persuade a mutual friend to present
oh ha
difficult thing to maneuver. a. That
would depend. Do you feel you were to
blame for the small incident?" II so
you could gracefully acknowledge be-

Lane" as reader remembers it. and |
one you wish.
LITTLE OLD LOG CABIN IN THE
LANE
I'm getting old and feeble, cannot |
work no more;
have laid the rusty bladed hoe to rest.
Old Massa and old Missus am sleeping
side by SIDE
And their spirits are now roaming with
the blest.
Things have changed about the place,
the darkies are all gone,
And l cannot hear them singing in the
cane;
And the only friend that's left me is
this liisle dog of mine
In the little old log cabin in the lane
Those were happy times to me, not
many years ago,
When the darkies used to gather round
the door.
They used to sing and dance at night
and play the old banjo,
But, alas. they cannot do it any more,
The hinges are all rusty and the door
is tumbling down.
And the roof let's in the sunshine and
the rain;
)h. the only friend that's left me is
that little dog of mine,
n the little old log cabin in the lane.
Oh, daddy, don't you be SO sad and mel
ancholy now,
FOR there's many other happy days In
store;
you're old and feeble, your
boy is young and strong,
md Will love and cherish you forever ,
more,
II try to do the best I can to make
you happy now, :
II comfort and protect you from all
pain,
md the angels they will bless US In
our happy little home,
n our little old log cabin in the lane.
J, child. i am contented, but the day
must quickly come,
When I'll have to leave this earth for ;
ever more,
he angels they will take me from my
humble little home,
nd watt me to that bright celestial :
shore. =
h, don't despair. but come what may =
you will be happy yet;
: from sorrow and bad feeling you :
refrain;
or the angels they will bless us in our :,
happy little home. -
1 our little old log cabin in the lane. O
