The nut tree babies. young and small,
Lay In green cradles satin lined;
Rocked lightly by the summer wind;
No bough did break no cradle fall
The nut tree babies, one and all,
Slept in their cradles peacefully
While wood doves crooned lullaby.
One autumn day the nuts nwoke.
The yellow leaves were strewn about,
And mischieyous Jack Frost was out
And played those babies such q jolxel
Their cradles with touch he broke,
And the brown nut tree babies fell
one with another, all pellmell.
But with the coming Of the spring,
When all the earth is green again
With April sun and April rain,
We shah behold curious thing
A crowd of saplines in a ring
Who're every nut fen down Will be
a tiny little spronting tree.
some day thu saplings VIII be grown.
And ON their branches viii be seen
Hundreds ST. cradles, Saft aud green,
Amid the leaves that make their crown,
Fer nut tree babies Of their own,
And winds Will rock them low and high
And wood doves Groom lullaby.

and daughters of the United States
army officers ut TT. Crawford, near
Prairie du Chen. For several years
he boarded with the family of Gen.

he has many peculiarities Of dress

by those who know him well. His

Representative Walker, of Mass,

profit ever made on like issue Of
