NO TIDINGS.
"No tidings," she said, "of my love to-day, Since he called that quid to borrow ; 60 bacfc to my home i'Jl take my way— Perchance he will come to-morrow. " No tidings," she sighed when the morrow came, And it brought not her absent lover : Then she called at the station and left her namfe, .Lest his body they should discover. " No tidings," she wailed, as the days went by, And each day she felt forlorner ; Then a cold she caught in her wistful eye, Through waiting so long at the comer. Ah ? tidings at last! In the news to-day There's a name that reads like his n— With a broken head in a dranken^frajr, And a couple of months in pris'n.
