The Burglar.


Hastens to her princely hall,
Languidly she climbed the stairway,
Darkness settles over all.
For as yet tis early morning,
Maid anear awaits command;
Follows mutely to her chamber,
And assists with gentle hand.
Deft removes the cloak and bonnet,
Marks her mistress cheek grow pale;
Notes the eye-balls wild diated,
But she thinks her mistress frail,
Hath o'er taxed herself in dancing,
So she makes no comment there;
But removes the sparkling jewels,
From the neck so passing fair,
Quick removing all the trappings,
Beauty unadorned is there;
There in voice SO strangely hollow,
As if she hath known despair.
Quoth the widow, ''Place my jewels
In the casket, the whole set;
Put on shelf in your deep closet,
You may leave me now, Bnrbette.''
Mute the maid follows directions,
Soon her mistress is alone;
Alone? would it We're sooth-saying,
But the truth to her is known.
When she fiuttered in her chamber,
Loath to pass her mirror BY:
She had caught her own II fections,
An besides-a human eye
Villianous it beamed upon her,
Underneath canopied bedA
Shocking her like bolt of lightning,
Well she knows her maid had fled.
Did she then betray the burglar,
Then he, life and jewclry would take,
So affecting not to note it.
Subtly, she trap doth make.
Then the little hand all trembling,
Quick turns ont electric light;
And herself benumbed with terror,
Cuddles down on bed snow white.
Very soon sOnorous breathing,
Would impress him that she sleeps;
When she feels the curtains tremble,
From beneath, the william creeps.
All her senses now are dwelling,
Lays she in an apathy;
AS a mouse in tolls of kitten,
In trance would seem to be.
Feels an eye herself encompass,
Hears the hateful low drawn breath:
God of mercy Can she brave it?
Be thou with her unto death,
But the eyelids never quiver,
Well she books his scrutiny;
And she feels the curtains futter,
AS he moves off stealthily.
Gains she now the oaken closet,
Key reposes in its lock;
Then he gropes for jewel casket,
Drops it with sudden shock.
Presto! Change! the would-be sleeper
Bids to sleep a quick adieu;
Locks him in the oaken closet,
He has i'met his Waterloo"
Loud and piercing on the night air,
Rings a voice hysterical;
And the servants from their quarters,
Readily attend the call.
Quick the frightened footman posted,
Soon he brings detectives grim;
And they manacle the burglar,
Long they have been after him.
There the heroine comes forward,
At the captive looks askance;
Then succumbs to nerve prostration,
Twas her partner in the dance.
Quick the press in all the country,
Chronicles the deed well done;
Lol that widow is the fashion,
And she has a splendid run.
She approached by naughty Cupid,
Holds not from his dart aloof;
Weds she soon, but long she poses,
AS the widow burglar proof"
