A STARTLING DIRGE

part OF the country, about an old lady
going for her first journey by train? She
went in terrible state of apprehension,
and on arriving safely remarked that the
train had been a most murderous one,
since II had run over and killed no fewer
than fourteen persons. Then it came out
that somehow she had picked up the idea,

PICKING APPLES IN VERMONT


Wake up there Boys, no time to dream,
Back out the cart. hitch up the team;
Get all the baskets big and small.
And fetch bag, We'll need 'em all:
And get some salt, We'll salt the sheep,
And make what card folks call a sweep;
The little ladder. fetch that, too,
1t knows the business bettern you;
And now tie on the apple pole
And then the old red wheels can roll"
Behold the happy outfit start.
father. horses, boys and cart:
Yes: Jimmy, you may drive, but see
You don't rip up an apple tree:
league away the orchard lies,
A fallen farm that cannot rise.
But chuckablock with natural fruit
And quite a lot of gratis to boot;
A lovely land for yearllng stock,
Or sheep that love a three-mile walk
Drive in there. Jimmy. cramp your cart,
And set it facing right to start;
Get up there. Dick, and shake tree.
But don't fall onto Mike or me;
Don't shake too hard-about like that
Look up not down-there goes your hat;
There comes the rain in big red drops.
Jest keep 'er up until it stops:
Now back down slow--uon't be too fleet
You haven't got no nuthatch feet"
But fore the boys can really hit
The job, they have to fool bit:
They hunt for yallerhammer holes.
And play game Of apple bowls.
And race around like everything
To find the ancient owners spring
And practice that ballistic trick
OF singing apples on stick:
Without house or barn in sight
The boys would stay all day and night
And now all hands with right good will
Fall on their knees and pick uphill:
The fruit from hand to basket hops
And then inside the cart box drops,
And where the sheep paths overflow
They scoop it up as ducks do dough;
In two short hours the cart is full
And then begins the homeward pull:
It's Jimmy, check up Sam and Bill,
Well start afterwards the cider mill"
Jest halfway home the road turns sharp.
And shows the mill of Sandy Tharp;
They cramp and back and cramp again
And out a-comes the helper men,
The load gets shoveled right straight in
TO Sandy's thousand-bushel bin,
Which done, they start with quicker pace.
And drawing near the homestead place,
II Snum.' says dad, in chest-tones deep,
I'VE plumb forgot to salt the sheep"
