proachlhS correct Dutch. however, for the most
part ne had To imprOviSe remarks. and then
the interpreter had the greatest trouble 10 catch
the accurate French meaning of the words on
the spur or the moment. In fact, he was at

Its only my Fourth good Dame July,
To the wondering Neighbors that hurried
With motherly pride explained;
'He is just little bit noisy and wild,
I must confess; but the dearest child!
My others are all of them gentle and mild
But children differ-its always So
And boys will be boys, of course, you
know"
And down on her motherly knees she went
And helped him to fire off his gun, content
Though her fingers were burned and her
apron rent,
And her ribbons all spotted and stained
It was early dawn when his fun began;
From garnet to cellar he romped and ran
Through the neat little, sweet little house
He strewed the parlor with tangle of toys,
The walls reechoed with riot and noise !;
He broke her china and rumpled her hair
And wore all her pretty new carpets bare;
And the sun went down, and the stars
came out
To see what the racket was all about;
And at twelve O. the clock with a final
shout
He frightened the midnight mouse.

And she looked at the clock with heart
felt sigh,
AS she righted her cap with care.
Il hope he has had a good time the dear,
And-will stay asleep for at least a year!
The sweetest children sometimes, find,
Are {. trifle wearing to the body and mind,
For boys will be boys, and I'm rather glad
