A SONG o. SIxPENCE.

o sing song o sixpence a-going here and
From early dawn Of morning to latest set
of sun;
With my very utmost effort would surely
quite despair
OF telling half the things that have done.
Just Jolly little sixpence, nothing more nor
less
A jolly little sixpence a-going out and in
OF half world of pockets; you would never,
never guess
OF the many curious places have been.
I've bought holy Bible, I've bought a loaf
of bread;
The diamond fingered lady and the man of
bonds and stocks,
That the hungry souls of heathendom afar
off might be fed,
Have dropped me in the missionary box.
In little boys first "pottets" I've had happy
With marbles, strings and fsh-hooks, a
tangled snarly mess;
1t has been my gracious duty to buy the yard
That frilled around the neck of Biddy's
dress
In an iron safe I've languished for weary
weeks and weeks,
I've s SoaESao in De,f stocking tho miser's
And one old person kept me-some people
have such freaks
In teapot on her pantrys highest shelf.
I've tourneyed in the East in the wild and
know the heart of London, I've crossed
the sea in ships:
I've been battered for a blossom to wear on
beauty's breast.
And for ice to cool a baby's fevered lips.
But every fashion changes-you may have
heard the same
Grown thin in useful serving ray respite
came at last
don't quite understand it, but know that
All at once simple relic of the past
And then one day a lover beside his dearest
dear
Sat gaiiy looking over box of curios,
And he took me up and whispered so low I
could not hear,
But I saw her lovely cheek grow like the
roses.
did not hear her answer she did not speak
quite plain.
He. somehow, had to closely bend lis head,
And then he took cruel knife and cut me
quite in twain.
] suppose it was because of what she said.
He kissed me. kissed us, rather, and she,
On a chain around her neck he hung part
Then with some tender loVe-words, I'd take
my oath of this.
He laid my other half upon his heart.
Sing a song O. sixpence; labor done and over
who know the true heart of loyal maid and
lover,
What that's born of silver would not six
pence be?
All my Journeys ended, all my wanderings
DER,
From my sweet new duty never will rove
Ye who haply listen know this evermore,
That the song of siXpence is just the song
of love.

Within a month the Wstertown
Comm Times has heard of the disap-
pointment and surprise of no less than
three widows who had not asked their
husbands to protect them by will, as
they had an idea that they were legally
entitled to one-third Of the property.
But they were not, as that "one-third"
means only the income or use of one
third of the real estate-not the owner
ship of it. If the real estate is worth
SO, 900 the widow will have the use of
81, 900 worth of it; this, al five per cent,
would amount to $50 year.
