The BOYIess Town.

A cross old woman of long ago
Declared that she hated noise;
THE town would be so pleasant, you know
If only there were no boys"
She scolded aud fretted about il till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead,
And then, of a sudden, the town grew still,
For all the boys had fled.
And ali through the long and dusty street
The re wasn't boy in view;
The baseball lot where they used to meet
Was a sight TO make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base,
And the paths that the runners had made;
For there wasn't a soul in all the place
Who knew how the game was played.
The dogs we're sleeping the livelong day
Why should they bark or leap?
There wasn't whistle or call to play,
And so they could only sleep.
The pony neighed from his lonely stall
And longed for saddle and rein;
And even the birds on the garden wall
Chirped only dull refrain,
The cherries rotted and went to waste
There was no one TO climb the trees;
And nobody had single taste,
Save only the birds and bees
There wasn't a messenger boy-not one
To speed as such messengers can;
If people waited their errands done,
They sent for messenger man.
There was little, ween, of frolic and noise
There was less of cheer and mirth;
The sad old town, since 1t lacked its boys,
Was the dreariest place on earth.
The poor old woman began 10 weep
Then woke with a sudden scream:
"DeaT mel" she cried; II have been asleep;
And OH what horrid dream"
ST. Nicholas.
