That is, ef poetry is jis
As sweet as I've heran tell it is!
Home-folks-they're jis the same as kim
All brung up, same as we have bin,
Without no overpowerin sense
Of their uncommon consequence!
They've bin to school, but not to get
The habit fastened on EN- yit
So as to ever interfere
With other work ats waitin' here:
Home-folks has crops to plant and plow,
Er lives in town ann keeps COW;
But whether country-jakes er town,
They know when eggsis up er down.
La can't you spot 'em-when you meet
En- anywheres-in field er street,
And can't you see their faces, bright
As circus day, heave into sight7
And can't you hear their "howdy" clear
AS brook chuckle to the ear,
And allus find their laughin' eyes
As fresh and clear as morning skies?
And can't you-when they've gone away
Jis feel 'em shakin' hands, all day3
And feel, too, you've been higher raised
By sich meetin'3-God be praised!
Oh, home-folksl you're the best Of all
At ranges this terestchull ball,
But north or south, or east or west,
It's home is where you're at your BEST
It's home-it's home your faces shine,

called to the peculiar actions of a

beauties Of the goods offered for

box and hide it in the bosom of
her dress. When she had emplird
the box the youthful shop-liiier,
who showed a cleverness indica-

took her in charge and, after re-
