AL LOVE.

Probably no en- except "The Beau
tjful Snow" has been accredited to more
sources than th Mrs. Browning, Mary
n I,atbrop. ADELAIDE Proctor and Ella
Wheeler Wilcoj hre all spoken Of as au-
thors:
Do YOU know you Evs asked for the costliest
thing
Ever made by tn hand above:
A woman's heart ad q womans lie
And woman's woadrous love.
Do YOU know you ave asked for this pricsless
thing
As child migh.ask for toy:
Demanding what hhsrs have died 70 win,
With the reckless dash OF boy!
You have written ny lessons OF duty out
Nan-like have yoi ques Toned me
Now stand at the oar OF my woman SOU
Until shall question thee.
You require your milton shall always be hot,
Your SOCKS and Niur shirts be whole;
require your hear to be true "a God stsr.-
And as pure as rs heaven your soul
You REQUIRE coe l for your mutton and beef;
require far eater thing;
seamstress you + wanting ior SOCKS Anu Io'
shirts;
~
A king for the bes tiful world called home,
And a man that DE maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did on the nrsi'
And say. lit Is very good"
am fair aud young. but the roses will fade
From my SOFT yo .ns cheek one day
Will you love then mid the falling leaves
As you did 'mons the bloom OF May!
Is your heart sn ocean so strong and deep
may launch my all on It's tide:
A lsvlng woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made bride
require all things that are grand and true,
All this that man should be:
II you give this al. would stake my life
10 be All you demand OF N ..
II you cannot be this-a laundress and cook
You can hire, aud little 10 pay:
But 4 vomGn's heart and q woman's lie
Are never won in that way.
This has been written by an anony-
nous author in answer to the above
poem:
stand at the bar Of your pure womsn's soul,
Condemned in the cause that you plead
u only defense is the simple request
That you'll judge me by motive, not deed.
For remember that mans but child in the
dark,
Though formed by the hand from above;
He Will fall many times, but shall walk fotth AZ
last,
In the sunshine Of inanits love.
You say that the man who gains your love
Must be brave, and true aad good;
| answer that she who WINS my heart
Must be . type OF true womanhood.
Won saw that YOU look for a IMAM and King"
A very Prince of the race;
I look for kind and generous heart
Aud not for q Queeuly face.
You REQUIRE ''all things that are good and true,
All things that n man should be;
I max for a woman, with all that implies,
And that is sufficient for Inc.
You.ask fora man without fault,
To live with here on earth
| AJAX for a woman, faults and ALL
For by faultsiI may judge OF worth.
ask for a woman made as Of old,
A higher form Of man;
His comforter, helper, adviser and friend
AS in the original plan.
A woman who has an aim in life,
Who dnds life worth the living;
who makes the world better for being here,
And for others her life is giving.
I will not require all that have asked
In these lines so poer ana few;
| only pray that you may be all
That God can make OF you.
For your heart, and life, and love,
Are sacred things to me;
And am stake my life" that I'll be to you
whatever l ought to be.
