a Golden Harvest.

IL was splendid Summer weather
IN July. The seaside meadows locke,
IKE green velvet. The wheat field
rustled III the breeze, the birds sang il
the trees, and You never SAW anytIIm!

are kind of shiftless, and let their farms
run out, or have poor luck in fishing ::

work as well us usual, and she was all
run down before having time was half
through, 81 all she could do was to tend
to father, and | had the whole of the
hou>ework on my shoulders. Dear me.
