A LESSON ON PHYSICS. You see her in the merry danee — She seems to fl> ; But you don't see that rapid glance F»'oni her brighi eye Flashthrou.h the long and crowded room-; He only sees ihat glance to whom It brings' extreme felicity: That', Meciricity •! They dance together, full of grace, Uhe-olngs so c!oje; And on his shoulder rests her face — A brushing rose; Lile in th :t hour seems doubly sweet, They see it through a rosy pri.-m; Their h«'nda so lony and often meet: That's Galvanism! The ni.aht has come to him, but still JN'o sUep has Ivrou.ht; To her, : t tof ugh quite beyond his will, Flies every '.bought. - In vaii^k struggle is with facts-*— Iv vain is nil such heroism — Too powerfully she attracts^ That's MsignetL*ni!
