Floating on the stream; I'll.
Only room enough for two
And q blissful dream.
Just a little maid demure
Sitting in the bow;
Eyes that twinkle. lips that lure
Cheeks with health aglow.
Just a little sail We took
Like to take some more
Where their heads the willows shook
Along the faded shore.
Just a little tale of love
Underneath the trees,
While the cloudlets UP above
Drifted with the breeze.
Just a little promise won
From tho maiden meek.
Kept as faithful as the sun
Just a little week.

THE BRONX.

10 the Editor of the Evening Star.
Why is the Bronx borough in New
York city 30 called? b. B. N.
1.-THE region took its name from the
Bronx river. The Indian name OF this
river was Ah-qua-hung. Early in the
seventeenth century Jonas Bronck, a
Dane, came to this country and re-
ceived a grant of land running from
the Harlem river to the Bronx. The
present name of Bronx is doubtless a
derivation from the name of the old
settler Bronck.-Ed.1
