One corner Of her girlish heart she

who, as you'll divine,
Through having dwelt there many
years, had stronger claims than
mine

spread of love displaced
If Cousin Johns or Uncle Wills heart
lodgings were effaced;
Yet soon ! found the quarters cramp-
ed, and with a wooer's art
I coaxed an added portion to that cor
ner of her heart.
The transfer was arranged, and, oh,
the ripple OF her laugh
When she avowed: Your corners
grown till now much more than
half
My heart you're occupying, dear. You
Well know what that means
That all the other tenants now are
crowded like sardines"
We'll, more OF them will have to
move" with candor avowed,
while those whom you select TO stay
must still more closely crowd!''
And move they did (clear out at last)
