the record Of SOlen M. FRIES, from Inc
adjoining county, who was present at
the festivities.
Backward, turn backward, Time, will
Let as have weather once more that Is
hot,
Winds from the south that will seorch
as they pass.
Heat from the sun that is good for the
grass.
/ am so weary of ice and of frost.
Weary of hearing of fruit that is lost.
Weary Of having cold fingers and feet
Turn on the heat. mister. turn on the
heat,
Tired Of hearing the wind from the
north
In the sad night watches believing

Weary of watching the desolate scene,
Leaves turning black when they ought
to be green.

O for the sunlight to gladden. the eartn;
This is cold snap that cannot be beat

enough
To make them grow, although he may he
rough
lie is the stuff
Who tolls today with inattock and with
spade
To build a future bower Of Eden shade,
That lovers by and by may sit at ease.
Or stroll beneath wilderness of trees

Who lies today upon his downy coucn
Or loafs about with an Internal crouch;
Who doesn't do thing to help create
The things that are to bless this prairie
state
He IS skate.
Go, plant tree and after that is done
Then buckle in and plant another one;
And when their leaves by summer WlndS
are stirred
On every hand Of you this will be heard

Clay MePiEe is to have any place among
the distinguished counsel for the de-

of Harry Thaw As he has goried in
the victories of Delmas in other days
so now must he share the humiliation
attending his recent defeat and ignomin-
ious dismissal from the case.
Heaven help him when the foe han
strike,
With Delmas absent and McPike
OF not sufficient consequence
To have hand in Tslaw's defense.

That needs no mention in this song,

And he should fall and die, I'd hike
Away and find this man McPike
And he when found per consequence,
Should be my shield and my defense.
His voice and his alone should be

Back to December to judge by the snow
We beg you, dear colonel, to stick t

But somehow or other YOU pulled th'
