 THE OLD MAID. Like tree that hath no fruit, Nor solitary shoot,

 Stands sine there, An ugly maid, starched and staied', Wrinkled cheeks and teeth decayed'

 And gray hair.  Yet the figure lank and long, Was the theme of many song,

 Long ago; And her voice was like the nole Of the bird of the sweetest throat,

 That you know. Now, she has Q speeided nose And around her eyes the crows

 Feet are seen, And her thin lips quicker m Just as she'd eating been, az

 Simmons green. Like sIriVel'd apple now, She hangs upon bough

 Of liie's tree, bare, Though al can plainly see That she had rather be

 Like PEAR. Her voice when she is speaking Like a rusty hinges creaklns'

 Crates the car Those fingers once so white, Like the ialoas ol q kite,

 Now appear. No longer ,io the hlaHx, ThD' lae fun and tAfo llie s'''

 To her flock: In her comiorlless abode, She is lonely as ! load
