Farmer Robins visit to the Fair.
BY A BREEZE FROM THE WEST.
I'll tell you story, tits simple and true,
Or Robin, the farmer, and worthy dame
Who with Johnny and Betty, promising
pair,
Came down to the city to visit the Fair.
Going forth on the streets, twas pleasant to
see
Their faces upturned in evident glee-
"Look wife p cries old Robin-"Look John
ny and Bet
There's picture more wondrous than any
thing yetH'
Twas Wyman's gay poster that shone from
For the Wizard was playing that week at
the Hall!
''My eyesH' said dame Prudence-"this
pleases me we'll
We will see that strange man of whom we've
heard tell p
So early that night, they all went to the
show
To them passing moments were only too
Impatient they wait for the curtain to rise
That curtain which hid strange sights from
their eyes.
In time the bell rang, and the Wizard ap
peared-
AS much like human as any we've heard
His "temple Of magic" glistening and
"Look dame p says old Robin-a beautiful
sight.
Expecting to see an old chap in wig
With long whiskers, grey hair, and panta-
looms big
Our country folk thought they had longer to
wait
Ere the Wizard came forth in mystical state.
But their wonder was great when Wyman
began,
With his p'ning feat-the automaton man !;
The egg bag came next, and another great
trick
With the bottle which Wyman derived from
Old Nick.
The Wizard proceeded-made ribbons from
tow,
Smoke and fire from his mouth continued to
blow
Till Robin bewildered, remarked to his wife
That he meier had seen such a man in his life.
Each night of their stay, Robin, Prudence
and Bet
With Johnny the youngest, and therefore
the pet
fastened down to the Hall, determined to see
More and more of the wonders at Wyman's
home,
Told each of his eighbors-advised them to
Time will never eface from the minds of that
pair
Their visits to Wyman on the week of the
Fair.
