Uncertain Ethel.

When Ethel frowns, of course I worry, For her displeasure much I fear; To win her favor back I hurry, And pray the skies may soon grow * clear. But there is one great consolation— I know just Avhfit I may expect When Ethel frowns, what dispensation Harsh fate will bring to me, abject. But when she smiles! Of course it's charming, Yet that's the time when I’m perplexed; *Tis then the future seems alarming, For heaven knows what’s coming next! —Somerville Journal.
