a tribute to the southern women, and
said that the occasional outbreaks OF

FOR HER.

For her, what mHrvcia he would do!
For her what dangerous paths pursue!
What valorous ambitions stir
For heri
No worldly station is too proud.
the ccholng plaudits OF the CROWD
Are worth the pain-though sharp the
spur
For her!
Md yet, remote from flames unrest,
Love smiles and seems to thrive the best.
And life is sweet, she wi;i aver
For herr
Though fortunes gifts oe strangely few
Her tender woman heart and true
Feels that he plcds without. dcmur
For her!
