Though with a husband she was blessed
Who should have been a prize,
•Ho was, the lady rather guessed,
A blessing In disguise.
STRAW HAT.
Thought you hod lost the hay?
Well, say,
If you’ll just take
A day off I'll convince you of the mistake.
For a thin* that has nine lives
And thrives
Where some people would be
Dead, see me.
Ond dash of spring x
Can bring
Me parading down the pike
To see what the weather Is like.
You wifi find your old friend the first
straw hat
At tbe bat
Dolno>lts little Bong and dance
The first chance
Opening the weather happens to offer.
I am a rank scoffer
At the croakers who Bing
Of a late spring
And somehow fear
That we will have frost every ntonth In
the year.
I am tho prophqft of fair weather.
I say: “All togc^ier now.
Everybody pull for spring,
And we will have the cute young thing
For a steady boarder,
With regular, made to order
Weather." That la my plan,
Dear Mary Ann.
The through freight
May be late,
Tho telegram that you expeot
May not connect,
Nations may rise, flourish like a tall
Sycamore and then step on a banana peol
and fall;
The million dollars to which you expeot
to fall heir
May not be there
When you back up your wagon to haul It
away,
The cows may not come home at the close
of the day,
But the little old last year's straw hat
Stands pat,
. The cheerful prophet of spring,
By ling!
The Consequence.

Tho praises of any one who could bring
Proofs that ho was the cause
Of the absence of thaws.

To have a pleasant, mlla

Rejoice.
