THE HESPERIAN

A CHEMICAL KOMANCE.
Said Atom to Molly Cule,
"Will you unite with me ?"
And Molly Cule did quick retort,
"There's no affinity."
Beneath electric light plant's shade
Poor Atom hoped he'd meet her.
But she eloped with a rascal Baso,
And her name is now Saltpetre.
The Souvenir.
HAWAII.
A statesman was puzzled to discover just why
There wasn't some rule for pronouncing Hawaii.
He varied tho accents ten times each day,
And each time he got a new kind of Hawaii.
But finally found in an outburst of joy
An accurate means of surmounting "Hawaii,''
He found how Stevenson pronounced Ad-la-i
And used the same plan in the case of Ha-wa-ii. Ex.
CONTINUITY AND DIFFEKKNTIATION.
Whenever in America,
A girl is asked to wed,
She'straightway says, "Go ask papa,"
And coyly drops her head.
And over in the Fatherland,
Where flows the terraced Rhine,
She whispers, while he clasps her hand,
"Ich liebc dich allein.1'
But up in Russia, where the snow
Sweeps hissing thro' the firs,
She simply murmurs soft and low,
"Bhjushkst zwmstk rstk pbjunsk pjbrs,"
