mestic song as follows:
1--WE have read OF Maude ON a sum-
mer day, who raked barefooted, the
new mown hay. We have read OF the
maid in the early morn who milked
the COW with the crumpled horn; and
we've read the lays that poets sing Of
rustling corn, OF flowers and spring;
but Of all the lays Of tongue or pen,
there's naught like the lay Of the hem
Long, long before Maude rakes the
hen has begun to lay, and ere the
milkmsid has stirred a leg, the hen'is
up and dropped her egg. The corn
must rustic and flowers spring to
hold their own with the bsrnyard
ring. II Maude needs q hat or wants
. gown, she doesn't hustle her hay te
town; she goes to the store and OBJ
tsins her suit with q basket full o.
fresh hen-fruit; if the milkmsid'.
beau makes Sunday call, she doesn'l
feed him on milk at all, but works
eggs up in custard pie and stuffs him
foil with chicken fry, and when the
old man wants q horn does he take
the druggist q load Of corni Not much
He simply robs q nest and to town hi
goes-you know the rest. He Fingers
there and talks perchance of true re-
form and correct feenance, but while
his vile stays at home and scowls
and is kept from want by thess self
same fowls; tor while her husban
fingers there she watches the cackline

ing barnyard fowl; wheat may be king
but it's plain to be seen, the barnyard
