THE HOME TOWN PAPER.

How the heart grows soft and tender
while its columns you're perusing,
Every item is familiar, every name
you know full well.
And a food of recollection passes o'el
you while you're musing
On the past, and weaves about You an
imaginative spell
You can see the old home village
once again in fancy, seeming
To be clasping hand with neighboI
and of friend and relative;
And their faces rise before you a.
you're idly fondly dreaming
Der the little country paper printed
where you used to live.
