JUST AS OF OLD.

You tell me the children to-day
Are not like the ones that we knew;
They weary Of old-fashioned play
Unsuitable pleasures pursue.
You've seen them. you say. In the schools
Where dancing is daintily taught;
Where Fashion an auto FRAT rules,
Simplicity passing for naught.
They're old for their years. you recite;
They're leaving the cradle too soon:
They'll find they have come to the night
When life should be Just at its noon.
You weary of laces and curls,
Falntleroy even annoys;
You long for the old-fashioned girls
And long for the old-fashioned boys.
Why Judge OF bird by Its cage?
Why hold to the pessinists view?
Why treat as faslt of the age
What Only pertains to few?
Though all CT his costliest plants
Protected and sheltered have stood,
The gardener readily grants
That flowers are found in the wood.
The parlor has pictures untrue
AND frequently worth passing DER:
I'd search in the fields, were you,
Or pause by the nursery door.
The old-feshioned boys OF to-day
Are romping like those you have known
The old-fsshioned girls are at play;
The old-fashioned days haven't flown.
