where he lived, When he heard, he said:

Is the unusual number Of planets doing duty as
morning stars. Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mercury
and Neptune form a quintet that shine together
as they await the coming OF the sun. The love.

In close vicinity to the sam9 shining trio.

Remember Dennis, all babe you say:
Tell him we're well and happy, thank the Lord.
But OF our troubles, since he went away,
You mind, avick, and never say a word,
or cares and troubles, sure, we've all our share
The finest summer isn't always fair,
Tell him the spotted heller calyed In May
She died poor thing-but that you needn't mind,
Nor how the constant rain destroyed the hay,
But tell him God to us was ever kind,
And, when the fever spread the country DER,
His mercy kept the sickness from our door.
Be sure you tell him how the neIghbors came
And cut the corn and stored II In the barn.
'Twould be as well to mention them by name

And big Tim Daley, from behind the hill;
Aud say agra, Oh say 1 miss him still.
They came with ready hands our toll to share;
Twas then l mlssedhlm most, my own right hand
I felt, although kind hearts were round me there,
The kindest heart beat In q foreign land.
Strong hands, brave heart, one severed far from me
BY many a weary league of shore and sea.
And tell him she was with us-he'n know who,
Mavourneen hasn't she the winsome eyes?
The darkest, deepest, brightest, loveliest blue
1 ever saw except in summer skies!
And such black haIrI 1t is the blacklist hair
That ever rlppled over neck 80 fair.
Tell him old Pincher fretted many a day
And moped, poor dog Twas well he didn't die,
Crouched by the roadside, how he watched the way
And shifted the travellers 40 they passed him by;
Hall, rain or sunshine, sure twas all the same
He listened for the foot that never came,
Tell him the house is lonesome like and cold;
The fire Itself seems robbed Of half It's light;
But may be lis my eyes are growing old,
And things look dim before my fading sight.
For all that tell him twas myself that spun
The shirts you bring, and stitched them every one.
Give him my blessing, morning, noOn, and night;
Tell him my prayers are offered for his good,
That he may keep his Maker still IN sight,
And firmly stand as his brave father stood
True to his name, his country, and his God;
Faithful at home, and steadlast still abroad.
