Which Im read it 10 yen. blossom. when you

Who'd thought it, years ago; that seen me
working like q bee,
A-feedin' or the ruIfn' pens and wIshin' they
was feedin me, - t@s -
That, within few briei summers, winters too,
10 be exact oiitass
Ishould be boss myself. a-boastinR cheerful of
the fact;
An who'd although TO seen US two, the time
we had that awful breeze.
That we'd ever rnn together, close as double
rulin' is,
without any blots or scratches. straight as lines
was ever seen,
TIL. affair and even like. little rule struck
in between-'
1t has been Almost too jolly, these easy goin'
years.
And it sometimes comes across me with a sud-
dintrusf O. fears,
That it can't be alwaTs so-'taint- like common
human life. --z-.-.es
For to jog along sopeacefnl. without any tronb-
les, wife. aadsA
Look at this here small apartment cosey. warm
and comfortins; saoss.l.s
Look at yonsso smart and handseme-there,
knowedrd fetch grin;
Look at that ere infant johnson, Johnny. An
Well, s'pose the secret of it's canse we,re
healthy all around. Eanisie5als5
speakin' of our comforts, Mary, somehow calls
to mind again $50
That ere ugly breeze aforesaid-things WANT
quite so lovely then;
When that Altemira Jenkins wiggled in 'twixt
you andme-
HOrrld thingf Is'pose so, but she was cOmely
one to see.
Knowed itsa Yes. of course she knoweds it,
playedit on like blazes, too. 19a
For she see that yon am me was goin' to make
match, true blue; 4a.l#ts
And it rIled her female instincts set her up to
believe thatpairin' girls would kill each other
if they dust,
So she went for me bald-headed; it's a fact
thereby learned
Wost men is constructed feeble, far as women is
concerned;
II a hen that's extra handsame gets to foolin
round man.
She can always start his stumps, it seems a part
of natures plan.
Well, didn't mean no damage, but / s'pose
showed up weak,
And the gal was donble-shotted to develop my
soft streak;
But hadn't no idea of its parting you and me
Till that ere nntlmely noon-spell, when you ur
and mittened me.
Then the bad in me riz up. and come ont hot and
ilerce and strong;
A inhrmary of temper buckled in to help 1t long
had bogus pride suficicut not to show how
mnch it hurt; ed
But I wasn'tman enough to shake the schemins
heartless airt
For Thought that you despised me, and
meant to show that
Was as gay and chlrk as ever, but It was a liv.
in lie.
Ehtit cut me cruel. Mary, made nay work 8
weary load;
Blew ambition up aiume. and showed me on the
downward road.
And s'pose should have nummIxed shortes
way could devise.
If good luck or else good angels hadn't opened
my two eyes.
TIL Isaw that you was pining. drooping, fading
sorrOxful,
And one day ketched you loekiL' right at me
your eyes was full
Then wakened. Thought moment slipped
around behind by stealth,
Touched q holt and hugged you, darling, kissed
you back to life and health.
Since which time. I would observe that bless
ings seems 20 niI our cup; SO s9a3H
Let ms thank the Lord, my Mary-hello, baby's
waking up. 5sEa fl asTt
