Bright stream that wanders koro and tboro
Laughing the whole day long
'Your voieo /Larose the woodland calla
Liken returmberec1 song.
Hero, as of yore, the beaehoe spread,
And grotto and flowers are sweet,
Where oft your basting waters ran
Acmes my ohildio]t loet.
A golden time I I know it not
In those far days of 814 •,
But left the field and left the stream,
To seek for other gold.
011, dear to mo your sunlot wave,
And dear the leafy shore,
But you have borne upon your tide
That which returns no more
FARMER SINGLE'S MUD -HOLE
MISIHAP.
Yon was wunst a buy, I reckon,
With your riggin' full o' vim,
And a pack o' nusein' fannies
Bustin' cl'ar above the brim ;
Lookin' out for any frolic,
Whoopiu'everything fur fun,
Not a keorin' fur no Nolan'
Underneath the shinin' sun.
Wunst when I was such a shaver,
Dad he sent mo off to town
Fur toget my Aunt Jerushy,
(Otherwise her name was Brown,)
Sez Le : "Take the leotlo wagon
An' the dapple trottin' mare ;
An', case your Aunt should want it,
Just put in that wilier chair."
So I started bright an' airiy,
On It warmish Apert morn,
Lanvin' dad an tether fellers
In the
field a.P isatin' corn.
I wa'n't sorry fur to mise it ;
Don't suppose Was any needs
f Feelin' sorry 'cause I had ter
Gin, up pla ntin' punkin seeds.
Aunt Jorueh was than' an' wailin'
With her bundles an' her wraps ;
Can't sec why these pesky wimmen
1}lov ter hev so many traps.
'ba
S bed satchels au' valises
An' ban' boxes by the score ;
An' when I thought all was loaded,
Thar' laid half a dozen more.
But we iiu'ly got ter humpin' •
.Purty well along toward home ;
An' nnnt's tongue it Icop' a-rattlin'
Like a 'tarnal kittle dram.
She could beat the world fur talkin',
Tnis same Aunt Jerushy Brown ;
She was wound ter go forever ;
Seemed she ooulden't be run down.
You remember up ter Milloeo,
TLot old mud -hole in tho road ?
'Taller was thar',.alIers will be,
Now ye see, I ruthor knowed
Aunt Jorusb was summat '£raid like ;
Still, she gabbled such a streak
That I'lowed as how I'd slicer her,
Gist to make her tongue run weak.
So I started up a-trottin',
An' a-Iiokin' of the m001`0,
Not a-thinkin' as we hadn't
Tied thet plagney wilier chair.
Plonk I we struck that orn'ary mudhole
Then I board Aunt givo a yet),
An' I turned an' seen a sight, sir,
1 bet no words o' !nine can tell.
Thar' sot Aunt, a•yellin' fearful,
Right in that 'oro mud an' wet ;
Fur the chair had tumbled backwards,
.An' she'd turned a summerset.
Oh 1 but she was jest a piotur' •
Waiting patient to be framed,
An' a piotur' thet, correctly,
Mut nor never could be named.
Mad, el'er from her heels to top -knot,
Then back down from head to heels ;
hnerctn' mud like all creation,
Spittle' mud between her squeals ;
Mud a-drippin' from her fingers,
Sweatin' mud from every pore ;
Mud a-ooverin' her completely,
Both behind her an' before.
Slob another lookin' critter
Don't expect yon ever see ;
.An' I hardly think you'd keer to—
Leastwise thet's the way with''me :
Fur instead of its a-tightenin'
.Anything about her tongue,
'Tmade it waggle more'n ever,
Like 'twits on a pivot hung.
An' she jawed 01e dinr' hand runnin,
Fur a matter o' four mile ;
With her peaky voico a-aquarkin
Like a old three-omnored lila.
Why, she scolded till we drove up
By the gateway thnr' to hum ;
An' her 'tarnal gab an' clatter
- blade the think my and had come.
So it trod, or 3105 disllivered
By my old paternal dad,
Who matte note ov his diekivery
With a limber hickory gad.
.An' when Aunt Jorueh was toted
Back to town, I wasn't them' ;
It was dad hisself, in person,
1114 behind the dapple mare.
