THE SPARROW.

See that little sparrow bird
Eatin' all day long.
No one ever yet has heard
Him attempt n song.
Never tries q skyward flight,
Selhshness complete
Tempts him now and then to night,
Though he'd rather eat.
Robin swingin' in the tree.
Hop toad by the spring.
Nearly everything you see
Stops awhile to sing.
'Cept that bird who seems to flnd
A supreme delight
Leavin' every care behind,
But his appetite.
Better live a butterfly
For little time.
Or an owl that hoots on high
Melancholy rhyme,
Than a grim. ungenerous elf.
By no motive stirred.
Save to benefit himself.
Like the sparrow bird.

rHE LAZY MAN.

He tried 80 hard to stay awake
His efforts were in vain;
A little nap he still would take
And soon would doze again.
His yawns enormous were to see.
His languor was intense,
That poor chap lacked the energy
To sit upon a fence.
His balance there he could not keep.
Without some effort made.
So stretched him where the grass was
deep
And slumbered In the shade.
