Crooked SpcctacIes.

Crooked Spcctaclos.
An elf lived in buttercup.
And walking after dawn,
he donned his golden spectacles
And stepped out on the lawn.
Dear me- said he,
" scarce can see,
The sunbeams shine so crookedlyl"
He met merry bumblebee
Within the clover gay,
Who buzzed GOOD morningr' in his ear
1T IS pleasant day."
Don speak to me-
Sir Bumble-bee,
Until you trim your wingSr cried he.
He met gallant grasshopper,
And thus accosted him:
"Why don't you wear your green coat straight
And look in better trim?
II frets me quite
In such plight
To have you fied-folk in my sightr'
He saw an airy dragon-f1y
Float DER the meadow rail:
" Pray stop, Sir Dragon-hy.'' he cred;
So upside down you sail,
The sight VIII make
My poor head ache;
Fly straight, or rest within the brake"
Then wise owl, upon the tree,
Blinked his great staring eye;
!" To folk in crooked spectacles
The whole world looks awry,
To whit, to whee!
To whoo! =" said he
Many such folk I've lived 10 see."

A METRICAL MEDLEY.
Nutting-Time


The spring-time breeze is a merry breeze
That sets the buds a-twinkle;
1t plays Ter rough and tossing seas,
Whose waves beneath q wrinkle.
It shakes the blossoms from the bough,
And IL sways the forests crown,
But the breeze for me blows wild and fire.
When the ripe nuts patter down.
The summers breeze is a gentle sigh
That scarcely stirs the roses;
II wakes not bee nor butterfly
That hly-couched, reposes.
II dimples not the CLASSY brook
Asit glides DER pebbles brown,
But the breeze for me blows wild and free
When the ripe nuts patter down.
The winters breeze is a wailful cry,
That still is danger boding;
II prowls beneath the earth and sky.
The waves 10 frenzy goading.
IL comes to blanch the sailors cheek
When the icy tempests frown,
Butt breeze for me blows wild and free
When the ripe nuts patter downi
Oh, how ii frolcs among the sheaves,
With rare and CHEEKY laughter;
As on IL goes, the ruby leaves
And golden follow after.
or all IT'S many-t nted gems
II stripes the forests crown,
Ana the breeze for me blows W Id and tree
When the ripe nuts patter down.
-GeOTge Cooper, in Golden Doya
