THE SECRET.

Rave my eyes not told the secret
That has long been in my breast?
Have you, as I lingered 'with you.
Never known or never guessed? ,
Need I beg of you to listen, i
Need I grope for words to tell,
Since my glances have betrayed Hie,
Since you know the truth so well?
SHE.
Tes, your eyes have oft betrayed you;
All that you could tell I know;
I have learned your heart's dear secret.
You revealed it long ago ;
By your sighs and by your glances
All that you could whisper now
I have learned with glad assurance
But repeat it, anyhow. .

Scheme Didn't Work.
Mrs. SHmpurse It's all nonsense to
talk about managing a husband by
silent appeals to his good nature., It
can't be done. If you want anything
you've got to say so right out. You
know this horrid old hat I've worn for
two seasons?
Mrs. Makeshift Yes; and I sug
gested that you should quietly put it
on and let him see you wearing it.

did exactly what I did; and when I

"Does your husband love you?", we

"Madly, devotedly!" she answered.
"Are you quite sure?"
"Quite. How can I doubt? . He has
shut me up here in this little cage of
a place, where he expects me to spend
all my time, with nobody's company
but his own. If he does not love me,
why does he take so much trouble to
make me miserable?"
