A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL.

She knows fables allegoric,
She is up in things historic,
Browning's language metaphorie
She'll decipher if you please.
Orbits normal and erratic,
Knotty problems mathematic,
Both dynamical and static,
She'll explain to you with ease.
In the classics she's a teaser,
And it really seems to please her
To read Xenophon and Cesar,
Homer, Virgil and the rest.
You will find with wonder that in
Ancient tongues she loves to chat in,
Such as Sanslzrit. Greek and Latin,
With great fuency and zest.
She can talk of bolts electric,
Prove all theorems geolnetric,
Weighing planets is q pet trick
OF this young and learned maid.
But her mind win be so weighted
By the time 3he's graduated
That with knowledge she'll be stated
am very much afraid.
Cupids darts she oft has parried,
But her heart will yet be carried,
And she'll probably be married
By an everyday young man
Then she'll find with household fretting,
Not to mention cares that set in,
Her vast learning she S forgetting
Just as quickly as she can.

Scme time in every woInan's life It
comes to her, they say-this odd mingling
of admiration and tenderness and romance
which men call love-and 1 was fool to
think that it would never come to me. I
am five and twenty next birthday.
If I had been beautiful, 7 would have
tried to charm him, I would have made
myself SO that he would have been willing
to die for me, and some day would have
been his wife.
They put dates upon tombstones, don't
they? Over this grave of my first grand
penehant will, write this date:

circumstantial evidence
In a matter as important as the disposal
of her heart she could not be too careful.
