Sycamore Hill.
OF August It may first be said, its
name is from Augustus, whom men
have likened unto Ted, perhaps with
out injustice. He made the world &c
round about as many times minute
and the news was always dull with
out the great Augustus in it.
He had his Ananias club for liars
and for takers and he loved to sail
; his little tub among the Roman
breakers. He counted peace sort
of plague, and never did pursue it,
but let it rally at The Hague, and
you couldn't beat him to it.
He preached about the same old
things that Teddy has been preaching,
and most of Rome's awakenlngs re-
suited from his teaching. He bat
tied holly for the right, and valiantly
imbued it, and the stork could not
attempt to light but what he up and
shooed it.
There was, however. one affair, to
tell which is to tattle, and that was
where this Roman bear was coming
in from battle. He had, of course,
put about everything opposing him to
slumber, and Rome awaited him to
sing some laudatory number.
But here the parallel desists. Au-
gustus said them No. sir! and when
he entered with his lists it might have
been the grocer for all the greeting
that he got from that admiring chorus

The dog days will resume again,
And the man who voted water
With the weather down to eight OF

Below will grow the hotter,
With wishing that he had foreseen
The season hot and stewing,
And nothing but a choice between
Pink lemonade and blueinig.

up and down the wind swept street

arrayed for what you want to fool

There is time for everything, to la.
Dor and to potter, and one to sit way

At any rate the world will spin
With very small pretension,
And the fall elections will begin

The next few weeks will fire the gun
Repeatedly and oftly,
And lot of folks begin to run
For office very softly.
