seemed to do her any good. The good lady
was almost distracted. To think of having

Oh, this is the tale Of a marble cast.

Who fell in love with maiden fair.
Whose studies in art. all made with care,
Were a wonderful sight to see.
OH the maiden fair was ''wedded to art,
Those were the words she passed;
Size had no time for frivolous balls,
Parties or suppers or afternoon ca!S,
But spent her time in antique halls,
And sketched away from the cast
One day the maid threw her arms around
The neck of the marbie cast;
Il love you, you dear old cast. said shes
Crhe sombrc image smiled with slee)
But a lover has come at last to me,
And my Art is done at last.
She twisted her apron around his neck,
And kissed his lips of stone
She took no heed as she tripped away
Of the petrified smile. Her own was gay
When she gave him the marble heart that
day,
But ne smiles there still-alone.
