Au Clair de la Lune, There's a feeling half-Piatonic born of longings em- bryonic And with sciotillating passion subtly starred; It's a kind of stopping station 'twixt esteem and ado- ration, Ard the name of it is ** brotherly regard.” It is absent with your sister, and (no matter how you've kissed her) With the girl to whom you specially belong; But whenever it is present, it’s superlatively pleasant, And it possibly is demi:semi-wrong. Now in certain circumstances—moonlight, supper, sun- dry dacces— The cosmic forces gain an added power; But she mocks your vo.ce unsteady when you hint that you are ready To forget the bars of friendship for an hour. She won't raise a blush to please you, she will torture you and tease you Till you wish that you were anywhere but there; Then—O wonder past all guessing !—you will feel her fingers pressing, And the merest maddening tickle of her hair. Soon (it's puzzling that you started so indifferently- hearted) You grow insanely anxious and intense; Your veins begin to quiver, and you swear you won't forgive her If she calls you back again to common sense. But at last the blush comes trembling, and she stops (or starts) dissembling— You have given uo pretending long before— The little Cupid devils troop to mingle in your revels, And she says she'll never face you any more. —Sydney Bulletin. A Baxcor drummer recently saw a woman enter the train at North Bucksport and rush through the car just as it was getting speedy. He coolly walked after her, and, just before the fatal leap, grasp:d her firmly to his manly bosom, She struggled, but he only tightened his grip saying: '*Madame, you sha'n't jump off the car and kill yourself!" When she got her brea h she shrieked: ‘You big fool, I was only going out on the platform to wave my handkerchief to my friends.” A party of Bangor yachtsmen aboard the train applaudea the drummer for his heroism fully half an hour and at intervals thereafter.—Springfield Republican, THE way of the transgressor: in five acts—1.
