THE LAND OF THE SNOW.

American. Ellsworth. Me.
THE LAND OF THE SNOW.
You may talk of the lands where sum-
mer is king
And balmy and soft breezes blow;
For me and my pleasure my heart cries
aloud,
OH give me the land of the snow. o..
You may speak of a cline where the
orange-tree blooms,
And mangoes and pineapples grow;
But for health and for happiness all
the day long,
Oh! give me the land of the snow
The falling of snowfakes so chaste
and so pure,
Are beautiful, as we all know;
They come to remind us of heavens
pure life;
oh! give us the land of the snow.
In tropical lands there are insects
galore,
That fill all the night with woe;
To fully avoid all their bites and their
stings,
Oh! give us the land of the snow.
.
In the lands of the north, where the
cold winds blow.
And the rivers sometimes cease to
flow
1t is there that we find the great men
of the world
Oh! give us the land of the snow
Shall to the SOntb a
deep snow?
I answer with emphasis, never,
no, no!
Cold air is the very best tonic we
know.
Let us all give three cheers for the
land of the snow.

to tell you about them, as some other

that we were invited in honor of the
birthday Of one of the guests. Each

we spent a delightful afternoon to-

more birthday parties, so on February

Dear Aunt Madge:

convince the people of Hancock county
that within a days journey from ELS

overstocked with the like, I will re-

Massachusetts seasons are generally
conceded to be about two weeks earlier
than Maine, so who knows what may
have happened by the time this is
printed and read Last fall a little
three year-old girl from Cubt saw
snow for the first time. She got a dish
