MOSES DODD.

lister to think, an SO did Bess-
An, ali the neighbors round. guess
when Moses Dodd was somehow sent -,
To quarter in our settlement -494l1
Thar warn't no use in iookin' 'round3
For premium humblyness; we'd found
The same; of all the Urinary squad 41ut
The priced go to Moses Dodd. 54-.-
o {.
D,nged Of he warn,t sight No way
You'd look al him but you would say ~
He war q Flemish on the land;
You wouldn't ,zactly understand
which feetur was the wust; no phiz
Were ever freckleder than his,
An, scented, sighted, haired and snou
with humblyness was Moses Dodd.
They talk bout Shakespeare's "Caliban'
why. long o. Moses. that ERE man
,I1,d seemed a Venus; he'd about
The most egrejus hgger out,
No part of him war made to nj,
An efhe'd walk or eff he'd SIT
he seemed fright-a ojus wao
OF clumsyness-did Moses Dodd.
Somehow 1t made the folks feel queer
To have him breathe their atmosphere,
He was so botched In every pint
They feared he'd put it out o. jint,
An, ef your cornfield he'd come thro'
As like as not 'twould come to you
'.That scarecrow stickin' in the clod
Must be ashamed of Moses Dodd."
In short, / couldn't see no sense
In clamin' him on Providence;
I'd study nature, see the f1ocks.
The orchards, and the holiyhocks,
The hillocks o. the new mown hay,
An when at church the parson'd say
1.-THE Lord made all that's on the Sod"
I'd whisper "ceptin' Moses Dodd."
But onct, when our Newfoun lain, "spry.'
Was haggled by the kears, an
Came long that way in winter sleet
An foun' oil Moses at his feet
An nussin' o. his woun's. whilst round
The beast his only coat was bound,
I says with re vealin' nod.
THAT takes the burs off Moses Dodd."
Come 'mongst us, an we heard the name
o. Wilder Meek and child as lost,
Then saw figger dash acrost incl
The street, break through the blaze pell-
An fetch two forms from that there hell,
Says Betsy, givin' me prod.
There's humblier men nor Moses Dodd."
Then come the small -pox long our way,
An bless yer! from the arlicst day
That pest'lsnce lit, an angel come
A tip-toeiu' from hum to hum;
With healin' ba'm an tender hand,
With kindness all could understand.
An willin' feet as ever trod
Moved that sweet-hearted Moses Dodd.
Then what new light 'peared to break
Upon us all; 1t seemed to take
The mist from off our eyes way thro'
The outer iin'ments into
The beautyo the soul we saw,
His features showed no fieck nor flaw.
We read there nothing strange nor odd.
But grand, heroic Moses Dodd.
An now we never see his face
In street, or in the meetin' place,
But shines out from the inner parts
A glow that captures all our hearts,
An each one says-as I've no doubt
"Efhe was jes' turned inside out
Then tolks'd see. 'mongst works of God,
No han'somer man IAN Moses Dodd.'
