" Now I guess it all I " cried she ; " You're in love, I plainly see, * And afraid to tell her. Fie 1 " " You're a witoh to guess so well," Answered he. " I would like to have you tell How to make a Biok heart well ; Kindly now prescribe for me." " Every heart will cure a heart," Low laughed she. " You must find another heart, Then your own will lose its smart, Try this olden remedy." " Let me have your heart," he plead. II Nay ! " said she. " I have none." «No heart ! " he swd ; " Then I go tracqmforted, Mine a broken' heart must be." "It is yours J " and she laughed low ; " Don't you see ? I prescribed it long ago, Seeing that you suffered so. What so blind as men oan be ? " " Had I only known before," - Whispered he. " What a cure you had io i store 1 " " You'd have suffered all the more ; Men are foolish things," said she. -
