so free from toll and care.
The ncighbors line their windows and
hasty census take
OF all the bric-a brac we have, and

who they were, by their looks?

from actual practice carried on right

recollection of the correspondent to

Pa fifty cents for the little thing, but
it got sick. | put a blanket over It,
gave IL ginger, parcgoric and | dunno
what all, then Albert laid it out in the
sun, but it died anyway" Conclud-
ing with, "This raisin' calves amt
