My Own Bine Blonde.
A lIADIORAL —BT JOBS G. SAXB.
They ley that the dark-eyed maids es
Spain
Are paaaionate and fond ;
But eye* of blue are tender and trne —
Give me my own blue blonde.
An areh coquette is the bright brunette,
Blithe, and merry, and gay,
Her lore may last till the summer is past,
But my blonde's for ever and aye.
If bards of old the truth have told,
The Sirons hare raven hair;
But o'er the earth since Art had birth,
They paint the Angels fair 1
Ab, well! may be the truth to see
A lover is over fond ;
And I can’t deny—nor will I try—
My love is a golden blonde!
—Some men are like cats. You may
Stroke the fur the right way for years,
and hear nothing but purring: but acci
dentally tread on the tail, and all mem
ory of former kindness is suddenly
obliterated.
