PALMIBTB7. «—■»«»- U HLDBETH. glut, M me nad this little palm S Pcnhance 'tie tme, as sages say, That then is written many a charm To draw the future's veil away. I anse the dainty finger-tips— Tia a preliminary part; us how them softly to my lips— Tie a requirement of the art. Han rani the life line, long end deep; New eroesei on its snowy plain; Ah, seldom, sweet one, meyst thou weep, AnJ ffUrmt know the touch of pain I and ben the line of wealth I see, Lost in a border line above; 111 know aught, that line should be The sign of true and perfect love. Ay. tall across the palm it curves, And aide by side with life it tends i It never falters, saver swerves, Aod only with the life it ends. And ban another humbler line I Tie that of one who loves thee dear; Bn how it tolloweth clow to thine, Tet duath sot approach too near. Tat, stay 1 they touch—they line with his— Look whan the fateful symbols mast I Sure that conjunction means a kiss I Ob, haste, fulfil tbs oman sweat I —Boston Tronterif*,
