LAUGH AND R o FAT.

The poets of the present day
Express. with their regret,
That themes for making poetry
Are now so hard to get.
These pleasant rural pictures
Which for years employed the pen
OF poets, have been crowded out,
They ne'er will come again.
The weary ploughman never more
Shall plod his weary way,
But ride a sulky-like affair,
He's a jocky, trim and gay.
The sower scattering the seeds
A'held, no more is seen
For that, like all our other work,
is done by n machine.
4 The scythe, the mower usedto swing
is rusting in the shed,
A hired man whacks at the mules
That do the work instead.
The merry Graders in the wheat
We can no more discern
The job they had was yielded
To a patent right concern.
Since nearly every human task
Is done by steam or horse,
Toll (as a poets theme) has grown.
Too practical, OF course.
Where'er we turn in languor,
Naught but mechanism seen
And eve poetry like this
[Softlyl els made by a machine. -:

fondled it:

is made out of milk. Thus the cow
