LEAP YEAR EPISODE.
Can I forget that winter night
In eighteen eighty-four,
When Nellie, charming litWle p1:
Came tapping at the door?,**'
"Qood-evening, rpliss," 1 blui
For in my hcart I knlv -
And knowing, hting to t
That Nellie came to W,
Sh e clasped my big red ht ic iaij
Adown upon her knees,
And cried: "You know I love you well,
So be my husband, please !"
And then she swore she'd ever he
A tender wife and true
Ah, what delight it was to me
That Nellie cane to woo !
She'd lace my shoes and darn mv hose
And n(end my shirts, she said,
And grease my comely Roman nose
Each night on going to bed ;
She'd build the fires and fetch t he coal,
And split the kindling too.
Love's perjuries o'erwhelmed her soul
When Nellie cane to woo.
And as I, blushing, gave no cheek 1
To her advances rash,
She twined her arms about my ieck,
And toyedl with 1m13' mflustaeble;
And then site pleaded for a kiss,
While I-- what could I do
Ilt coyly yield to that bliss
When Nellie came to woo? 4
I am engaged, and proudly wear
A gorgeous diamond ring,
And I shall wed my lover fai
Some tine in gentle spring.
I face my doom without a sigh
And so, forsooth, woil you,
If you but loved as fond as I,
And Nellie caine to woo.
