HAD HIS OWN WAY OF DOING
THINGS.

John Thomas Dobbins truly is most
peculiar man.
AS all his neighbors testify as often as
they con.
'Tis true, he's not so very bad, nor
. Yet so very good;
But nobody can count on him al do
ing as others would.
He has a way that's Just his own, and
walk that way he will:
And though you hint a smarter pace,
you'll find him walking stin.
When Farmer Cloddy lost his barn,
and nearly lost his life,
Just at the time the fever held his
baby and his wife,
The neighbors met one afternoon to
say "how bad they felt"
And each expressed his sympathies in
words your heart would melt,
They held IA benefit" at which ian
even ten" was made;
And quite few subscribed the CASH
though some was never paid.
Yet all this time John Thomas kept
himself quite close at home:
He did not state his syinpathies" nor
to the social" come.
But when the farmer hauled some
posts and set them in the ground,
And gathered up such timber as could
readily he found.
And anyone could see just what the
fellow was about
Twas then John Thomas Dobbns

And that's about the way he did when
Widow Brown was like
To be sold out of house and home--her
home down on the pike;
The women said they'd give her work,
the men would move her out,
And some would take her children
who "were very smart and stout" "
They each and all had laid their plans,
and meant them well, no doubt
But Dobbins bought the mortgage and
helped the widow out.
John Thomas sometimes says, says
he, II never take much stock

So II a neighbor tells me what his
trouble is about,
The best know to do is--just wade
in and help him out"
