Prlscl Has Pride,

Priscilla was village m aid Of features wondrous pretty, Whose father had retired from trade And likewise from the city. Of all tho country swains, not one Found favor in her eyes; She dounted every mothers son And mimicked all their sighs. In vain their precious time was spent In wooing such as she; In vain were all their presents sent- Her heart was fancy free. To all the honest lads who were By fair Priscilla smitten And fondly offered love to her She gave alike-a mitten. Her saucy nose 30 retrousse, tride higher scared; And in her highfalutin way She hinted sho was bored So one by one the lovers took Their calcined hearts away; And some the quiet town forsook To wander far astray. The years rolled on yet still was she A single woman rated- Though gossips said her fancy free Was getting antiQuated. Her former lovers all were wed. But all alone she staid- The paths of sptnsterhood to tread A vinegarish maid. Priscilla once 90 fair and proud, Now shunned by all the mon, Would give her fortune if allowed To live her life again

 A Cordial Invitation. Ohi come. my love, st the dawn. Como at the break of day; What time tho biackbird on tho thorn Chants his first roundelay. Come. love. when tho sun at noon Sheds his refulgent beams; When the oricket's chirping tuno Breaks on the poets dreams. Come. love- when the twilight falls When the dew is on tho void. When the strident night bird calls, And tho sheep are in tho fold. Ohi como not with the psnsive lookA Or blind devotion rash; Come, love, with thy banking books And pockets full of cash.

to hear, who would perhaps not
otherwise have been present This too

but fix the facts indelibly upon the minds
