TIOS GIRLS. Oh ! tho pirls, tho
beautiful giris, AVith tho liquid oyos
and tho golden curl«, Soiling aloiij
through the orowded street. Turning the
heads of tho youths th*y nisei» Tilting,
(rimming along; Beautiful girls¡-th*y
can do nothing wrong. The- blush of tho
roe« on oacb soft, dainty clitfllv In
which lovely dimples play hide-
and-g«-s««k ; Showing their ankle» and a
little abovo, Pureas an nnglc> tickle as
love. Oh I the girls, tho-beantiful
girls. How the ooys gatier and sigh
aseaeh whirls] Her tilter along at a1
delicate height, Just skirting tho
beauties forbidden, to sight. Tripping,
Laughing, Hurrying hy ; With a smile on
tho lip mid coy glance of Hie c/Jt,
And<tho little dogs hark, and with
joyous boaad Snap at the tilters that
oddy around ; Tho town, ia nlivo and
eaoh hoart in a whirl To welcome- tito
coming of each lovaly girl. How lovoly
thoy look as thoy tooter along'. Hailing
each other with Meses and song. And puot
a poor follow like-meteors ihuE hy.
Bright for a moment, then .lost to tho
oye. Biggling, Swinging, JÛashing thoy
go. Disrogajding. tho breeze thatiplays
havoc faclowv With long, lloating trail,
ns pur» as tho sky. To bo trampled ia
mud by the crowds rushing- by ; To bo
trampled and tracktd by dozens of foot^
Till it bends willi filth in thc homblo
Btrcet. Once I tripped upon a tiltor and
foll Just aa I passed a gayly drossod'
belle Foll, and my beaver rolled out in,
tho streetFell, to be scoffed at and
jeered at and best. Scrambling, Curding,
Dreading to rise, And afraid,.ou my
soul, to open my eyes. Abovo aud around
mo tho tho broadest cxpaaso Of hoops
that e'or tilted in giddy round dane*
Wildly at last I darted without, And
dashed down the street aa> the boya
raised % shout. Onco I was creon a» tho
greonoat of leaf, Nothing too DIB:
tooxcoed my boliof ;. Iivory girl
lauphodot my innocent graco, And vowed
that I looked at naught obw but her
fae*» ,., Greenness, Credulity, Graco
and nil. Shame and my blushes I loBt by
that foll. I learn nothing; new as tho
girls saunter by,. And tilter their
hoope-no inattor how high» For all
that's within or without I know, Since I
tripped on that tilter and mado such a
gol Haw strange if that patent
heavingr.hosom of snow Should foll nt
her fe«t on tho pavernnnt hnlow t How
strange if that pilo of tightly bound
tresne» Should roll down her bask from
tio hoad it depresses tr Fainting
Freezing, Rushing ahead, Unmindful of
all eave thu beauties thus »liedL Tho
tilters dropped oil' and loft foo
behind; The littlo luco bonnet Hying off
ia tho wind; But tlie worst of mishaps
(they do-nothing by lialvw), now strange
if, in running, she'd drop nor falaft
calves
