BEAUTIFUL KITTY.

Beautiful Kitty, the sprightly, the witty, The laughing young tyrant that dwells by the wood ; Bewitching or teasing, vexations or pleasing, I Was e'er such a compound of evil aud good ? j Her cheeks like an apple, her limbs fine and ' supple, Are mu*ic embodied for mortals to see ; Her silky brown tresses, that every wind kisses, Have curled round my heart and made captive | of me. I I said if another she chose for her lover j I would leap from the tall cliff .that hangs o'er the wave ; 1 thought she smiled kindly— but, ah ! I saw blindly, - — For she only said "My ! what ff fall you would I have ! " Omy heart, sad and sinking, is weary of thinking i As moping all day by tbe chimney I sit ; . 'Tis a hopelesß condition, I'm sure no physician J Can cui<3 me of love for that wild-hear led Kit. " j April 1897. — H. J. B. ;
