A Charade.
My first a lover bold will pinch,
It once you let him have au Inch.
My aecoud'a what a maid will nay
When sudden kluees come her way.
My third la nice to have about
Whene'er you lake that maiden out.
'My last, if you tan apell, you'll aee
Is Just exactly half of me.
My whole, when all the story's told.
More precious 1? than all the gold
That hath beeu mined since Adam
woke ? ..
To find creation's master-stroke.
Lest you be dullard at charades,
Aud misa the gift that masquerades
Within these lines, I'll now reveal
The mysteries that they conceal.
Bet plainly fotitb you here may see
The answers all: Ell? oh ? V? E,
Which, put together as above,
Spell nothing more nor less than
"love,"
And aa a whole make what I call
The best of holes in which to fall ?
At least, that's how It's worked Its
apell
On me since that glad day I fell.
And found myself Without a chart
Completely lost in Polly's heart!

" The Christina* Tree.
When Nature spread before her
The canvas of the huowh,
Bhe painted first a crocus,
And next a crimson roue.
ICro long her artist fancy
Was pleased with waving corn,
Aiyl scarlet poppies later
Beneath her brush were born.
The goldenrod and aster
Upon her easel grew,
And gorgeous tints of autumn
With strokes of flame she drew.
But blotting out ihfd colore,
She left the picture bare,
And longed for something better
To limn in beauty there.
Bhe sketched with rapid touches
A scene of winter white,
A Christmas-tree with candles
And toys and tinsel bright;
And lo, beneajth Its branches,
With eyes of . wonder wide,
A child with flaxen ringlets ?
Then she was satisfied!

The regent, Mrs. H. G. Carrison,
was hostess fto this Chapter, at the
regular monthly meeting on the
first Thursday. Mrs. Carrison read
an interesting report from the Con
vention, that seemed (to give new
life and stimulate Interest In the
members for the work qf the com
ing year. A report from the lunch
booth at the County Fair, showed
that this Chapter had cleared $36
on that occasion. It was decided
to resume the musical and literary
features of the meetings, which for
some time have been abandoned on
account t>f limited time and press
of business. Also decided to have
the February meeting public, and
to invite all vlsitnig daughters who
might be here during the winter.
