THE GIRL FOR ME.

machine

Just fair enough to be pretty, Just gentle enough to be sweet, Just saucy enough to be witty. Jus' dainty enough to be neat, Jus. tall en.m^h to be graceful, Just slight enough for a fay, Just dress enough to be _asteiul, Just merry enough to be gay. Just tears enough to be tender. Just sighs enough to be sad, Tones soft enough to remember. Your heart through their cadence made glad. Just meek enough for submission, Just b >ld enough to be brave, Just in-ide enough for ambition, Just thoughtful enough to be grave.

A tongue that can talk without harming, ■ Just mischief enough to tense, Manners pleasant enough to be cliarinniff, That put you at once at your ease. Disdain to put down presumption, Sarcasm to answer a fool, Cool contempt enough shown to assumption, Proper dignity always tha rule. Flights of fair fancy ethereal, Devotion to science full paid, Stuff of the sort; of material That really good housewives arc made. Generous enough and kind-hearted, Pure as the angels above— Oh ! from her may I never be parted, For such is the maiden I love.
