THEN AND NOW.

THEN AND NOW.
(Subject to retraction later.)
Fair Summers gone for good at last.
She's of the dead and musty past.
No more she'll give us prickly heat,
For Autumn now is in her seat.
Where but few short days ago
We reveled in the afterglow
That fills the earth when sinks the sun
And cools the sweat upon each bun
Now comes dank and bilious chill
A-sneaking DER each vale and hill,
Which says for Winter to prepare
With wristlets and plush underwear.
Where balmy zephyrs waited by,
Now cobwebs swat one in the eye;
Where birdlings sang in rustling trees
Now sobs the lonely Autumn breeze;
Where cooling souls meath bowers did
hide, #
They now do spoon the house inside.
Farewell to Summer, maid of cheer,
The crispy days will soon be here,
Stir up the fire, pile on the coal
Keep warm, if possible, oh, SOUL
Begone, We shivers and We shakes,
And now-please pass yon flannel
cakes.

PoPFiEs.

PIC
A goblet of red on an emerald stem,
With dew on the brim like rare
sparkling gem.
1t raises aloft frail, glittering cup,
While sunbeams draw closer its rich
@ wine to sup. $s
But, bark to the wind shriel1irg
shrill through the corn,
And the poppy lay dead ere new
day is born.
The leaves from it's bosom have fallen
apart,
Disclosing the poisonous black Of its
heart.
The corn weaves silk tassels, the sun
faunts his gold,
While twilight's gray shadows the
poppy enfold.
Our pleasures, like poppies,"' alas,
are soon spread"
And poison oft turks in the cup
cleaning red,
While DER our enchantment, when
signing winds creep,
The scarlet CLEAN dies in the dim halls
of sleep.

When Multiplication is Vexation
The wind is sweet; the little clouds
Are soft against the blue.
What difference does it make to me
That two times one is two!
The woods are reckoning to me
And calling through the door,
It's half an hour till three o'clock
And two times two is four.
The brook is laughing cause we have
To study 'rithmetics.
We might as well be wading there
But two times. three is six.
It's washing down the Dam we built
Last night, but we must wait
Until the teachers sure we know
That two times four is eight.
And so we sit and watch the clock,
And wait and wonder when
The hand will get around to three
And two times five is ten.
