your own profiigacy. You will not attain

You have had one love affair that has
embittered your life. You are a school

unhappy circumstances in girlhood. You
have never married because of this great
disappointment. A legacy is indicated in
your siXtieth year.
ISABEL BAXTER. Petaluma-Yours is
a dreamy nature, given to periods of in

The Old Time Hero

Swashbuckler to the core was he,
His highway was the universe;
With equal grace and gallantry
He snatched kiss or cut a purse.
Thatday was lost to him, in truth.
In which he failed to break a lance;
A merry gentleman, forsooth-
The picaroon of old romance!
How well we know his Jenkins cut,
Or color of his gay cockade,
His lusty buster and his strut,
And exc the glitter of his blade!
And how we've loved his platterdash-
Aye, every one of us that readsi-
And joyed to see him cut and slash,
And gloried in his CORY deedsl
All, there's the hero to our mind!
No languid airs for him, parfay!
A damsel in distress to find
Hot foot he'd travel night and day:
And when he found her, as was sure,
DDS daggerS! there was sport for him

To purple and to plush,
And that I'd never moved with Docks

With strawb'ry leaves; she sets

And while this bosom throbs,
My soul must bear with calm song
