HARD TO CONQUER.
There's the girl whose struck on fencing, and the girl who's just commencing to be somewhat interested in the art of self-defence ; There's the girl who's good at riding, and the girl who takes to striding over leagues of dale and mountain with energy intense ; There's the girl who worships rowing, and the one who's fond of showing a marksmanship astounding in a person of her sex ; There's the girl who's always ready, with a nerve both true and steady, when woeful dangers threaten or difficulties vex ; But despite the manly carriage and the open scorn of marriage, which the independent ladies seem to think so very nice, Yon may, perhaps, have noted that they're very seldom quoted, as having lost completely their inherent fear of mice.
