And I'll keep your eggs warm till you

little brown wren,
With chirp of delight, you're the

Of course adore The dear little things,
Still, sitting on eggs steadily, brings

So the good little mother flew of to the

And The father sat down in her place in
the nest.
Delighted to give The wee wiley a rest

asleep,
Buy he woke with Jump, for he heard

He luttered about in his fidgety fear,
He hoppetl up and down, and he twitter-

HIS sense of relief can only be guessed,
For oui of bird language it can't be ex-

When he saw her, at last flying back to

And she, when she saw such n wonderful

Three little baby wrens Matching all right,
She couldn't contain her pride and delight,

legalized vice, as follows: ave spoken
plainly, and / will speak more and more
plainly, for these laws disgust me.
They fill me with an increasing horror
and disgust, and, in Parliament or out
Of it, so long as / have breath, will
proclaim their enormity, for l hate them
with an undying hate. The time will
come tor the final struggle, when the
mask Of hypocrisy will finally be
dropped, when the whole scheme will
be made known to the minds and hearts
of the people, and in all its hldeous de-
formity, and then DO not doubt the is
sue, for tie Lord will have delivered
them into our hands" "
