In the meadows where the daisies make a
carpet fer your feet;
Where tho nestin' birds are chirpin' ;
where the brook, in witchin' play,
Goes laughin' on, a-pushing all tho lilies
out of his way,
You'll find me almost any time a-lyin' ut

With the full song o. the locust and the

Above me and aroun' me; Pm poet IN

An I'd ratf er hear the birds sing an to

But the worlds SO full O. beauty, ar you

But differ ent folks has different minds,

with an interrogalive up:urning Of

"Five hundred dollars" said Gym

The Ode Of the Reluctant Candidate,

Western Plowman.
About tins stime Of the year the
reluctant candidate commences his
struggle with lmpOrtunate friends.
He doesn't want any Office, he
hasn't any political aspirations, he
has doubts about his fitness for the
place, he is afraid his own business
interests may be endangered, he
would prefer that some other per
son be selected, etc, etc.
But; He feels that his friends
are entitled to a proper cOnsidera-
lion, and if they feel that he is the
proper man to represent their in
terests, why, of course, ETC., etc.,
etc. TennysOn has portrayed the
various stages in his course from
hesitation to acceptance In the fol.
lowing stanza
STAGE 1.
He is surprised when his friends
ask him TO become their candidate.
He does not know who has ever Of
lered them any encouragement 10
suppose that he could accept.
Ask me no more, the moon may draw the
sea;
The cloud may stOOp to earth and take
the shape
In fold to fold Of ncean and OF cape,
But o. too fond, when have answered
theei
Ask me no more.
STAGE II.
But his friends still importune
him. They show. him how badly
his services are needed, and that
The party will go 10 everlasting
smash if he does not come 10 their
rescue. He must, indeed he must
consent TO save it.
Ask me no more,
What answer should | givef
love not faded cheek nor hollow eye
Yet. o, my friend, l would not have
thee diel
Ask me no more, lest shOuld bid thee
livei
Ask me no more.
STAGE III.
Nevertheless, they ask him some
more, and they put the case so
strongly that he throws everything
else 10 the winds and abandons
himself to his fate. Do hear him !;
Ask me no more,
Thy fate and mine are sealedl
strove against the stream, but all in
vain
let the great current drive me to the
mainl
No more, dear love, for al . touch yieldi
Ask me no mOret
And that settles Il.
