1t is barely possible, too, that actions
which seem now to have been due to err.

Granting that it is possible to rectify

the imperative duty of the nations in

Fourth Of July in Vermont.

When July Fourth was getting near
A felIer's days was filled with fear;
The Sunday school would have q ride,
They said, and then 'twould be denied
A rumored in.climbing trip
Was nothing but a lot Of lip;
But when the preacher, Mr., circuit,
A-fore the sermon give 1t out
There'd be q picnic 'Pendencc Day
We boys felt better right away
We knew twould be in Walkers woods
Acrost the brook from Su1ey Goodies
She didn't mind, she used 20 say,
How much they hee-marked Walkers
hay;
But there was lots and lots 10 do
To put the preparations through;
The Grange settees would have to 90
To give the choir a decent show;
The organ, too, or Inez Spring,
Our offkey alto, wouldn't sing.
And first, scout would go and look
To see If teams could ford the brook,
And then gang to NOW the brakes
And cut the brush and kill the snaix;
The table squad took five or more,
The teeter force from two to four;
Another crew to rig the swings
And fetch the drinking water things,
And, last of all, special band
To build or buy a speakers stand
Meantime, the ladies met to see
A-what the eating plan should be;
Should famblys have family lunch,
Or should the allies feed the bunch;
If pinkish lemnoade was sold
The traffic sure, must be controlled
And then the speakers-Col. Jay,
Who came to town to play croquet,
Should he be asked, the rich old thing
Or should she choir jest sing and sing
The ladies also made it plain
The sugarhouse, in case Of rain,
Would be the only place TO 'seape
And ought to be a-put in shape;
Now comes the picnie-hear the fife,
And see the flags all full Of life!
But I'm as tired as | can be
Agetting up this picnic, Gee!
It's took so long I'll stop right here
And tell the rest another year.
