POETRY.
UMBRELLA COURTSHIP. The wind was damp with coming wet When James and blue-eyed Lizzie met ; He held a gingham o’er his bead, And to the maiden thus he said : “ Oh, lovely girl, my heart’s afire With love’s unquenchable desire ; Say, dearest one, wilt thou be mine, And join me in the grocery line? ’ ThfMnaid, in accents sweet replied ; “ jTftx, hold the umbrella more my side ; My bran-new bonnet’s getting wet — I’ll marry yer, yer needn’t fret.”
