MAUD MULLER.

Maud Muller, on summers day,
Mounted her wheel and rode away.
Beneath her blue cap glowed a wealth
OF large red freckles and tirst-rate
health.
Singing. she rode. and her merry glee
Frightened the sparrow from his tree.
But when she was several miles from
town,
Upon the hill-slope coasting down,
The sweet song died and vague I'M
rest
And a sort of terror filled her breast
A fear that she hardly dared to own,
For " hat if her wheel should strike a
stone.
The Judge scorched swiftly down the
road
Just then he heard his tire exploded
He carried his wheel into the shade
OF the apple tree, to await the maid.
And he asked her if she would kindly
loan
Her pump to him, as he'd lost his own.
She left her wheel with sprightly
jump,
And in less than jiffy produced her
pump.
And she blushed as she gave it looking
down
At her feet, once hid by trailing
gown.
Then said the Judge, as he pumped
away,
"'Tis very fine weather we're having
to-day"
He spoke of grass and flowers and
trees;
Of twenty-mile runs and centuries
And Maud forgot that no trailing
gown
Was over her boomers hanging down.
But the tire was fixed, alack a-day!
The Judge remounted and rode away.
Maud Muller looked and sighed, "Ah,
mel
That ! the Judges bride might be!
''My father should have a-brand new
wheel
Of the costliest make and the finest
steel.
And I'd give one to ma of the same
design,
So that she'd cease to borrow mine"
The Judge looked back, as he climb
ed the hill.
And saw Maud Muller standing still,
"A prettier face and form more fair
I've seldom gazed, at, | declare!
would she were mine, and | to-day
Could make her put those bloomers
away!"
But he thought of his sisters, proud
and cold,
And shuddered to think how they
would scold,
If he should, one of these afternoons,
Come home with a bride in panta-
looms.
He married wife of richest dover
Who never succumed to the boomers
power;
Yet oft while watching the smoke
wreaths curl,
He thought Of that freckled bloomer
girl;
OF the way she had stood there, pigeon
toed,
While he was pumping beside the
road.
She married man who clerked in a
store,
And many children played around her
door;
And then her boomers brought her
SIZE cut them down for her oldest
boy.
But still of the Judge she often
thought,
And sighed DER the loss her bloomers
wrought,
Or wondering if wearing them was a
sin,
And then confessed. at might have
been"
Alas, for the Judge! Alas for the
maidi
Dreams were their only stock in
trade.
For of all wise words of tongue or
pen.
The wisest are these: leave pants for
men!"
All, well! For us all hope still re-
mains
For bloomer girl and the man of
brains,
And, in the hereafter, boomers may
BE allowed tO block the waVl
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1896-04-23
