"Fine fresh herrin-fower penny, he
roared in fashion that made the windows
rattle.
A woman approached the barrow and
eyed the fish with certain amount Of
suspicion, which, considering the cirCum-

Are they freshY" she demanded, With a
suspicious sniff

"Yes, responded the other with touch
Of sarcasm, II think ] card yer say SO.
But are they fresh?"
"For aught know, mum, they is.
"When wor they cotched?'
This was too much, and, adopting the
sarcastic style of his questioner, the hawker
replied:

Half of sunbeam, half of air,
Quaint and saucy, free and fair,
Seen through mist of golden hair.

But an everlasting kiss;
Hath score Of pretty wiles
And an armory of smiles;
Eyes that shoot thousand glances,
Quicker than the sunlight dances;
Dewy eyes of radiant mirth,
Eyes not wholly used to earth,
That espy with fond delight
Vision hid from duller sight.
Ask her what that vision be;
She will laugh aloud for Rlee.

Pretty, little, pranking elf
And she loves me; therefore
Sing her praise eternally.
