Little Fellow

Little fellow. do you wonder
Why your daddy sometimes sighs,
Why you sometimes catch him looking
At you out of blurry eyes?
Do you wonder why he takes you
In his arms and hugs you so,
As if you were going to leave him
And he couldn't let you 60?
Little fellow, that's the reason
Soon the big, rough world will say,
"Come and give your baby to me,
have work for him today;
I have need of him this minute,
I've place for him to fill;
Let me have his brain and muscle,
Give to me his strength and skill"
Little fellow, when your daddy
Comes with sadness in his eyes,
And he looks away off yonder
And you hear his bitter sighs,
It's because the ceaseless struggle
Of the day has bruised him so,
And he breads the time approaching
When to that his boy must 60.
Yes, he knows you'll want to leave
him,
And he knows it's right you should,
For the world may justly claim you
When you've passed your babyhood.
But your daddy, little fellow,
Knows the bitterness and woes
Of the big world hat will take you,
And he breads to let you go.

A PRECIOUS MEMORY.

When backward through the years |
look,
Or turn the leaves of memorys book,
There is one scene | love the more,
AS slow but sure the years roll Ger.
'Tis but a grove, a wooded dell,
Where feathered songsters love to
dwell;
Where evenings sun with rays most
fair
Lights up a scene of beauty rare,
There, meath the spread of one great
elm,
The monarch of that princely realm,
A tiny mound of earth still stands,
Uncared for now by loving hands.
No princely form there finds repose
And shelter from life's cares and
woes;
A thousand times more precious still
The one God chose that spot to fill
And in the thoughts that mem,ry
brings,
Or on the crest OF sleeps soft wings,
My heart is waited to that DEL
Where sleeps the mother | loved Well
