WHAT ';SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE

WHAT s,SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE
MEANS.
Saturday Evening Post.
You all know this rime, but
have you ever heard what it really
means?
The four-and-twenty black
birds represent the twenty-four
hours. The bottom of the pie is
the world, while the top crust is
the sky which overarches it. The
opening of the pie is the day-dawn
when the birds begin to sing, and
surely such a sight is fit for a king.
The king who is represented as
sitting in his parlor counting out
his money. is the sun, while the
gold pieces that slip through his
fingers as he counts them, are
the golden sunbeams
The queen, who sits in the dark
kitchen, is the moon, and the HON
ey with which she regales herself
is the moonlight.
The Industrious maid, who is in.
the garden at work before her king
the sun-has risen, is day-dawn,
and the clothes she hangs out are
clouds. The birds who so tragic
ally, end the song by ''nipping off
her nose" are the sunset So we
have the whole day, if not in a
nutshell, in pie.

in the trial of Mrs, Marsh and William

November next, when they will be put
in solitary confinement until Feb. 3rd,
1899, on which day they shall be
hanged by the neck until dead. Sher-
