ME AND SHE.

There are two Molly Thmith' in the village, And it'th thuch an awkwaid affair, For we're both thixteen and thomething— Both little, both fat, both fair; And when a boy fiingth a thow-ball At her—it'th me q th hit. And I don't know how it thriketh Molly, Hut 1 don't like it a bit. They tell me you're the new teacher; Now, if I might make tho free, I'd like at onth to inthtructyou Aih to which ith her—which me. We're both alike troubled with lithping. Our beth frockth are tatheful and rich Alike-but in all other matterth Wera very much which and which. If you should thee one of uth thitting At her door, 'neath a mulberry tree. Patch- working, or mending;, or knitting. Or minding her book—that'thme. And if you thould meet one rambling In the woodth with a Ihacjgy cur, Jutht thinging and not doing nothing But kick dead leavth—that'th her. And if when the clath ith dithmithing On the Thabbath, one there should be Wjth a prithe for correct behaviour Tucked under her arm—that'th me. But if you thould hear one g'g *ling In church, during thervith, ihir. Right under thenothe of the parthon. And blushing dithgratlieful—that'th har If early you chanthed to po pathing Our way, and you chanthed to rhee One thpreading the freth-wathed linen On the dewy grath—that th me. But if in the cool of the evening , Two thadowdy formth you thpieS, Thlow-thtrolling aong in the thtar-light a Clothe.nethling thide by thide. And the were a blonde and chubby. And you had a call to infer Whothe head it wath ley on hith thoulder, 1 You may know onihe for all— her.
