An Impromptu.
AN IMPROMPTU .
On presenting a pair of slippers to a Masonic M . P , To make a case in every way complete For covering an active pair of feet , Ancl worthy the recipients , much of thought Aud lively pleasure to the task was brought .
First as to colour : what shall bo the hue ? Why fix on one Masonic , Royal Blue , Blended with a' / . uvc stolen from the sky ? In varied tints a pattern Ave will try . What better than when eyes should meet the feet ,
A kindly gleam should there responsive-greet , Something averse to trouble , toil , ancl care ?—We'll choose a compass resting on a square , That grand Masonic emblem , and the guide By which one's every action should be tried
, With this engraven on feet , hands , and heart , We can with cheei'fulness act out our part . Then for the basis , making footsteps sure , Ancl that this case may never need a euro , We'll use a leather , seasoned well ancl tried ,
That all the wear and tear may be defied . Lined well and snugly , easy for the tread , And soft and cosy , like a downy bed ; Add to the warmth and also to the brightness With binding of brown fur of airy lightness .
And thus the case is finished ; 'tis the token Of much deep gratitude which can't be spoken . If but it prove to be a useful friend , The maker will have deemed it ' s gained its end . Bri . vton . ETO . IJ . I _

HEINKICH HEINE . Ion weiss niclit was soil es bedeuten Dass ich so traurig bin ; Ein Miirchen ans alten Zeiten Das komint mir hicht aus dem Sinn . Die Luft ist kiihl und es dunkelt , Hnd ruhig fliesst der Rhein , Der GipM des Berges funkelt In abendsonnensehein .
