The following is one Of the products Of
the trip:
OF all the places TO Ash and rest,
The -Four Ponds camps are by far the best
Plenty of fish, and everything good,
And twenty five miles back In the wood.
IT'S very great pleasure for men who work.
To steal away where the willy trout Turk.
Even the doctor likes 70 go,
And with the blacksmith tbs even 30.
The camps are pleasant, the beds are nice;
There's pure spriug water. and snow and Ice.
The trout are gamy, large and small;
And for genuine pluck our doctor beats all.
The millmen are as bad as the rest
And the carpenters are not always the beet.
But with all the tramping on the route,
They Ike 10 go and 1--we on trout.
Good bye to the trout, goodbye to the pond.
Well be ready to star In the early morn,
With gripsacks empty, and rods In the case,
There's considerable fun In the homeward
chase. E.w. CHANDLER.
