A SWEET STORY OF SWEET THINGS.
A sweet young man to iiis sweetheart said
"How sweet it would be if we were wed.
For I love you much it'your hair is red."
The maiden angrily shook Iter liead.
"But," saicrtie, "you can't always, you know,
He 'a sweet young thing* tor time does go;
As well marry ine as some other fellow."
She shook lier head anil told liim to GO.
"We would get some chickens and a cow,
A sweet littlo barn with hay iii the mow,
A sweet little cat and a big lloiv wow,
A team, a harness anil a plow
A house, and lot with a great nice yard in,
A fat little pig in a pen by the garden,
And a dear little kettle to try out the lard in."
She shook her head, (but begged his pardon.)
"We would have some pictures on the walls,
Hunker's Hill' and 'Xiagra Falls,
'Sunshine on Corn iieids,' '.Shipwrecks ami
Squalls.'
Photographs ol my l'olks, and you all's,
I'll get you a frame, and a portrait too,
Some Photo Huttons enameled in blue,
And a watch charm locket, built for two."
—She finally smiled, and said "You'll do."
So they went to the Jtuljje to got licensed and
wed,
To the Photograph Gallery then they sped,
