A LOVE STORY.
I straggled to kiss her, she struggled the same To prevent me, so bold and Undaunted ; But, as smitten by lightning, I heard her exclaim, " Avnunt, sir."— So I avaunted. But when I returned, with the fiendishest laugh. Showing clearly that I was affronted, And threatened by main force to carry her off, She cried "Don't."— So I donted. Then I meekly approached and knelt at hei feet. Praying loud as before I had ranted, , Asking her to forgive me and try to be sweet, And said "Can't you?"— The dear girl recanted. Then softly I whispered, "How could you do so ? I certainly thought I was jilted. But come then with me ; to the parson's we'll go. Wilt thou, my dear? "—and she wilted. Then gaily I took her to see our new home — A shanty by no means enchanted. See, here we can live with no lorging to roam, And said, "Shan't we, my dear? "--so we shanted.
