IIER SISTER'S BEAU,
My sister'!] bo down in a minute,
And says you're to wait if you please
And says I might stay till the oomas
If 1 promise her never to tease,
Nor epcale till you speak to rue first,
13ut that's nonsense ; for how wonitl
you know
What she told mo to say if I didn't ?
Don't you really anti truly drink so ?
And,then you'd foal strange hero alone,
And you wouldn't know jut whore to
sit ;
For that chair isn't strong on Its legs
Therefore we never use it a bit.
Wo;keop it to match with the solo,
But Jack drys it would bo just like you
To liop yourself right down upon ib,
And knock out the vary lust sorow.
'Sp000 you try ; I wont tell -you're afraid
to I
Oh ! you're afraid they wouid Gunk it
was Mean,
Well, there's the album -it's pretty-
Zf ycp'ro sure that your flingers are
clean.
For sister says sometimes 1 daub it,
But sho only says their when oho
's
Dross,
There's her picture ; you know -its like
her,
But she:ain't so good-looking,of course.
Thio is ane ; it's the best of them all,
Now tell ate you'd never have thought
That ease 1 waa as little as that ;
It's the,only ono that could bo bought.
For that was the message to papa
From the photograph man where I sat -
That he wouldu't priut off any more
Till he first got his money for that.
What I maybe you're tired of waiting ?
Why, often she's longer than this ;
There's all her book hair to clo up
And,ali of her front hair to frit.
But it's nice to be sitting hero talking
Like grown people, just you and me ;
Do you think you'll bo coning hero often 7
Oh, do ; but dont acne like Tom Lee.
Tom Lee, her last beau -why, my good-
ness 1
He used to be here day and night,
'Till the folks thought he'd be her bus.
band,
And Jack says that gave him a fright.
You won't run away, then, as he did ?
For you're not a rich man they say,
Pe slays you're as poor as a oharoh mouse ;
Now, are you ? and how poor are they
Ain't you glad you met me ? well, I am ;
For I know now your hair isn't red ;
But what there is left is mousy
And not what that naughty Jack said.
But there -I must go; sister's coming,
But I wish I could wait just to see
If sho ran up to you and kissed you
In the way that she used to kiss Leo.
