There are two kinds, broncho and

THE OLD APPLE ORCHARD.

The old apple orchard. the lovely old or
chard,
oh. who can forget its wide spreading
trees,
Its blossoms in springtime, its rudy
checked apples.
Its grasses. Its robins. its bluebirds and
bees?
How cool was the shade as ] lay in its
shadows
How sweet the peIfumel Its vistas-how
fart
ihe birds In the bowers all singing swe&
carols,
What harmony reigned. what freedom
from care!
The squirrels gayly played in the boughs
right above me,
The orioles flashed from tree unto tree,
The thrushes were warbling from Dough
and from fence row.
And everywhere sounded the hum OF the
bee.
How often l climbed to pluck the red ap
PIES
The mellow ones up in the top of the
tree!
How often l unused with my head 'gainst
a tree trunk
And wondered what fruit life would bear
for mel
And as looked round on that fruitful old
orchard
The blossoms said "Hope!" and the
breeze said to me,
"Grow up straight and grand like this
lovely old orchard
And thou shalt bear fruit and all shall
praise thee"
