Johnny's Opinion of Grandmothers.


by ETHEL LYNN.
GrandmOthers are very nice folks;
They beat all the aunts in creation,
They let a chap do as he likes,
And don't worry about education.
I'm sure can't sec 1t at all,
What poor fellow ever could DO
For apples and pennies ana cakes'
Without grandmother OF two'
Grandmothers speak softly to mas
no Iet n bow have good time;
Sometimes they will whisper It's true,
Tootber way when boy wants to climb.
Grandmothers have mullins for tea,
And pies, n whole row, i'll the cellar,
And they're apt Of they know it in time),
To make chicken pies for "feller."
And if he is bad now and then,
And makes great racketing noise,
They only look over their specs
And say, "Ah! these boys will be boys.
'Life is only so short at the best:
Let the children be happy to-day"
Then they look for while at the sky,
And the hills that are far, far away.
Quite often as twilight comes onJ
Grandmothers sing hymns, very low
To themselves, as they rock by the fire,
About Heaven, and when they shall 60.
And then, boy stopping to think,
Will find hot tear in his eye,
To know what will come at the last
For grandmothers all have to die.
wish they could stay here and pray,
For a boy needs their prayers ev'ry night;
Some boys more than others, spose,
Such as l, need wonderful sight.
