Mother Drives the Car.

When mother ran her old machine,
And stitched from dawn till dark,
Then all us stuck up children
Were the best dressed in the park;
For mother dear was humble
Childhood blooms but once. she
cried:
And why was | created
Save to find in you my pride7''
Now mother runs the new machine,
The old ones full of dust:
Like orphans, we're un-hobbled,
Un-feathered. and INFUSED.
Come, crank the carl says mother;
Don't wait your lunch for me;
I'm running down through JERSEY.
And can't tell how long I'll be-
Yes. mcther's got us guessing.
From IA right down the line:
She's put some puffs upon her head,
And looks just twenty-nine;
And now she crows triumphant:
4 shall motor near and far;
For the hand that rocked the cradle
Is the hand to drive the car

How Browning Tennyson Kipling, Pope. Whitman and

We hear nothing as ret from Column

his associates may have misgivings

which all OF US, in our adult and high

Which puts to flight my glimpse Of
