She Was Not What She Seem

She Was Not What She Seemed.
When first we met, twas in the Spring.
The time when lovers lift their lays
She charmed me by her timid ways;
She seemed a shrinking little thing.
But that was twenty years ago;
How swiftly Time repeats his rounds!
Her weight is now two hundred pounds,
And still she seems to daily grow.

A SINGULAR case has recently been decid-

punished . hayward boy by flogging on tho
legs with q leather strap. Shortly after
