ITiuel-T That Of our good grandnother's days.
v hich some old logie4 continue to praise,
Yhsn woman never asked to vote,
Nor sought to wear her husbands - coat.
tsceuel-A low-roofsd cottage, whose open door
Reveals q snowy sanded floor;
fireplace deep, With audirons tall
And sHndry kettles, large and small
An osken settle" sanding at oae side,
With high stiff back, and seat too wide -
On the other 3 brick oven, by It's size
Suggesting countless mince and apple pies.
Baked beans, delicious, with brown bread,
And Indian pudding, cooked till red
Ssptry-liSe, a clock IN the corner stands,
Marking the hours with reinorseless hands;
Rush seated chars, upright aud straight,
Hard as any transgressoi'sf.te.
No soft Persian rugs this ioer adorn,
But braided mats from husks Of corn;
Droop strings of scarlet pePperpods
Xeliog pumpkins cut IN slips aud dried,
Ssge, thyme, and mari oram in bundles tied
CaLEip. wormwood. and snow elder flower,
With festooas Of apples, sweet and sour
This Old time picture is Incomplete
Without a woa.au quaint and neat;
Who, with skilled atd clever hands,
Is turning the last aud FIRST soft strands
AS with weary arm and aching soi7,
Back and forth she passes at WHOIB.
