A SNOWFLAKE IN MAY.
I saw a snowflake in the air
When smiling May had decked the year,
And then 'twas gone, I knew not where,—
I saw a snowflake in the air,
And thought perchance an angel's prayer
Had fallen from some starry sphere;
I saw a snowflake in the air
When smiling May had decked the year.

APOLOGY FOR GAZING AT A YOUNG LADY IN CHURCH.
The sermon was long
And the preacher was prosy.
Dou you think it was wrong?
The sermon was long,
The temptation was strong,
Her cheeks were so rosy.
The sermon was long
And the preacher was prosy.

A TINY TRIP.
THE BILL OF LADING.
She was cargo and crew,
She was boatswain and skipper,
She was passenger too
Of the Nutshell canoe;
And the eyes were so blue
Of this sweet tiny tripper!
She was cargo and crew,
She was boatswain and skipper!
