In methods and supplies,
And husband now. and children all.
Look with reproaCh at me,
If thrice upon the festal board
Each day no pies they see.
An, me, why was my childish play
Not nipped while in the bud!
Why did | try my prentice hand
Upon those pies of mud!
For have now so cruSty grown,
Yet none do realize
That I'm a martyr to the cause
OF pies, pies. pies.

That we should have risked a second

advantage of arms. Not one of the men

A Serious Accident

A. Swanson, a carpenter in the
employ of the Heeia plantation, fell
over the Pail last Saturday and sus-
tanned injuries, from which there is
small hope that he will recover.
The hat of the unfortunate man was
blown away, and in trying to recover
it he lost his foothold, and was pre-
cipitated to depth of over $50 feet.
The injured man was carried to the
Heeia plantation, where he lies in
a very precarious condition.
