Description:This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1884. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... CUPID'S SPORTS. No. I. "Am I in fairy land? or tell me, pray, To what love-lighted bower I've found my way?

Poor Tim! how little did he dream he was the subject the young god had seiected for as merry a frolic as ever fortune smiled upon in her merriest mood. Tim was in his twentieth year; "a leal light heart was in his breast;" he knew not the cares and anxieties of the world, nor...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
