Lisappointment.
A moonlit sky, an evening fair, And on the lawn a loving pair ; Beneath the trees where lights &re dim The man and maid seek out the nook, The scene takes on an altered look; The hammock idly swings no jaore, here But the moonlit sky and the evening fair, The hammock taut, with the loving pair, Are a little bit more than the tree can stan3, And • they all mix up when 'they " ' ■ ." .come to land. -■ - — Cincinnati Inquirer.
