HOLDING THE REINs.

L.
The night WA clear, the sleighing good.
The cutter seat not wide,
She snuggled close beneath the robe
To her fond lovers side.
The horse was spirited and jumped
With frequent tugs and strains,
Until she in~nocently said:
'Do let me hold the reinsp
They're married now, perhaps because
She was SO helpless then.
She loves him well, and he loves her
Well, in the way of men,
And yet in all their sweet delight
One sad thought makes him vince;
She held the reins that winters night,
She's held them ever since.

Of the Prince Regent, the only woman
