HAPPY DAYS OF BOYHOOD.
VIE following funny little COM

.THE following funny little COM
plant of the Joys" of a country
youth was found by Uncle Jack
in the Philadelphia Telegraph. He
thought you would like to read it, also,
so here it is reprinted for your benefit:
I'D like to be a boy again, without a
woe or care, with freckles scattered on
my face and hayseed in my hair. I'd
like to rise at 4 o'clock and do a hum
bred chores, saw the wood and feed the
hogs and lock the stable doors; and
herd the hens and watch the bees ana
take the mule to drink, and teach the
turkeys how to swim, SO that they
wouldn't sink; and milk about a hun
dred cows and bring the wood TO burn.
and stand out in the sun all day and
churn and churn and churn; and wear
my brothers cast-off clothes and walk
four miles to school, and get a licking
every day for breaking some old rule,
and then get home again at night n
do the chores some more, and milk the
COWS and feed the hogs and curry
mules galore, and then crawl YEARLY
upstairs to seek my little bed, and hear
dIl say: That worthless boy. He
isn't worth his bread!' I'd lik to be a
boy again-a boy has so much fun,
His life is just a round of mirth from
rise to set of sun. / guess there's moth
ing pleasanter than closing stable doors
ana herding hens and chasing bees and
doing evening chores"
