From NfA

How dear to this heart arc the old.fashioned dresses.
Whom FOND recollection presents them to vfewl
In fancy I see the old wardrobes and presses
Which held the loved gowns that in girlhood i
knew.
The widospreading mohair. the silk that hung by IL,
The straw. colored satin with mi of browns
The rntied foulard. the pink organdie nigh It;
But. oh! for the pocket that hung in each gownl
Tire old. fashioned pocket, the obsolete pocket
The p~raiseworthy pocket that hung in earh gown.
That dear. roomy pocket I'd hail a. O treasure.
Could I but behold It in gowns OF to-day;
I'd hnd II the source OF an exquisite pleasure,
But all my modistas sternly answer me "Nayr'
'Twould he so convenient when going out shopping.
'Twould hold my small purchases coming from
town;
And always my purse or my kerchief I'm dropping
oh. mel for the pocket that hung in my gown.
The oid.fashioned pocket. the obsolete pocket,
The praiseworthy pocket that hung in M gown.
A gown with q pocket How fondly I'd guard I'll
Each day ere I'd don II, I'd brush II with caro-,
Not q full Paris costume could make me discard it.
Though trimmed with the lares an Empress might
wear.
But have no hope. for the fashion IS ~banished,
Thu tear OF regret will my fond visions drown;
Az fancy reverts to the days that have vanished.
sigh for the pocket that hung in my gown.
The old.rashiUned pocket, the obsolete pocket,
Tho p~raiseworthy pocket that hung in my gown.

HOW He won Her.

Prom the Toledo Evening NetCo.
Fast he held her hand in his.n.
In q sort OF love-locked prison.
While he told tho burning story of the love thns rent
his breast.
And the maiden aat and listened,
While her eyes with triumph 1listened,
As his all-consuming passion he in trembling tones
confessed.
But she tenderly repulaed him..
How her words with pain convulsed him.
But he'd often heard that fainting heart ne'eR won
fair lady yet.
And with eyes upon that beacon,
Hoping that she yet might weaken,
Every point Of her objection he with valiant vtgof
met.
Yet the maid was unrelenting,
Gave no token Of repenting.
Though the burning words he uttered seemed 70 al
most SINCE her earal
To his every plea emphatic,
She would shake her curi.topped attic,
And his feeling overcame him till he almost burst IN
tearB I;
Then o thrill OF hope ran through HIM
Az o happy thought came to him.
Ana the bells of Joy within him rang Q wila and
merry peal
As she fell upon his hosom, r.
HugRod him % in fear she'd lose him
he had promised that his bridal gift would bo aohain-
loss wheel.
