Corns are of two kinds-vegetable
and animal. Vegetable corn grows in
rows, animal corn grows on toes.
There are several kinds Of corn;there
is the unicorn, the capricorn, the corn
dodger, the field corn and the toe corn,
which is the corn you feel most.
1t is said, 1 believe. that gophers like
corn but persons having corns do not
ike to go far if they can help it.
Corns have kernels and some colonies
have corns.
Vegetable corn grows on ears but an
imal corns on feet, at the other end of
the body.
Another kind of corn is the acorn;
these kind grows on oaks, but there is
no hoax about che corn. Many a man
when he has a corn wishes it was an
acorn.
Folks who have corns sometimes send
for doctor, and if the doctor himself
is eorned he won't do so we'll as if he
isn't. The doctor says corns are pro-
duced by tight boots and shoes, which
is probably the reason why, when a
man is tight, they say he is corned.
If a farmer manages an acre; but l
know farmer that has one corn that
makes the biggest aeher on this farm.
The bigger crop Of vegetable corn a
man raises the better he likes it. but
the bigger crop ofanimal corn he raises
he does not like it.
Another hind of corn ia corndodger.
The way it is made is very simple,
and is as follows. that is if you want to
know: You go along the street and
meet man you know has corn, and
why is rather a rough character; then
you step OH the toe that has the corn
on it and see if you don't have occasion
to dodge. In that way you will find
what a oorndodger is.

Till the tread of marching feet
Throng the quiet, grass grown street
OF the little town shall come,
Soldier rest awhile 1t home.
While the banners idly hang,
While the bugles do not clang,
While is hushshed the clamorous drum.
Soldier, rest awhile at home.
In the breathing time Of death.
While the sword is in its sheath,
While the canbon's mouth is dumb.
Soldier, rest awhile at home.
Not too long the rest shall be,
Soon enough, to death and thee.
The assembly call shall come,

WATCH and WAIT.
BY MRS. n. A. KIDDER.
There is comfort for all,
My anxious friend,
Though we may not
Fix the date
A peace and JOY
Without alloy,
If we only will
Watch and wait.
Who of us can tell,
BY the morning cloud
What the rest of
The day may be?
Whether shade or shine,
BY this seeming sign,
That may stay
Or quickly flea?
There is nothing so sweet
As a biding trust,
That a fathers
Hand will SOW,
In perfect rhyme,
For the summer time,
Or the season
OF frost and snow.
The heart hath seasons,
Ny little friend,
It buds and
Blooms betimes;
And its fruits will be
Most fair to see,
If We dwell in
The sunniest chimes.
If we seek forever
The sweet and fair;
And think Of the
Good and true
If We bide our time,
We shall hear the rhyme.
And be happy tho
Whole day through.
Though storms may come,
Though lightnings fash,
And the heavens
Seem to fall;
We may calmly smile,
And trust the while
In the Power that
Governs all.
We shall comfort find,
My anxious friend.
Be it early, or
Be it late;
Sweet peace and JOY.
Without alloy,
If We only will
Watch and wait.
