IMITATION OF" BEAUTIFUL SNOW.' -0 A

YOUNG GIRL. -0 the cycles, the circling

cycles. Whirling so swiftly over the

ground. Threading their way through

crowded streets, Shooting by with a

whirr-r-ing sound Dancing, flirting,

skimming along, ChArming cycles, can

they do :wrong I Passing one with a

noiseless stride, Swaying near though

the road be wide, Forth from a corner

suddenly springing, Their startling bell

vi'lently ringing. The latest amusement

under the sunHow their riders laugh as

they go Whirling about in maddeningfun,

Chasing, racingT hurrying by. They

brightenthe face and light up the eye,

And the dogs,. with a bark and' a bound,

Snap at the cycles, as they eddy around.

The city's alive and longing to show How

swiftly on cycles it can go. How wildly

the riders-go swaying along, Hailing

eaohlother with humor and song ! How

the- light cycles like-meteors flash by

! Bright for a. moment,.then, lost to

the eye. Ringing, swinging, dashing,

they go, Their tyres appearing whiter-

than snow. The newest pastime under the.

sun, .-u-. - oa:wtlll' "~. lia?t.Ja;gr&
