 Huckle-ber-rees.-
 The huckleberry days have come,
 The hottest of the year;
 Of seething brooks and steaming hooks, And hill-sides dry and scar. Heaped high in the old ''lumber-box," , Are baskets, pails and jugs.
 And little pitchers with great ears, And other ugly mugs" Up, up OCT Riga's rugged steep Up, up OCT old Elander, And round and round the brazen dome, ) We wander wonder, wander; Till pails with berries all are full, , And all the jugs are dry; Then hilter-s -skelter, down we come,
 Like precious s'printers pi.'- , With dreams of huckleberry pud- Ding, "turn overs" and ''sich,"
 In very merry picnic mood,
 We come down feeling ''rich." Down. down past Ssge's cool ravine, Straight, straight for ''hum" we steer; } And to cool off, consult "Aunt Jane," With ''More-ice Very-near."
