A TRIBUTE.
The following versos have been handed to ns for publication as a tribute to (he gracefulness of one of the performers at the recent Patriotic' Concert, by “one of the audience’’ :
Ah, Kate, well may you ask, “Could 1 pie-k out Eileen?” Amongst the l chorus girls who graced Britannia’s se-eme. Somehow mine eyes followed her’s, right throughout the scene, 1 walche'd her from the rising ’till the 1 falling se-rcen.
I watclmd her “Chorus Dance l ” ; she t ripped it, eh, so edean ; Gracefully she played her role —the best that 1 have seem. 1 walche'd her, too, when she appemred draped in emerald green: I could not help but wish that she wewe 1 my Coleen.
1 watche'd the l gentle rising of her tuneful breast That, breathed to am her harmony — I fell impressed ; My soul seemed still, the outside world seemed hushed to rest, 1 felt alone 1 , inspired—-deep thoughts within me pressed.
Newel 1 tedl more .’ But we're I blind and could not see, Thus painful by a hapless wish 1 would never be. The rapture of my send I wished that she could see; But Kate, 1 wish the hand of Fate would guide her em to me.
