CUT OUT,-lt IS many years since L tell
in love with Jane Jerusha Skeggs, the hand
soonest country girl by far that ever went on
legs BY meadow, creek, and wood and
dell, SO often did we walk, and the moon
light smiled on her meeting lips, and the
night winds learned our talk. Jane Jerusha
was all to me, for my heart was young and
true, and loved with double and twisted
love, and love that was honest, too. [
roamed all over the neighbor's farms, and
robbed the wildwood bowers, and tore my
trowsers and scratched my hands in search
of choicest flowers In my joyous love 1
brought all these to my Jerusha Jane; but
l wouldn't be so foolish now if 1 were boy
again. A city chap then came along, all
dressed up in store clothes, with shiny hat
and a shiny vest, and a moustache under his
nose He talked to her of singing schools,
(for her father owned farm), and she left
me, the country love, and took the new
chaps arm And all that night l never
slept, nor could eat next day for l loved
that girl with a feryent love, that nOught
could drive away. strove to win her back
to me but it was all in vain-the city chap,
with the hairy lip, married Jerusha Jane.
And my poor heart was sick and sore until
the thought struck me that just as good fish
remained as ever were caught in the sea.
So I went to the Methodist Church one
night, and saw dark brown curl peeping
from under a gipsey hat, and married that
very girl. And many years have passed
and gone, and / think my loss my gain and
often bless that hairy chap that stole Je-
rusha Jane

A Merry Heart.

Tis we'll to have a merry heart,
However short we stay;
There's wisdom in a merry heart,
Whate'er the world may say.
Philosophy may lift it's head
And find ont many a flaw;
But give me the philosophy
That's happy with straw
If life but brings us happiness,
1t brings us, we are told,
What's hard to buy though rich ones try,
With ill their heaps OfgOld
Then laugh away let others say
Whate'r they will of mirth,
Who laughs the most may truly boast
He's got the wealth Of earth.
There's beauty in a merry laugh,
A moral beauty too;
Il shows the heart S an honest heart,
That's paid each man his due,
And gave share of what's to spare,
Despite of WisdOms fears
And makes the checkless sorrow speak,
The eye weep fewer tears.
The sun may shroud itself in cloud,
The tempest wrath begin;
1t finds a spark to cheer the dark,
It's sunlight is within
Then laugh away-let others say
Whate'r they will of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth
