With Jane Jerusha Skeggs,
The buxomest country gal by far,
That ever went on legs.
By meadow. creek, and wood and dell,
So often did We walk,
And the moonlight smiled on our meeting

And the night winds learned our talk.
Jane JeIusha was all 10 me,
For my heart was vOung and true,
And loved with double and twisted love
And love that was honest, too.

| robbed the wildwood bowers,
And tore my trOwsers and scratched my
hands,
In search of choicest flowers.
In my beyish love brought alL these
TO my Jerusha Jane
But wouldn't be so foolish now
If was boy again
A city chap then came along.
All dressed up in store clothes,
With shiny hat and shiny vest,
And moustache under his nose
He talked TO her at snging,school,
For her father owned farm.
And she left me, her country love,
And took the new chaps arm
And all that night never slept.
Nor could | cal next day.
For loved that girl with fervent love,
That naught could drive away.

But il was all in valn,-
The city chap with the hairy lip,
Married Jerushs Jane.
And my poor heart was sick and sore,
Until the thought struck me,
That Just as good fish still remained
AS ever was caught in the sea.
So | went TO our church one night
And saw dark brown curl
Peepng from under a gypsy hat
And married that very girl
And many years have passed and gone
And think my loss my gain
And often blessed that hairy chap
That stole Jerusha Jane.

A number of our most skillful physi

she was even taken to some of oar mos

pensive in their expression, and seemed
deep as her soul was pure, but they were,
nevertheless, TO ber almost wholly use.

And quick prepare, ~iih holy prayer,

For I am on Journey,
From The cradle 10 the grave.

But, here cannot lingering stay,

There's smothering sigh within my

That helps 10 make the distance short

That sigh is ulled by a song in my

A dirge tha! keeps murmuriug low,
Whose solemn moan seems sad and
