DEATH OF GRIMES, HEN.
BY MICHAEL srEINuorrGR.

At last the speckled hen has gone
That hen of hens the best;
She died without sigh or groan,
While in her dowry nest.
Thro' summers heart ard winters snow
For ten long years she lay,
At noon and eve, old Grimes an egg,
But none the Sabbath day.
She had nest behind the door,
All neatly lined with hay;
Her back was brown and--sprinkled Ger
With spots "inclined to grey"
Though fourteen years of age almost,
She still looked young and hale
And like Jobs turkey she could boast
One feather in her tail.
The neighbor's fowls did all agree
She was good old soul
She sometimes rocsted in tree,
AND sometimes on pole,
Nhene'cr the rain came pelting down,
And thunder dreadful roar,
She hid herself in Grimes hat,
Until the storm was DER.
She lived plain and honest life
Nh Lirl,rr ,uicLcd 70 ri,..
She flew a neighbor SamPson's wife,
And scratched out both her eyes.
She never deisned the barn yard beau,
His face to look upon,
And loved but one, whose long shriIl crow
Was heard at early dawn.
An aged cock who oft had told
His descent with a sigh,
From one that crowd when he Of old
His master did deny.
When poor old sPcckle closed her eye,
lie jumped the fence and cried
lie bid the poultry all good-by,
And then laid down and died.
Kind reader now Wen drop tear
To Grimes speckled hen;
1t is too true, We ne'er shall look
Upon her like again.

trouble. The little girl SAID she did not
know where 20 find her father. lie was

had not the slightest notion how to proceed
to find hlm. She held an open letter in
her hand, daled at this village, disclosing
his name, and RENTED money 10 defray
her expenses.
The child had come all the way from
