CUPID's REVENGE.

Twas MONDAY. On a grassy mound
Within the fnrest deep.
| saw child stretch'd on the ground
Twas Cupid, fast asleep.
His beauty struck me far above
All boys I'D ever seen,
But, As I'd sworn to banish love,
To look did not mean.
But, oh those limbs Of perfect shape,
Pressing the fragrant sod
sigh. Hes instantly awake
A breath awakes the god.
He quickly spreads his rosy wings,
And, bending straight his bow,
With one OF his sharp arrows stings
My heart, and lays me low.
Go now, said he, 10 Chlop's feet,
And lapEuish there aud weep
In vain her pity you'll entreat-
For rossing mc from sleep.

pie sugar, so as to have a supply on
hand when the sap begins to run next

left over last year was unusually large
we presume the ''frst run" this yeal
will be "unusually large" in proper
ton. We hope none Of our farmers
who may see this, will learn the trick
and become demoralizcd ike some
