A PARTIAL CRITIC. 1
“O little girt whose twenty years
Make you seem none the older
Since that spring day when love's glad tears
Bade Bashfuluess be bolder.
Tell me, and have you grown more wise.
Or any more discerning,
Or are you more inclined to prize
The benefits ot learning!' -
This to my love—a blrthdav rhyme—
I gave wheu she was twenty:
Her little head up to that time
I'd filled with looks in plenty;
I'd offered Thackeray and Scott,
Shakespeare and some of Milton,
To show her in a measure what
An education's built oa
I'd offered Wordsworth—not too much—
Keats all, and bites of Shelley;
In Browning, whom I didn't touch,
I feared a casus belli;
I’d offered Tennyson and some
Of Swinburne, that would go well
As spice with my selections from
Longfellow, Holmes and LowelL
And now, the fruitful year at end.
The ripe result l sought for,
And wondered if her words would lend
Tlie wisdom that I thought for.
Alas t—yet I confess it fell
Like “Paid" upon a debtor—
Said she, “1 liked them very well;
I like what you write better”
—P. Mederst in Harper's Magazine.
SWEET SALLY SUCCUMED.
SIMEON SYKES’ STORY.
Simon Sykes, silver seller strayed
southward, steadily seeking sat
sales, sobeiiysauntered, swing
sachel. systematically showing solid
spoons, sugar shovels, small size
superior spectacles, scissors,
shields, somber skies sent soft
soaking Simeon’s sachel, shoes
shirt, skin.
Suddenly something seemed softly
“sweet Sally Slauter Simeon
soon shall see.”
So Simeon straightway strode stupen
dous strides, seeking Sally’s sunny shel
ter.
Simeon soon saw su ndry stately syc
amores standing sentinel, shading said
spinter’sspacious shelter; spied Sally sit
ting solus, sewing silk stockinet, slyly
sniffing sweet-scented scotch snuff. Sud
den surprise seized Sally’s soul, seeing
Simeon,s swift strides; Sally,s sanctity
soon skedaddled shamefully.
She, somewhat sensitive, suspiciously
started, suddenly spilled some snuff,
soiled stockinet, stammered, stuttered,
said: “s-s-seat, s-sir.”
Simeon shivered, shook, said: “smart
Sally said-.“slightly so.”
Simeon’s shin seemed sore; so Sally
sought some soothing salve (sawyer),
supplied some soft-soled slippers.
S juare should. slab-sided, spindle
shanked Simeon seemed satisfied; Sally
sauD “sold some silver since Sunday,
Simeon?”
Simeon scolded savagely.
Sally suggested supper.
Sartin, Silly.” said Simeon; “some
thing sufficiently strengthening some
strong stimulant,”
So Sally seat some sausage, sirloin
steak ,savory stew, some soothing san
garee.
Simeon’s stomach seemed satisfied;
so Simeon smoked several “Spanish se
gars,” sat stupefied, soon slept, snored
sonoriously,
Sally,sitting, solemnly stitching stock
inet, suddenly sneezed! Simeon started
seemed scared—suspiciously surveyed
surrounding space, shutters, shades;
seemed secure.
Sally stopped sewing, said she saw
someone slyly sneaking, stealing Simeon
silver.
Simeon, slightly susceptible’ seemed
suddenly smitten, sought Sally’s side,
sacrilegiously surrounded sanctimonious
Sally Slater’s smooth symmetry, she,
somewhat suspicious, said, ..soft sickish!
Simeon started significantly said,
“sweetest, surely such solitary souls
should sympathize.” Sally stopped Sim
eon. Simeon seemed subdued.
She seemed sorry, showed some soft
ening symptoms, supinely sought Sim
eon’s sturdy shoulder, sh! sh! Simeon
taiackeo Sally! so straightway surren
dering, she smacked Simeon! Simeon
said: “set some suitable season- Sally
said:’ September.” Simeon, shrugging
Sim’s shoulder, said: “Sooner? surely
scripture sanctions such strong
thy: Say Sunday.”
No Sally- succumbed.

Seven supernal seasons softly silently
slipped somewhere: seven small scions
sprung, successively shedding sunshine
singing, shouting, seldom sick, squall
ing sometimes, still sweetening, Sally’s
solitude. So, succeeding summers se
rently, Simeon’s seven stalwart sons
seized soldiers’ swords—successively
subdued Southern secessionist—subse
quently settled South.
Simeon still sells silver, supplying
substantial subsistence.—Detroit Free
