Maidens of beauty whose charms are not few.
Dainty Dianas of favors quite chary;
Reginald, fresh from the ranch on the plain;
Learned girl graduates, Sallie and Mary,
Meeting and greeting at Christmas again.
Still, to my fancy, the fairest of faces

Framed In soft wrappers and delicate laces,

Watching the dancers with eyes growing ten

Holding the loving hands near to defend her.

w!,ohi THE GODS LOVE.

You say that being SO old
Twas time for him to die?
Rings not your comment cold
And avel iahurnan? Why.
Should tendercr tears be shed
When death lays young lives low.
Spared years Of sorrow and fret.
Spared ages overthrow?
When young we are called away,
WE shirll untold regret,
Fer a1stera Ti.no will slay
Not merely ovorselyes, but yet
Brand with authentic sign
His despotisns elsewhere
Drape wisps of silyering hair
Ger eyes beloved-plow line
And furroyy on treasured cheeks.
Whom the gods love die young!
All, ne! There wisdon's tongue
With sovereign accent speaks!
Pity the old who die.
The young behind them leave
Such bounteous grief whereby
Fate bids they should not griev
Heart racketl with many a sigh,
Wounded with many a scar
Pity the old who die;
The young are happier far.
