Mrs. S. L. Higbee, Atlanta, Ga:
LIFE IN THE COUNTRY.
life in the country, on little farm
In comfortable log house, there is quite charm;
Rooms are small and coy, neatly whitewashed
/ DER,
Good old fashioned carpets upon the oaken floor.
A life in the country, Oh tits pleasant thing,
To ramble through the green woods, with children
in spring
Their merry little voices, with laughter wildly ring
ing,
them singing.
Life in the country, up at break of day,
And the sun has risen breakfast cleared away,
Then a walk through the meakows, in search of
sweet wild flowers,
To me they are mementoes of childhoods happy
hours.
Life in the country, listening to the bees,
IIunming all so pleasantly, among the apple trees,
We know they are preparing, for us, honeyed
store,
And long to enjoy when all their labor's Ger
Life in the country, brt hing the fresh air
Always blowing purely, II thing in cities rare,
Watching gorgeous sunsets no brick walls inter-
vene
To keep from enjoying this most glorious scene.
Life in the country, at close ofsummer's day
To watch the fitfl lightning amongth dark clouds
play.
So often I've enjoyed them at home i'll summer
time.
Life in the country when Autumn yields her store
sthen we relish country life more keenly than
before;
The trees have doued their gayest robes which soon
must withered fall,
Dropping all so silently as Natures funeral pail.
A life in the country when Winters icy chains
Have bound the little riyulets that lnurnured DER
the plains;
TITS then we pile the faggots high and gatberaround
the hearth
Or join the children social plays, ofinnocence and
mirth
