CALLING THE TURN.
Put the arm-chair In the comer,
Near the brightly glowing grate;
George and Mabel will be in it
When the kitchen clock strikes eight.
PRIMAL. BRAVERY.
That man had sure a palate covered o'er
"With steel or brass, that on the rocky shoro
First ope'd the oozy oyster's pearly coat
And risked the living morsel down his throat.
CONJUGAL FELICITY.
The stars are brightly shining, love; .
And at the club I'm dining, love;
It's Joy for me
Sometimes to bo
"Whore I can't hear your whining, love.
HE WAS NOT OBTUSE.
Her lips were like the leaves, he said,
By Autumn crimson tinted ;
Some peoplo Autumn leaves preserve
By pressing them, she hinted.
The meaning of the gentle hint
The lover did discern,
And so he clasped her round the neck
And glued his lips to her'n.
A GAME CHICKEN.
A ohicken lived, a chicken died;
His drumsticks and his wings wure fried ;
His feathers, by a dealer dried,
Were very shortly after dyed.
Soul he had none; admitting that,
How comes it there, upon her hat.
His plumes a mortal chioken's rise,
V glorious bird of paradise?
THE SABBATH BELL.
The Sabbath is ft day
Designed for all to keep;
Some stay at home and rest,
Some go to church and sleep.
We've seen the thing ourselves;
And then, again, we've found
That lots of people go
' 5"o simply stare around,
This kind of folks, we fear
Who go to church for show
you'll find some, day will be
Guct&s ot the man below.
iSEMPBRjFIDELIS.
-J)mr .partner of my waking hours,
Companion of my 'sleep,
'Where'er I go, o'er fields of flowers,
Qr by the rocky steep;
.At day's decline, or morning's blush,
Or when the night lots down
"The mantle of its solemn hush
On sleeping vale and town;
In hours when hope and plensuro blend.
Or In my moments sad.
Thou elingest closer than a friend,
JJy faithful liver pad,
A "CANDIED" REPLY.
Wht shall I give yon, my love, my own ?"
Sakl the enraptured youth to his lady fair;
Bangles and bracelets for your white arms,
Or Jewels to twine In your golden hair?
A shawl from the looms of the fervid East.
Or satins and silks from thoe of France?
What shall I give you, my love, my own ?"
And he turned upon her his teoderest glance.
And the maiden's eyes they brightly shono
With the light of Joy am! love and truth,
And her breath came quick as her ears drank In
The honeyed words of tills ardent youth ;
Round her slender waist lie had placed an arm,
As he toyed with the curls on her sunny head.
"What shall I give ywi?" repealed he.
"Not quite so much tally," she arehly said.
THE VASSAR GIRL'S OPINION OF SLANG.
It's in the Houses, on the streets
I bear it everywhere;
If there's a plan to put It down,
Yon bet your U(e I'm there.
There are some riris, I know, of course.
In whom I eould excuse it ;
But really, now. It knocked me cold
To hear Miss Simpson use It.
She always seemed so stlfT and stem,
With lots of style to back It ;
But since 1'tb heard her ail alone.
i' ve mm men w ner racKeu
And there's tlmt very fresh Mfcw Jones,
I used to think so nice;
Somebody ought to come along
And put her down on Ice.
She asked me when, the other night,
I talked my very best
to give my tongue a holiday,
And go and take a rest.
And when I asked her What she meant.
For goodness gracious' take,
.She said I ought to have a belt.,
Awd that I took the cake.
She talks about that "beau" of hers
The Junky, shiftless lout;
If I had such a dizzy gawk.
I think I'd Are him out.
Now, I must go and tackle Greek
My Greek is rather queer
.Or .on examination day
X shan't eatch on. I fear.
