THE OLD IRON KETTLE.


The bluebirds have come with their merry
voiced greeting,
The sun from the South land has crossed
DER the line,
The crows in the hemlocks are holding town
meeting,
Ills time to make sugar, / know by the sign.
Then let us away, where the naples are grow
ing,
And gather harvest the sprngtime to
Bring the buckets and spouts, and set the sap
flowing,
Then hang on the kettle and syrup Ii down.
The old iron kettle, the sooty black kettle,
The time-honored kettle of ancient renown.
How the thought of that kettle to memory
wakens
The days of my childhood and pleasures of
then:
The cares of the present lie dumb and for
saken,
While the scenes of the by-gone flock round
me again.
Beside huge rock the old Kettle Is swinging,
Supported by stakes driven deep in the
ground,
While up through the forest in echoes go
The shouts of the children while playing
around,
As they watch the old kettle, the sooty black
kettle,
The time honored kettle of ancient renown.
They heed not the smoke that is griming their
faces,
Nor cafe for the ashes that powder their
hair;
They love the free wildwood, and best of all
places,
The fire by the rock, and the kettle hung
there.
o never could sugar be nicer or sweeter,
Or cool on the snow with a comelier brown,
And never sung hearts to a happier metre
Than the hearts of those children that ket-
tie around,
AS they scraped the old kettle, the sooty black
kettle,
The time.honored kettle of ancient renown.
turn from the pleasures of modern inven-
tions,
Sap-houses, sap-heaters sap-boilers and all:
Though grateful to each for their goodly in
tentions,
The sugar lacks something art cannot re-
call.
/ know il is wise to live we'll with the Present,
To gather life's blessings whene'er they come
down;
Yet still in the vale of the Past ii is pleasant,
To meet those who met that old kettle
around,
As we scraped the old kettle, the sooty black
kettle,
The time-honored kettle of ancient renown.
In the Spring richer crimson comes
Upon the robins breast;
In the Spring the wanton bed-bug
Seeks the leg that tastes the BEST

Chicago, Nov. IA special from

commenced to write within the past

author. ''The grand jury that again

Quoted and seereted, from above,
must, under no circumstances, over
look one thing. The Washington
telegrams, written in cypher. which
are before them, warning the distillers
of this city of their imminent danger,
are based upon and derived from n
knowledge which, at that time, but
two persons possessed. Only Bristow
and Grant knew of the steps that were
to be taken, and as we know that
those signals of warming were not
given by Bristow, they could only
have come from Grant or one in his

phy, one of the Senate reporters who,
with others, remailed last night with
Vice President Wilson and until $40
this morning, addressed the following
note to DR.. Baxter: 1.-THE Vice Presi-
dent was very restless until about five
O'Clock a. M, since which time he has
been do2ing almost constantly; adj
ministered the opiate at the time
ordered" 1t is ascertained from
another source that the Vice President
during the night repeatedly pressed
his head and heart with his right
hand, and at times threw forth both
arms. These movements were accom-
panied with nervous twitching. His
more thoughtful and observant friends
consider his condition as very critical.
Between 10 and IL this forenoon he
was still drowsy and restless, with no
disposition to converse. DR.. Baxter,
at II a. M, said that the Vice. Presi-
dent was then resting comfortably,
having slept considerable during the
morning. The Vice President, him.
self, said that he now felt more natural.
AT 1910 DR.. Baxter reported that
the Vice President was doing well
every way, saying he saw no reason
to doubt that he would soon recover.
AT 1915 President Grant drove to the
Capitol, entered the sick room, and
remained about ten minutes.
