always declines.
Now think 1 have come to the end of my |
list,
And hope the dear girls won't be vexed;
If there's any have inadvertently missed,
will mention them, sure, in my next.
MRS. MCGINTY.
