AT BRIDGE.
She still sits at bridge at midnight, As the. clocks are striking the hour; y 0 thought of her home or her family To move her have the power. Flow often, oh, how often, Summer and winter' through, Has she sat thus at bridge at midnight— Ay, sometimes till one and two ! And how often, oh, how often Through the golden hours of day, Has she striven with otheibs like her For purse or prize at play ! And for ever and for <*ver, While this fad our fair land sweeps Will she bridge the interval daily 'Twixt the time she wakes and sleeps ! So she still' sits at bridge at midnight, And pride in her bosom stirs, For she holds the best score of a series And the tournament trophy is hers !
