A jewel of a damsel . . .

. . . residing at New Haven, Ct. has furnished under the signature of “Vona,” a few stanzas expressive of the out-gushing desire of her blessed little heart. The following is a sample. Just hear the darling: –

With the blessings I have my wants are but three,
Mist simple and definite, nothing that’s wild.
I ask for no more than is needful to me,
A husband to love, with a cottage and child.
