OUR CELEBRATION.

rhe birds have been practicing glees,
but today
They gave up their concert and flew
away;
AND the locusts and grasshoppers,
noisy and shrill,
Gould not make themselves heard, and
SO they kept still;
And the clustering wind went off in a
huff,
Since nobody noticed how loud he
could puff.
And the clouds rolled up from the west
in row,
For they thought that the noise in the
world below
Was the voice of the thunder to call
them together,
And so they began to make showery
weather.
And TIM Man in the Moon, being great
ly perplexed
Wished for hands or feet, as we'll as
a face,
70 cover his ears up, or run from his
place
And the baby stars opened their bright
little eyes,
And stared down below with the great
est surprise
70 see how the rockets shot up in the
sky
But they never guessed out
What Ii all was about.
That we were just keeping the Fourth
