TIE OLD RELL COW.
When I was but boy I used 80 happily

When was but boy I used 90 happily to
roam
Through every nook and corner of the dear
old country home.
At dewy morn to pasture I would drive
the cows, and when
The sun was fading in the west drove
them home again.
There was one among their number re-
member very well,
It seems but yesterday saw the COW that
wore the bell.
She wasn't any prettier nor of a better
breed,
But all the others followed her wherever
she would lead;
And in my youthful mind used to wonder
why and how
1t was that all the cattle tagged the old
bell COW.
Strange years of sheAow and of shine have
passed away since then,
And now I mIngle daily with the busy
hosts of men,
And still I muse as earnestly as what
used to do,
For men, find, are likewise quite peculiar
creatures, too.
And some have natures made of gold, with.
out a speck or flaw,
While some are only gilded forms all
padded out with straw.
And while the modest, worthy man the
world may never heed;
The counterfeit, who loudly brags, steps
in and takes the lead,
The one who "toots his horn" Is sure to
get the crowd, and now
I know why all the cattle tagged the old
bell COW.
