THE FOUR-LEAVED CLOVER.
Doris. in her gown of white.
Gayly dotted over
VIA tiny sprays oI poiseS bright,
Hunts the fOur-leayed clover.
In the meadow, with the bees
All about her hummng,
All impatient till she sees
II good luck is coming.
Doris, in her ruffled gown,
Hunting four-leaved clover,
AS she searches up and down,
huns this ditty over:
Three, let be. Five, let thrive,
Pass the six-leaf over.
But four-leaf pluck: it brings gooe
luck
Benny four-leaved clover!'

that is, unless you have brought along
some prudent persons who tell You
not to go in those wet caves with

weeping? Here is the legend:
Albert de Chaulin. son of a rich
seigneur, fell in love with a beauti-
