Helping Him Along

Oae time a bashfnl suitor said He'd ask the maiden of hl9 choleo ■', V she- Just here hi3 courago fled, And quavers trembled in bis voice. Still once again he went to work To indícate his longings vain And said, "I fear I'm like a cork That bolds some Jubilant champagne." "Ah," laut'hed the maid with rosy hue, As passion broaght him to a stop, "I understand you fully. You Must be drawn out before you'll pop."
