THE FLY-AWAY-61RD.
AND OTHER HIGH-FLYING REMARKS BY
SAM WALTER FOSS.

AN ACCURATE FIEND AND HIS HORRIBLE DEATH
BEN BUELAP's BARN
Copyright. 1893. BY Sam Walter Foss)
THE FLY-AWAYBIRD.
Oh. the Fly-Away- Bird Is swift Of wing.
And swift and high is he.
And he flies as high in the blue of the sky
As any birds that be-
And fleet of foot Is the lusty man.
AS fleet as a winged word.
Who can sprinkle salt, without default,
On the tail of the Fly-Away-Bird.
But the FIy-Away- Bird seems tame $ hen,
Like n BARNARD fowl seems he,
But the nest he has made or the egg he has laid
Is absent absentee.
And when n with sprinkle of salt
Comes near to his roosting place,
The bird he darts to the outermost parts
OF the farthest shores of space.
But we all chase after the Fly-Away-Brd
Over river and mountain and dale.
And think in an hour we'll have the power
To sprinkle the salt on his tall
But still since the base OF the planet was laid,
And the morning stars were heard,
No fortunate fellow has felt of the mellow.
Bright plumes OF the Fly-Away Bird.
For the Fly-Away- Bird is our own bright dream.
It's the hope that was born with man;
Then follow it far to the uttermost STAR
The clear blues farthest span.
And the man who has no Fly-Away-Bird
Is n mortal most fororn:
1t were better that he should be sunk In the sea-
or that he had never been born.
Sec, he lights up there on the Crags OF hope
And his wings they CLEAN in the sun
With the gorgeous dyes Of the sunset Skies
When the summer day is DONE
And though this bird was never yet cageo
In "A narrower cage than the sky.
Whose is deferred from chasing the bird'-
It's time for that man to die
Then up and away for the Fly-Away-Blrd'
Let us lead him jolly good race;
And let every know that the bird that MES 10"
Is no kind OF a bird to chase.
Then NJ and away for this high-hying FOWL
Let him pierce to the deeps of the sky,
Let him understand, with the salt in our hand,
Wen chase till the day that we die.

Tazeweu avenue s. W., was struck in
the head and seriously injured bv a
fragment of stone weighing four or 1--WE
ounces, which flew from blast in the
sewer excavation being made near the
house. The stone cut large and deep
cash over the left eye and the blow
knocked Mrs. Wilson down and was
severe shock to her nervous system.
Doctors Halle and Strickland were

promptly dressed. The eyesight will
not be injured and although it is too

physicians think Mrs. Wilson'S injuries
are not dangerous. At last accounts
