Counting the Chickens.
BY ALICE GARY.


Come. Joe ! come Johnny the chickens are out
As true as | am alive
Let me count-one, two, three, four
Oh if can find but one more
OF the beauties, that will be five!
Just look and see how they hop about!
And see what pretty thing
The little gray one is, and oh
There is another one see it, Joe,
With it's head through it's mothers wing!
My dainty darlings, be STILL be still
Just minute, till can see
Which is prettiest-that with down
Softly yellow and striped with brown,
Or that with the golden bill.
That one is cunning. with back and breast
Black as n raven, and so small
No bigger than one Of its mothers eggs,
And the tiniest little rosy legs
hardly saw it at all.
l viii! double up my hand to nest,
Afraid though am of the mother hen,
And put them into IL one by one,
The gray, the yellow, the black and dun,
And see which is prettest then

replied. He then asked her If she desired a bus
She instantly gave him very sweet smile and
replied, "No sir, am not in bussing humor
this evening" The agent dropped his memoran-
dam book, hastily retired to the baggage car,
and said he felt unwell
