OLD NELL.
By FLORENCE JOSEPHINE BoYcs.

Yes, stranger, the old horse is dead sir,
And We mourncd for to part with our Nell,

Since she's labored SO long and SO well.
Be sure, she was not very young SIR,
Nor a. handsome as many a one;
But look for Il more faithful bea7t, sir
And II guarantee you will find none
How gentle she was to us all. sir,
Ayl twas seldom you'd see one more KIND
And tho years had come aud had gone. sir,
Tho her eyes were becoming quito blind;
When The little girls went to the stall, sir,
Where their faithful Old Nellie was tied,
She would look from her patient brown eye'
And seem to invite them to ride.
And they knew very well what she said sir,
Or whnt she was trying to say;
Fer do think she used to converse sir
Tho, OF course, in her own silent way.
And once to a man OF renown, sir,
This very same Nellie was sold
and taken away frOn the town. sir,
For thousand bright dollars in gold
But that was in days passed away, sir,
All, yes n much earlier date
And then she was pTaucinE and gay, sir,
Iwo-forty she went With mate.
But old age will come at some time sir,

So We II Just remember old Nell. sir,
And think She is calmly Mt rest.
Two shoes from her patient old feet sir,
Hang high on the sitting wall;
They re Gildcd Nil over quite neat, sir
Her story We tell unto all.
But You think there's no home for horse. sil
Thereafter she put in the ground,
Excepting the place whore she lies sir
Excepting the grass-covercd mound?

Perhaps that your way is as we'll;
But If heaven there is for IL horse sir,
