MISS STATED.

To kiss, alas! and then to part, Brings sadness to the loving heart; Long years, perhaps, may intervene. And tempests drop dark folds between, ."While imps of darkness ply their art. "At such farewells, salt tears will start, And naught allays the bitter smart; We do not know what it may mean, To kiss, alas 1 A maiden said," "Xou have the cart Before the horse, '/ in tones quite tart; Reflecting, she was sweet sixteen, And most events come unforeseen, I bent at touch of Cupid's dart, To kiss a lass! —Brooklyn Life.
