Kitty of Colerolue. As beautiful Kitty one morning was tripping » With a pitcher of milk from the fair of Coleraine, When she saw me she stumbled, the pitcher down tumbled, And all the sweet buttermilk watered the plain. “Oh, what shall I do now? Two* looking at you, now. Bure, sure, such a pitcher I’ll ne’er meet again. Twai the pride of my dairy! Oh, Barney O’Leary, You’re sent as a plague to the girls of Coleraine! ” I sat down beside Tier, and gently did chide her. That such a misfortune should give her such pain. A kiss then I gave her. Before I dbl leave her. She vowed for such pleasure she’d break it again! ’Twas haymaking season—l can’t tell the reason— Misfortunes will never come single—that’s plain— For, very soon after poor Kitty’s disaster, - The devil a pitcher was whole In Coleraine! —Old Song. Address to tbe Unco Gold. Then gently scan your brother man, Still gentler sister woman: Though- they may gang a kennin wrang, To step aside is huihan; One point must stlU be greatly dark, The moving why they do It; And Just as lamely can ye mark How far perhaps they rue It. Who made the heart, ’tis He alone Decidedly can try us: He knows each chord. Its various tone, , Each spring its various bias. Then at the balance let’s be mute. We never can adjust It; What’s done we partly may compute, But know not what’s resisted. —Robert Burns.
