Charming cousin, in your eyes I can read a faint surprise; Most bewitchingly they glisten To my nonsense as they listen; ‘What can Harry mean to say?’ You may come to know some day. Just one word, sweet cousin mine, Ere we go to dress and dine: If I ever chance to woo, Cousin, she must be like you, And the one who comes the nearest To yourself will be the dearest; Type of what my love must be, Cousin, what if you are she? J. WILLIAMS. * * * * * The Conductor of CHAMBERS’S JOURNAL begs to direct the attention of CONTRIBUTORS to the following notice: _1st._ All communications should be addressed to the ‘Editor, 339 High Street, Edinburgh.’ _2d._ For its return in case of ineligibility, postage-stamps should accompany every manuscript. _3d._ MANUSCRIPTS should bear the author’s full _Christian_ name, Surname, and Address, legibly written; and should be written on white (not blue) paper, and on one side of the leaf only. _4th._ Offerings of Verse should invariably be accompanied by a stamped and directed envelope. _If the above rules are complied with, the Editor will do his best to insure the safe return of ineligible papers._ * * * * * Printed and Published by W. & R.
