SONGS FOR THE SENTIMENTAL.--No. 10.
You talk of love--I would believe
Thy words were truth;
Nor deem that thou wouldst e'er deceive
My artless youth:
But when we part,
Within my heart
A small voice whispers low--
Beware! Beware!
Fond girl, the snare!
it's all no go!
You talk of love--yet would betray
The heart you seek,
And smile upon its slow decay,
If 'twould not break.
In vain you swear
That I am fair,
That heaven is on my lip!
I know each vow
Is worthless now;
[Illustration: YOU'VE MISS'D YOUR TIP.]

THE TWO NEW EQUITY JUDGES.
"Between the two new Equity Courts, the suitors in Chancery will be much
better off than formerly"--said Fitzroy Kelly, lately, to an intimate.
"Undoubtedly," replied the friend, "they may now choose between the
frying-pan and the fire."
