The Man From Jersey Lowers His Record

When entertained at the Sir Walter

a really necessary luxury. 1.-THE world
will insist upon tobacco, daily papers
and novels until the end of time.

DIVINE AWE.

To trelnble when touch her hands
With awe that no man understands,
To feel soft reverence arise
When, lover sweet, meet her eyes;
To see her beauty grow and shine
When most feel this awe divine
Whate'er befall me this is mine,
And where about the room she moves
My spirit follows her and loves.
