DEATH OF LEAP YEAR.

Oh, girls, they ay ibat loop year's goor!

I can's believe it true;

I fear we've united precious time,

I know I have, Fave you !

The fact to thin--o many sweata'

To call from, dnes one,

And we're such modest, under thingsja

So bashful ev'ry and......

Tlust when we ventatalover.fur,

Like roses in the ano,

(With sweet words trembling on our lips,

And askings just begun,)

Wo binahed and trembled ind looked down,

And left one-hnif unsaid.

Aud uttered off, for very fright,

With all our aweda nasbred.

So time has slipped away, and now,

Old Leap Year's dead and gone,

Conne, let's plant willows e'er hiš grave,.

To hang on barre upon

Oh dreadful 'seventy-three

We're no kind word for you,

But we've a longing, lingering love,

For dear old seventy-two

And, Inddies, are ye glad it's gone,

Top nevest of the fait ?

-No more awed-cuted

Shall fret your etagere,

Hot-deux-

No pretty little baiting tro,

With books but thinly clad,

For blue-eyed Willor black-eyed Phil,

Or any other lad.

We know you'll miss an over.much,

Ita lanely, rou'il allow,

But we can't help the fight of time,

-Or tarn it back warī nów,

There's something avect we'd like to tell

You Frede, and Node, and Dicza

We cannot now, it is too late,

Just mit till sventy-ala.

Yet, at the same time, I that the milliners niean wall. I think think that the women who spoil themselves with the milliner's devices mean well, too. They do want to make the best, of themselves, to he "things of beauty," and not eyesores. But how to do this, they don't know, thay don't think, and they generally refuse to learn. There are some ladies who always took well. They are not secessarily tinh by but they are voren gifted fine natural taste, who instinctively choose
