T111OLD MAN GOBS TO TOWN.
Well wife, I'm boon to 'Frisco anI called
to see the boys,—
I'm tired, au' nuire'n half tloaned with
tho travel and tho noise ;
So sit down by Om chimney, and nad
my weary bones,
And tell bow I tiros treated by our 'Hato-
cratio 00011.
AB 80011 as 1 reached the city, 1 liuntod up
01Ir Dan
To know he'll now tho toilebratcal wholosalo
bitable:so man,
I walked dowu from the clopo'—but Dan
koepo a country spat—
An' I thought to im hump with him, an'
rest my weary feet.
M1 the way I kept a-thiuldn' how famous
it 'utl lo.
To po 'retold town togother—ruy grown.up
son an' 1110--.
An romeinber tho old thous, when my little
curly hoed,
Coo to cry out illoodmight, ptipa4P from his
littlo trundle bed.
novor thought a minit that ho wouldn't
want to see,
His gray an' worn old fathor, or would be
ashamed of ma
So whim I soon. his odic% with his sign writ
out in gold,
walked in without knookin'—but tho old
loan was too hold.
DIM was BMW' by tho table, an' a writin'
ill Et, b00k;
Ho knowed me in a s000nd, but ho gave rite
ouch it look
He never 0,11111 word o' you, but axed about
tho grain,
An' ef 1 thought tho valley didn't need a
littlo rain,
I didn't stay a great while, but inquired
after Rub;
Dan said ho lived upon tho hill -1 think
they call it Nob
-Au' whon I left, Dan, in a tone, that almost
broke mo down,
Said, 'Call 111 an' seu mo won't ye, when-
ever you're in town ?'
It was rather late that ovoidal' when I
found out Robert's louse;
There was II1USiC, lights an' tiamin', and
a mighty big carnage.
At tho dour a nigger met me, an' ho grin -
nod from ear to oar,
Sayiu', 'Itourds ib invitation, or you nebber
got in here.
said I was Bob's father ; an', with anothar
grin,
The nigger loft ma standin' au' disappear.
ed within.
Bob came out on the porch, he didn't order
1110 tic0/17,
lint 110 said he hoped to see me in his
uillee the next clay.
Then I started fur a tavern, fur I knowea
there, anyway,
They wouldn't turn ino out so long's Pd
money fur to pay ;
An' liob an' Dun had left mo about the
streeto to roam,
An' tioither of them axed ma if I'd money
to git holm.
It may bo the way o' rich folks—I don't
say as it Is or not—
But wo remember some things Dan and
Rob had ;pito forgot ;
We didn't quite aspect this, wife, when,
twenty years ago,
We mortgaged the old homestead to give
Bob an' Dan a show.
I didn't look for Charley, but I happened
just to meet
Him with a lot o' frionds o' his'n
down tho streak;
I thought I'd pass on by him, for fear our
youngest son
Would show he was ashamed o' in°, as Bob
an' Dan had (lone.
But as soon as Charley seen me, ho right
Moro 'eat all,
Said, 'God bless mo, thera's my father 1'
as loud rio ho could bawl.
Then ho introduced Ivo to his frien'a, an'
sent 'ern all away,
Tellin"ein ho'd Boo 'ern later, but was busy
for that day.
Then he took me out to dinner, an' ho axed
mo about the house,
About you an' Sally's baby, an' tho chic-
kens, pigs and cows;
Ho axed about his brother's, addin' that
'twas mighty queer,
But ho hadn't soon one uv 'om for mighty
nigh year.
Then bo took tno to hie lodgin', in au attic

Ho said he liked it bottor 'oause 'twos near.
er 10 1110 sky,
An' he said, 'I'vo onlyono room, but 1117bed is very wide;,
An' so svo slept together,—me en' Oluirloy,
Facto by sick.
Noxt day we wont togother to the groat
Mechanics' Fair,
An' some o' Charloy'o piotors was on ex-
hibition there;
He said if he ;multi sell 'am, Which he hop.
ed to, pretty soon,
He'd nutIto 00 u, visit, an' bo rioher than
Muldoon.'
An' so two days 1111' nights WO passed, an',
when I come aWay,
Poor Charloy said the timo was short, an'
begged rim fru' to stay ;
Then 110 took me in a buggy an' druv me to
tho train,
An' said in,jnat a little whilo he'd goo 110
all agent.
You know svo thought our Charloy would
novo) wino to much;
110 was always reading novels an' pootry
on' total ;
There was nothing on the farm ho ovor
seemed to soma; to an,
en' when ho took to ortintin' lie Msgr.-gad
mo eloor through.
so we givo to Rob on' Dan all we has to

Ism' loft poor Cluttley penniless to make his
way alone ;
Do's only a poor pointor—Rob and Dan
aro rich as tin;

An' they'll never know the old folks till

An' rich au' poor are tomal undernoath tho
sod at last.
An' maybe, whon, we all meet on the re.
