You've been turning me down with your

You may think it amusing, refusing
The offers I've made Of my hand.

It is more than a fellow can stand.
It is hard to be doing this wooing.
So long when you never respond
When the chance is 30 small you'll be IN
when I call ,
It is hard to be faithful and fond;
When. you yawn through my visit, now
is it
A thing that q fellow would like?
You must make up your mind pretty soon
to be kind
Or, I give you fair warning, I'll strike.
It's q strain on affection; rejection
And snubbing's not easy to bear,
When with others you firt my best feel
ings are hurt,
It seems almost a hopeless affair. e.
1t has spoiled my good humor, this rumor,
I can't say that I like it q bit. .

that is an o~ver-sensitive disposition.
What a curse sensitiveness is both to

them suffer needlessly and imagine

THE BABY.

How strange it seemed to wake last night
And hear the baby breathe-the room
Under the night-lamp's shaded light
Wrapped softly in a gentle gloom!
What mystic wonder stirred us then,
With joy and love what mingled awe,
Before this little slumberer, when
The fowerlike face we dimly saw!
"A moment there we hung appalled,.
Fearing to read in life's long scrolls
Fate of this soul that we had called
Out of the vastly deep of souls.
Perhaps the Lord of Being bent
That instant to our sudden prayer
For still the low breath came and went,
But peace and blessing filled the air.

London In Winter.

Cheerfulness is necessary to sup
