And my little Gabe come along
No four-year- old In the county
Could beat him for pretty and strong,
Psars and clipper and sassy,
AIWaysrsady TO swear and fight
And I'd larnt him to ehaW tsrbacker,

And hell-to-split over the Lrairis
Went team, "Littls-BreOohes" and aIl.
Hsll-to-Spllt over the prairie

But we rOusted up some torches,
And sarohsd for EN- far and near
At last we struck HOSES and wagon,
Showed under a soft white mound,
Upset., dead beat-but Of little Gabe
No hide nor hair was found.
And here all hope soured on me,
OF my fellow-cFitters' aid
Jest topped down on my marrow. bones,
Crotch-deep in the snow, and prayed
By this, the little torches was played out,
And me and Isrul Parr
Went on for some wood to a sheep fold
That he said was sOmeBbar thar.
We found Il at last, and little shed

world. They left for parts unknown, two
Of them having collected considerable
amounts Of money on account Of business
conducted by their fathers. The absence
Of the boys was soon discovered, Of course,
and kilograms were sent in every direction
to ascertain their whereabouts. They
were soon heard Of at Wellsville, o., and
a messenger dispatched Tor them. After
taking the money from them he returned,
thinking that few days from home with.
out a cent would assist them in realizing
the value Of the plenty and comfort they
formerly enjoyed. The boys held out but
a day or two. They got back Tuesday,
fully convinced Of the folly Of their mad
cap enterprise, We don't believe they
will be guilty Of repeating the experiment.
