wrote the following lines on the sweet
girl graduate. AS the commencement
exercises oil our public schools took place
last evening perhaps 1t 10 not out Of place
to give the same to day:
She ls waiting for the signal for the
sounding OF the bell
That will start the young reporter all her
triumphs glad to tell.
How he'll rave about her talents and her
shy reluctant feet.
And he'll ring in all the changes where
the brook and river meet.
He Will write such glowing columns Of
her brlmming golden curls,
He will crown her queen triumphant OF
the rosebud wreath of girls
lie will chant her praises ever, from the
dewy morn till night.
And she'll wear In every instance some
soft clinging stun OF white.
But shs doesn't mind the chatter that he
writes a little bit.
For she's conscious that her crepe de
chone will surely mako a hit
And her essay. tied with ribbon, which
will say. us heretofore.
That the Past she's left behind her, and
the future Is before!
How she'll tremble as she courtesys over
her ribbon-tled bouquet.
How she'll sweetly Hush and ilutter as
she shyly Gibbs away,
And a tenr will brlm her lashes as eho
nestles by her mate;
What dear. delicious humbug Ia the
sweet girl GRADUATED!
Oh the posts tell the glory OF the leefy
month OF June,
And they sing the tune of roses to an old
and worn out tune;
But the man who reads the papers feels
thrill oil helpless hute.
II he hasn't got daughter who's q sweet
girl graduate!
