By the Author of " BOYCOTTED." She'd a rose in her bonnet, And oh! she looked sweet. 10 she has, a great pink June rose right in the front of a wide Mother Hubbard straw bonnet. And peeping from under the bonnet is her face, like a rosebud itself—a pale pink-and-white wild rose. Oh! such a sweet face, with curly brown hair, and eyes like two violets; and the rose and the bonnet and the face have been altogether too much for the young man at her side, and he has just asked her to be his wife. And down goes the Mother Hubbard to hide two glowing cheeks, and down go her eyelashes to hide her eyes, and the young man can only see the big June rose nodding at him from the top of her bonnet. She'd a rose in her bonnet, And oh! she looked sweet, Like the little pink flower That grows in the wheat. . . . he thinks to himself; and she has on a pink print, made quite foolish, and quite beyond a print dress, by a quantity of creamy lace.
