THE WONDERFUL TREE.

pauline Frances Camp, in Farm and
Fireside.)
A wonderful dream came over the
sea;
A wonderful dream Of wonderful
tree.
A fence was around It; the gate had
a key,
Which was safe in a pocket belonging
There were rosy-cheeked apples, and
plums of deep blue;
There were strawberries, peaches and
oranges, too;
There were cherries, and pears-in-
deed, to be true,
All kinds of sweet fruit on this funny
tree grew
The fruit hung low down and was
easy to reach,
And different lessons were wrapped
up in each.
Geography?-take but the bite OF a
peach,
And you knew all the very best teach
ers could teach.
There were dates that, when eaten,
made history yours
From the time when the Spaniard
discovered our shores;
A plum, ripe and luscious, was useful
because,
When swallowed. you knew all gram
matical laws.
Arithmetic was just as easy as pie,
When big, juicy pear down your
throat had slipped by;
A handful of cherries you had but to
try
To answer all questions beginning
with why"
Now, do you not think twas won
derful tree?
And do you not wish you had been
there with me?
And does 1t not almost unbearable
seem
To think that this wonderful tree was
a dream1
