A Street Incident Poetically Desoribed.
A full rigged maid of fashion, with hoops
all boldly set, moved or the sidewalk gai
ly, observed by all she met, l'he walk
was very wide, but the hooped skirts were
much wider, and 'twere useless e'en to
think of walking up beside her. Her
cheeks were "red as ruses," her face was
all a smile; and her tread it was as dainty
as though the earth was all "too vile." It
was her hour of triumph, and she didn't
seem to know that a coast sleigh was coin
ing at a speed not very slow. But it came,
and era she knew it, her "props" were
knocked away, and she was g..ing down
the street with a boy upon his sleigh. The
wind it blew quite roughly, turning all the
hoops aback, and of partly smothered
screams there wasn't arty lack; while tho
maiden didn't know what she was or want
about, her person much resembled on
umbrella turned inside out.
The passers stopped and wondered, as
the swiftly speeding sleigh devoutly kept
onward, rushing past and fast away ; the
