Futile Haste.

Three times a week ahe writes to me And I must ever send replies, Because she would be pained, you see. If I proceeded otherwise; She seems to have much time to waste, O’er many sheets she spreads har scrawl, And always wind up: "Tours In haste," Although she Is not mine, at all. She writes to me concerning .those Whom I have never met nor seen. As, If Indeed, she might suppose My Interest in them was keen: Oft has her crusty father chased Me from his fair ancestral hall; Yet her last words are: “Yours In haste," Though she may ne’er be mine, at all. Itneverserves to make me glad To hear about her cousin Jane; - * But yesterday, she wrote, her dad Was stricken with the gout again; I wish she might have cared to waste ,; ” A hundred sheets, and filled them all. Ere she had written: “Yours in haste,* And hurried to obey his call. ( —Chicago Record-Herald.
