ne Mr.. George AIDE, instead of Mr. John
Greenleaf Whittier, had written Maud
Muller.o
Maud Muller on summers day,
Sighed: I'm Built Like a Bale OF Hay.
IT am composed of Hips and Chins
Until | seem a Pair OF Twins"
All summer. then. she worked away
Juss like a Farm Hand every day,
Until she looked both Trim and Sweet
And Yearned for something Good to Eat
Upon the Lawn, in gentle Guise,
Maud Muller took her Exercise.
The Judge came riding down the Road
And noted how we'll Maudie showed.
He asked II he might have a Drink
And seemed to be About to Wink.
She got the Sugar and the Mint
And the Glad Nose Paint did not Stint.
She mixed the Judge a Julip Slug
That hit him like Kissing Bug.
The Judge attempted to get Gay
But Maudie told him: ION your Way.
II am a Simple Country Girl.
But this Is an Imported Curl
Likewise the Bloom upon my Cheek
Is Massaged in just Twice a Week.
II may stay with the Folks at Hum
But, Jedge. I guess I've Travelled Some
The Judge rode slowly back to Town
And there called on Samantha Brown.
The Julep still was Up his Nose,
And what did he Do but Propose.
Maud Muller wed Farmer Lad
Who had a Plutocrat for Dad.
Sometimes Maud thinks about the Judge
And smiles about the Good Old Bulge
She gave him on that Summer Day
When he came Riding down the Way.
The Judge betimes will often think
About the Awful Curse OF Drink
Maud knows that when she seeks divorce
The Judge will be For Her, of course
MORAL:
though Cupid says that You are II
you cannot Tell from Where You Sit.

salad up pretty well, but If dressed
too long It is bound to grow wilted

or the Family2

First, says the lecturer. our fore
fathers assembled to their domiciles by
means OF the tree trunks, next they
progressed to dwellings built upon
the ground, and naturally invented a
rude ladder by which to mount to the
upper floors; they then developed the
stairways, and from that by easy
stages came the elevator. Therefore,
We may say, the tree trunk is the
father of the elevator"
And" asked the bright scholar In
rear seat, after that may we reason
that the stepladder is the stepfather?"
