Why Women Never Age.
The women. God bless them!
They're never at rest;
All! resting brings rust
To corrOde and molest.
They're. always caressing, or pressing, o.
dressing,
Pursuing their sewing or doing
Their best.
The women. good cheer to
Their restless delight!
They shop all the day
And they dance all the night.
They always are tripping, or shipping, o.
clipping.
Pursuing their fading and gadding.
But bright. ..
The women. God keep them!
They're truer than gold:
They're warm in the winter,
In summer they're cold.
And that Is the reason. and 1t isn't trea-
son.
To say why they never, ah! never
Grow old.

Showers did not materially inter

the main shows some slight improve

counties, where the crop has not yet
reached the stage where weather will
not affect it. Shedding and rust are
reported in localities, and as rule
the bottom crop, where not properly
cultivated, has deteriorated from rot

small and excessive moisture in the
ground has caused shedding of the
