The Lion raised his head;
"Since I am king," he said,
"It ill befits the king to lack his dinner!"
Then on the Leopard sprang,
With might of claw and fang,
And made a meal upon that spotted sinner!--
Then saw in sudden fear
Sir Crocodile draw near,
And heard him speak, with feelings of distraction;
"Since all of you have dined
Well suited to your mind,
You surely cannot grudge _me_ satisfaction!"
And sooth, a deal of guile
Lurked in his ample smile,
As down his throat the roaring lion hasted;
"Economy with me,
Is chief of all," said he,
"And I am truly glad to see there's nothing wasted."


"TWO SOULS WITH BUT A SINGLE THOUGHT."
BY WILLIAM THOMSON.

"My soul is at the gate!"
The sighing lover said.
He wound his arms around her form
And kissed her golden head.
"My _sole_ is at the gate!"
The maiden's father said.
