FtOEA’S ALBUM. 7 
Almond. 
HEEDLESSNESS. 
I knew a lady once 
Who was very beautiful, 
Very fair to look upon, 
And Tery dutiful. 
Tet in this she erred. 
What was very needless; 
She would do, and what is more. 
Do it very heedless. 
She received a letter 
Full of tender sighs. 
And she read it over 
TiU her little eyes 
Filled with tears, and her heart 
Was about to melt, 
When suddenly she thought about 
The paper that she felt. 
It was coarse ; and she said, 
“ He must be a liar; ” 
So she tore the letter up. 
And put it in the fire. 
But afterwards she did repent, 
And said it was needless; 
And vowed she never more would do 
Any thing so heedless. J. S. Adams.
