Andy's Echo.
SoMiiWHURc in tho vale of Killarney. So famous for love and for blarney, An esho spakes clear a<3 a bell. Now love was the mutter wid Andy, And wuB morning, bright, fresh and handy, He vowed he would try it a spell. And Kitty, tho same unbeknowing, Just happened that way to bo going, And eat down to reat on the stile. Sweet Summer the trees waa adorning, The birds were nil Bpeaking " Good morning." «In a way that made Kitty smile. Andy never dreamt she was near him, And cried, so the echo migkt hear him : " Ocb, Kitty, I'm dying for you 1 " When Kate, with a voioe like a starling, Cried : '• Andy, please don't, there's a darling, Suro I'm your own Kitty, for thruo." Andy opened hia eyes wid wonder, And made for the trees she was nnder, Faitfa, he wasn't ashamed in the lastc. Said he : " Och, it's here where the bliss is," Then smothered the echo wid kißnea, And off they buth ran for the praute. — William Lyle in New York News.
