ant about us. Who is my ncighbor 4 ~
He who borrows our axe and gets offend
ed because the party we sent after it did
not bear gilt edged and pcrfumed note,
kindly requesting to deliver it to bearer.
Who is my neighbor? (do., do) All who
are privileged to nose around amongst the
furniture and report upon its defects at
the next sitting all those whose chickens
are expected to scratch out the onion sets
and dust themselves amongst the aspara-
g,ls shoots: whose dogs have the run of
the chicken nests and cats the choice of
the peoples. He who relies upon YOU to
aid in moving stoves, but never invites
You to warm by them; who runs over
to borrow new cake recipe, but gives no
evidence Of ever having followed out its
and who never expects you to
call because you pass by so often. by
these and other signs mayyou know them.
