Factory life will not hurt you if

4 Little %PeachorinO.
CHARLES R. PORTER,

She's a little peacherino,
A standing on the stage
A singing a song, Philepino,
And she's all the rage,
Her eyes are shining like the
skies,
Her cheeks are red as the rose
And her beauty makes us rise
And stand upon our toes
So we can get a better view
Of the little beauty too.
She's a little peacherino.
And she's dressed pretty fine
AS She plays the concertino,
For singing is divine
And her music is a melody
That lAirly thrills our hearts
As her notes rise and swell away
In sweeter music's fairest darts
And her eyes are shining bright
AS the twinkling stars of night.
She's a little peacherino,
We can hear angels voices rise
And dive like a submarine, O!
AS she sings and plays her song
Like an angel of the skies
And the finer notes pass along
Trembling on the wings of
To some fairy scene of delight
Where all is Joy and all is love
And she's as pretty as the stars
of night,
She's a little peacherino,
And a lovely girl unsurpassed,
A perfect dear as far as we know
And we wish her song to for
eve last.
AS she stops and bows her dainty
head.
To all who are intranced by her
magic spell
And now her fame has surely
spread
For she sings her song so very
we'll
And her lovely eyes are still as
bright
AS the shining stars of night.

the Rowan farmers, who are
endeavoring to make sub

have selected a breed that
will meet their fullest expec~
tatlons. Just what breed is
best adopted to this section
has not been ascertained,
however, those interested in
this association are getting
in a fair way to soon have
all the information necps~

trict is expected by early
spring.
