A JUVENILE OPTIMIST.

My gran-dad says these modern days Of steam an 'lectric light Beats anything that ever was; An gran-dad's mostly right, But I can't help some doubtfulness When into bed I climb, An dream about these good old day5 Of Once Upon Time. I've got to hustle on the farm When get big enough, I wish 1 knew some fairy spell To do the work that's rough, I'd like to make the brownies toll By sayin' some queer rhyme The same as them there wizards did In Once Upon a Time. I wish that polishin' cur lamp A genii would arouse Sos 1 could say, Go, slave, an feed Them pigs and milk the cows I'd make him wear the overalls An face the mud an grime. But this or earth ain't what it was In Once Upon a Time. Yet history repeats itself,
 My gran-dad says, an so I keep on hCpin' as l watch The seasons come an go, That I may live to see 'em back The brownies in their prime. The wizards an them other folks, Of Once Upon a Time.
