AFTER THE FOURTH OF JULY.

We put him to bed in his little night
gown.
The most battered youngster there was
In the town:
Yet he said as he opened his only we'll
eye,
"Rah. rah, for the jolly old Fourth of
July!"
Two thumbs and eight fingers with lint
were tied up.
On his head was bump like an up
side down cup.
And his smile was distorted, and his
nose all awry,
From celebrating the glorious Fourth
of July.
We were glad; he had started abroad
with the sun,
And all day had lived in the powder
and fun:
While the boom of the cam On roared
up to the sky,
To salute Young Americas Fourth Of
July.
said we were glad all the pieces were
there,
AS we plastered and bound them with
tendereSt care.
But out of the wreck came the words
with sigh,
"If tomorrow was only the Fourth Of
July!"
He will grow all together again, neve
fear,
And be ready to celebrate freedom next
year;
Meanwhile all his friends are most
thankful there lies,
A crackerless twelvemonth 'twixt
Fourth of Julys
We kissed him good night on his pow
der-specked face,
We laid his bruised hands softly down
in their place;
AS he murmured. as sleep closed his
one open good eye,
II wish every day was the Fourth OF
July!"
Good Roads.
