We love thee much, sweet Gabriel.
And trust your good intention;
Bus weary fJlks Oft wish full well
You'd learn little scansion.
OF course it's good - write Ia rhymes
On suitable occasions,
For birthdays, funerals, or times
os special publications..
We rhyme in Joys and rhyme In fears,
And rhyme when sad and penslve;
But rhyme for humdrum news and cares
y somewhat TOO expensive.
He wrecks his verse who tries 70 sing
Of how % run the beacon
OF politics and everything
He can possibly speak on.
Some thoughts won march to melody
Th0'll sprawl and smash tbs m0trc.
rhen why not shcive the poctry2
'TwUuld certainly look naAtar.
We're sorry corn clubs bore you so,
And fall to rouse your laughter,
But, due regards TO Mexico
Us home-brod facts we'rs altar.
so cultivate, good Gabriel,
Your powers OF invention;
And Just as children learn 70 spell,
Learn something, too, Of seanslon.

Why is the sun brighter and hotter
at noon than II h In the morning or
evening?
The sun Is high In the sky at noon
tide and II sends light and heat direct
ly down through the air, and the light
and heat naturally seem greater than
when they come to US slantwise as
they do when the sun Is rising In the
east or sinking In the west.
The more air the suns rays pass
through on their way to the earth the
cooler they are. and as they come al

less air than they do before or after
