A FROSTY MORNING.

A wagon, bound for market,
Goes creaking down the road;
/ hear the axles groaning
Beneath the heavy load.
The light grows at my window,
And on the pane, j see,
Jack frost has limned a picture
OF silvery tracery.
Now, from the servants stairway
Slow feet pass down the hall;
And then a kitchen shutter
Clangs out against the wall.
/ love these frosty mornings,
To note these things, and then
To draw the bedclothes closer
And go TO sleep again.

And vim beyond compare.

Proclaims the coming dawn,
And sends the crisp leaves rafting

Nothing has been heard from him since,

that the chart inaccurate; that the posi-

out that he could not agree with Captain Fol-

that the greatest caliber probably was a g.
