WHEN SUE GLANCED AT ME.

The world can boast Of many things not
known OF long ago,
When earth seemed troubled with the
govt, and science and art were slow
Now everything conspires to bring but
luxury and ease,
And progress has, some say, improved on
nature by degrees;
But naught can give its substtute-as
naught has yet improved
The genuine, old-fashioned thrill that
comes OF being loved.
Such as ! own felt Of old in eminent de-
gree,
When Sue behind the window blinds once
shyly glanced at me-
She was a little lass ! knew away back
In my youth,
And, II not up to date, the fact awakes
In me no ruth.
To-day's affected love OF art for arts
sake would have been
To her old-fashioned views OF things but
little short Of sin:
She never dreamed that paltering would
strike the tcmpter dumb,
And Zolaism furnished not her mental
pabulum;
And nll this purity was there, | could but
clearly see,
When Sue behind the window blinds
glanced shyly out at me.
II III becomes the heart OF age to over
iiow with sighs-
II gone the roses, says the poet, their
ashes must suffice.
When white hairs tell the time to leave
of cakes and ale Is here.
We ought TO turn our thoughts upon a
more enduring sphere;
But somehow there's pleasure yet In
calling mp the way
That one bright pair Of eyes could make
Of night the fairest day;
For on my sight there glowed the light
ne'er seen on land or sea
When Sne behind the window blinds
glanced shyly out at mel
