THE OLD ATTIC ROOM.

I remember the dear old attic room, -
: Where slept when little boy,
In the farmhouse over beside the hill,
When life was perfect joy.
I remember the chairs so old and quaint,
And the bed wheraon slept.
And the chest of drawers beside the door,
Where the apples were always kept
I remember well how the early sun
Through the window small would stray,
And how the bird in the tree outside
Would warbls his morning lay.
And how my mothers Time to get upr'
On my needless ear would fall.
And the uupretsntious print that hung
So crookedly on the wall.
remember the ceiling. cracked and low,
Where bunches of peppers hung.
And the old green curtain that wouldn't roll
up,
But in every wild breeze swung.
I remember the barrels with stove pipes filed,
And various other things.
And the memory of this dear old room
Remembrances also brings
Of the nights I had Of innocent rest;
What wouldn't give to be
Again in the rosy. boyheoa dreams,
A wanderer happy and frse3
And on its carpetless floor to romp,
A merry aud boistcrous boy,
And sec my little sister play
With her latest painted toy9
The room was not fair to look upon,
But to mo twas q jolly nest.
All, that now as then could lay me down,
Its tired and willing guest,
AAd dream the dreams that then dreampt i,
In the nights so cold and still,
On the homely bed in that attic room,
In the farm .house by the hill!
