THE LITTLE STREET MINSTREL.


His hands are soiled. his throat Is bare
His face Is streaked with dirt and thin
And many a slip is in the air
He plays upon his violin;
A sadness dwells within his eyes,
The shoes are ragged on his feet.
And scoffers stop to crticse
The little minstrel In the street.
There by the curb he plays away
Where flakes float past and winds blow
chill.
And maybe as the critics say,
He lacks the tutored artists skill
But now and then a little strain
Played faultlesssly and soft and sweet
Floats up from where he stands out
there
The little minstrel in the street.
Say, ragged little minstrel why
Must people listen but to hear
The false note. ever passing by
The strain that rises soft and clear
Oh It were well with us If we
Might in our own ways sound tho swee,
And faultless notes as oft as he

THE WHITE ELEPHANT.

Burlington had an elephant,
It's skin was W hite as snow:
And every place suEg,,ted
The beast declined to go.
They took it to the Edmunds site
But after looking round
The animal thought better spot
Could easily be done.
They took it t. the Weller place,
And the Fletcher library.
Put there, it only trumpetcd
And acted quite contrary.
Some said to try the circus fround,
From there it would not roam,
Ar elephant on a circus ground,
Would surely feel at home.
But not spot could there be found,
Where he was satisfied
And though they thought him dearl,
bought,
They wished that he had died.
The city fathers then resolved
TO make the "Critter" hump,
So they took him to the market lot,
And dumped him In the dump.
