A PICTURE.


'Tis but small paper thing;
But to one twas made to bring
Comfort, happiness and joy,
AS to n child n new toy.
Some may think 1t is worthless;
To others it is carthless:
Valued so that money cannot buy.
But to one tits valued high.
But why is It valued so?
IT'S but n secret that l only know.
Maybe because it was dear friend,
Who was thought of often.
But whatever 1t may have been.
Let IL stay then;
Always with me
AS IL is OF thee.

made a guess. The owner turned to
the rest of the company. and said:

guess? Just for the fun Of It. let
everybody have a try"
The proposal met with favor. One
after another the men eyed the pig
critically, and after due considera-
ton, gave their estimates OF his
weight The schoolmaster. who
