took the deed and told what it was and
passed it around; but John, with his ewes

"You see, Georges folks had kept il a

in the new one.

REAL ANGELS.

I'm q very plain and homely man,
Just leetle old or SO,
And the rheumatic troubles me. of and on,
Whether will or no.
And so whenever that comes to pass
1t drives me o. most in a craze,
To think of the lots of time lose
The many working days.
For my old woman, Meg, and
Agree on this, dye see,
That / shall be sick when she is well.
And be well when she;
For it's little of work that she can do,
When well or ill., for bread,
Yet many stitch her fingers take
From sunrise time till bed.
And so it's no disgrace to us,
With the rheumatic and all,
That sometimes Meg, for hunger's sake,
Should have to pawn her shawl
But then tits woeful hard to me,
When the winter nights arecold,
For miss the shawl on my old legs
If the words be not too bold.
Yet Meg and get somehow on,
For poverty isn't crime,
And we never think nothing about It
Until it comes Thanksgiving time.
For we have a memory, Meg and /,
OF Thanksgiving long ago,
When we both were strong and hearty,
And never knew want or woe.
And so it happens that Meg and
Have been waiting in hope and fear,
To see if the Thanksgiving coming
VIII be like the one last year;
For then we were all right happy,
Meg and the neighbors and l,
And the very remembrance of it
Is enough to make one cry.
1t was all on the THANKSGIVING morning,
When we hadn't loaf of bread,
And Meg and /, to keep life in,
We're obliged to go to bed.
The shawl it was in the pawn-shop,
And we hadn't cent-nOt we;
So we thought it the hardest Thanksgiving
We ever had CHANGED to see.
Meg sat in the bed a sewing,
| reading the Bible to she,
When there came at the door tapping
Like wood-pecker tapping a tree.
Meg cried for the knOcker to enter,
And rosy face peeped in,
With hazel eyes and clustering curls,
White teeth and q dimpied chin.
There was sunshine in a moment
To brush away the gloom,
And voice like an angels whisper
Went sweetly through the room.
1t said: accept this turkey,
Some potatoes and coal, if you please:
1t is merry Thanksgiving DAY,
And no one must starve or freeze"
o. wasn't Meg up directly,
But the angel had vanished in air,
And stout man stood with bushel of coal,
ana inc turkey II lay on chair.
And didn't we have a feast
In a good old-fashioned way;
And wasn't we warm and JOLLY fed
That glorious Thanksgiving dayi
So that is my tale all told
A homely tale at the best
A tale that Meg and l repeat
Each night when we go to rest
l have heard of angels with wings,
Who noiselessly fit through the air.
But the angel of angles that we like best
Left turkey upon the chair.
