that he can locate and name each and

while South Dakota gives but $3.50 for

THE DAYS AND THE YEAR.

What is the world, my little one?
Our world belongs to that clock, the sun.
Steady it spins; while the clock beats true
Days and seasons for me and you.
And tick, tick, took, goes the mighty clock,
While time swings on below,
Now left, now right. now day, now night.

Then falling snowtialles and winters hush.
While tick, tick, took, goes the mighty clock,
And the world swings on below,
Budding, blowing, shining, showing,
With tick, took to and fro.
A little song when the heart is glad
A little sigh when the way is sad,
Whether the shadows or sunbeams fall
Sweet rest and dreaming at last for all,
While tick tick, tocll goes the mighty clock
And the world swings on below,
Smiling, signing, singing, crying,
With IL tick, took to and fro
So is the way, my own little one
Our world belongs to that clock, the sun,
And the hand that somewhere keeps the key
Is the same that hodcth sou and me,
While tick tick, took goes the mighty clock
And the world swings on below,
Now left, now right, now day, now night,
With II tick, took to and fro.

serve:
Its quite a distance to Vineland. -

farmer.
Another mile was passed, and then
the stranger inquired:
