TIE THENTY--THlRD LAMENT

Some Wit was evidently think
ing OF his herd at home while he
was attending Church. Possibly
he carried home what he heard and
applied it to the humble beast he
had been using rs herd sire. What
ever may have been the condition
which gave rise TO The Twenty
third Lament it is we'll worth pass
ing on:
A scrub is my herd sire: | know
no better.
He makcth my cows and young
hcifcrs to freShcn.
He leadeth me into deep waters.
He vexeth my soul.
He leadcth me into the depths of
poverty as his dam did.
Yea, though You trace back the
line Of his rcmotcst ancestors.
You will find no producers for
they are all scrubs.
His dam and his hciferS. they
produce not.
lie is ever disgrace to me in
the presence OF my ncigllbors.
lie runneth my bank book into
red; my account is ovcrdrawn.
But The scrub and his offspring
shall not haunt ne all the days OF
my life.
For they shall dwell in the barn
Of my herd no longer.

\ month or two weeks ago. Ed

splrcd TO write a little article for his
home paper about his great riches.
