The butterflies. TIE birds. the bees,
Nor hears the music of the breeze
When :cDhyrs soft are blowing;
Who cannot in sweet comfort lie
Where clover blooms are thick and

And hear the gentle murmur nigh
OF broolklets softly flowing.

Who never sees the forests glow
When leaves are red and yellow;
Whose childish feet can never stray!
For such har!ess boy / say
When nature does her charms display
God help the little fellow!

Why Corn Pops.

When the grains of maize or In

burst with pop and turn inside

evaporation of the oil contained IN

not pop 30 readily because the outer
portion of the kernel is more porous
and thus permits the escape OF the
