Old HaYSeed.

Old Hayseed. ION a summer day.
Raked the meadow, sweet with hay"
And as the II agrance filed the air,
The old man grew poetic there.
He struck poetic feet in snatchee,
He called Maud Muller up in patches.
IT might have BEEN Judge he said,
Sat in the shade and earned my bread,
Ruled the court-been judge of men"
Rode in chaise-''lt might have been"
ut might have been," but it isn't SO,
Though feasible forty years ago..
Then one road to the courthouse led,
To the meadow-this Hayseed-old gray head
The other took; and found that day
The girl that blessed him, raking hay.
And ever since, of all the farm,
The bayfield, has the sweetest charm.
The Judge" had passed her under the tree,
And smitten sadly in heart was he,
For never lady IN all the town
Not butterfly in silken gown
Could match that simple rustic face,
In form and sweetness, tone and grace.
And never after in all the town,
From the gaudy milIiner, on down,
Could the Judge see aught that pleased his eye
He had passed his lifelong chances by;
And lonely bach. on the bench he sat,
And had for domestics dog and cat.
But Hayseed won noble wife
The charm and comfort of his life.
And, beside a thousand other Joys,
Was blessed with six fine strapping boys.
Two ran the farm-two took to science
All were cranks and Joined the Alliance.
And, what may seem little queer,
When Hayseed went to vote that year.
They made their seven ballots roll,
Against the Judges lonely poll,
And sat him down in quiet life,
Without docket, bench or wife.
And now Judge Trickster. turning pale,
Yields to his fate-so tells my tale.
''Of all sad words of tonge or pen,
The saddest are these. 1t might have BEEN
Who took the bench next year-you say?
Nicodemus hayseed gained the day.
And from the farm and from the docket,
Put honest shekels in his pocket
He ran ahead In the race of life,
By honest toll and noble wife.
And though SEINE forty years had passed,
Since Nicodemus took to grass.
And hayseeds clung to his hoary hair,
No fraud had ever nestled there.
The Judge had bonds, and Hayseed steers;
Their roads diverged for forty years.
One an honest life began.
The other-Only half a man
Had climbed on crags and points of law,
But never made the halter draw,
When pelf was laid to case the pain,
Oil always slipped it off again.
The biggest pile he had in vision,
Had much to do with the decsion;
And thus-at night-a lonely bed
very crooked life he led.
But when old Hayseed, rural soul,
Cut across the fields, and reached the goal,
On every lip, in truth twas said,
Your honor" found a worthy head.
And though, in tricks, not so we'll skilled,
The judgship was more ably filed;
For strong good sense was bi ought to bear,
And every point was settled there.
The object, not to hunt flaw.
But just application give the law,
And keep the tricksters at the bar,
From sounding pockets quite so far.
