YALLSU BLOSSOM’S BOA'.
fiY W. T. m MAS.
1 ih 6ort ut \ alter Btessom, him what
n«i his Blitter ’lvmn,’
A spiliu’ fur to strap him thar in Monter
«>*]lur town.
1 know #Ou muster beam d" him, fur,
Mess your soul, it took
A great big Judge to write his deals down
in his little book,
I calkcilate that this is why that. I am
called upon,
Tut 'hunt no common thing to be ole Y;il
ler Blossom’s son-.
kh'gln, they fuighter thunk to pass me,
speaking natohrul phrase,
For sum big yaukee writer with cr dier
laotic craze;
But like my pap, when on a trade, I'm
banes’ as tire day,
A'u’ don’t Blind tolling you that I can
speak no yutlier way.
So don’t you laf ef I gs wrong, fur gram
mar don’t urako brains,
Anf don’t forgit thar’s Jasper blood a
streakin' thro’ my Veins.
Tou wouldn’t think maeolicgc bred, now
would yer? but it’s so;
I rubbed my head ergin these bricks er
bout ten years orgo.
Them times was times at twenty, but I’ve
crossed tha bound’ry line.
An’ drap a tear fur ’79,,
An’ wan taf cheer fur ’flO,
An’ shako ban’s with tjie twenties as 1
part with twenty nine.
Yc«, I v. a* here in '79 and mounted, step
by step,
Toll 1 got in a greatbig class, I think they
called it “Prep,”
V.’ho knows how high I miglitorriz ef I’d
been lowed to stay?
But pap come at commencement time an’
tuk his son away,
Ho sold'the millions be had brouglit an’
put mo in the cart,
An’ thought ’cause I warn,t ’lowed to
6JK.’AKj -* Ittah •f-wuejo X t» won' l< m. uH L.
Ho ’lowed, lie did, “I think ver’i! have
yer labor for yer pams;
Y'ou’ve muscles in yer aims an’ logs but
none within yer brains;
Tho edification bes’ fur you an’ many a
sicli a fool.
Is fur to guide a bull tougnoplow ahhid
a lazy mule.”
Bence then poor pap lias passed away, but
I have made my mark.
On hillsido an’ on bottom laud,’ from 6iln
up until dark;
A stiulyiu' agriculclicr tliar in sunshine
an’ in freeze,
An* grafljorntin’ every year with power
ful high degreet;
An’ In my track baa vcrjiir sprung, the
Ian’ scape to adorn—
Thetater vine, Tho.coibrn green, tho yaller
HoWer9 uv oors,
Tim clods havo knocked my culcher off—
’twart very deep, yon know—
But ylt I’m proud «’ them three months
sp«nt here ten years ago.
An’ like a true Columbus, tho’ no noun
1 kin
I kindrsp tears for '70.
1 kin raise cheers for ’80,
An’ shuffle off the twenties as I part with
twenty nine,
Tho ten's been stii kift’hiite me, an I’to
stuck to the lan’,
Fur ciiloher uv tho heart an’ head needs
culcher uv the ban’;
A« lie's the gentles’ gentleman you’ll
meet in msny'a mile,
That tickles on tho brviurt uv earth until
he makes her smile;
lie is tlio gesiun uv tlie hill, tho boss uv
aU tho plain,
The agent for the sunshine house, tlio
broker fur tho raiu;
He strikes erqunintance with the birds
that peeks from leafy nooks,
An’ on his heart is writ the songs uv pri
my donny hooks.
Oh, he’s the lines’ gentleman an’ culcher
cd in the art,
U^tfciowin' natur, not frum books, but
from her boundless heart!
The doodlin’ that ’udlaf at him an’ at bis
list uv horn
Should have liis mouth pried open an’
gagged with a year uv corn,
I’m not a praisin’ uv myself, but praisin’
uy that class
That has so many vartucs fine, so many
faults, alas!
That makes the elo'cs hit revunccs when
on a lamed back,
’Fergittin’ that a kiver lino may Bomc
times hide a quack;
That thinks the parson half inspired, an’
sets in meetin’ time,
A gapin’ in his wonderment, an’ singin’
uvhislrime;
That hoards the jokes the lawyers
crack down at his county town,
An’ takes ’em ter his naborliood an
shakes ter pass ’em ’roun’;
That noun’s his notes uv progress on
some ole joanner horn,
An' lets them western fellers fool erloug
with meat and corn.
Pap was a Solid man. but ef today lie
seed liis sen,
He’d swarhit was tho bes’ days work
that ever he had done,
Kf ho could see him spookin' here, an’
cutt.in’ up a shine,
A -siftin’ tears fur ’70
A-liftin’ cheers fur '80,
An’ shakin’ with the twenties at the
cross in’ of the line.
This In ruin’ frum the twntics, an' this
tollin’ them good bye.
An’ they sic.li jolly rascals, makes a feller
almost cry.
I’ vojiarted with the las’ one; I have shuck
'im by tho liau’.
An’ down tho tig road yonder, they go
skij.pin’ thro’ the sail’.
A-skippin’, an’ a-prankin’, an a-laffln*
Lack at me,
An'forinioi.’ goes '.belittles’ one, an’ furri
est off is lie.
They’re Hingin’ thorns an’ flowers at me,
plucked from t lio hedge an’ park.
Tlio flowers they fa’I beside tlio way; the
thorns they hit tlmirmark,
An’each’ud pizin’like the dart the iu
jun critter throws,
Cut I am healed whene’er I ketch tlio
odor nv the rose.
They’re totin’many a hope away upon
their brawny backs,
An’ fond delusions float erround erbout
the bustin packs,
They're totin’ off the scented notes, {he
notes I useter kiss
Wliea I went sparkin’ uv tlio gals, now
mistis slid o’ miss,
That f unitst chap k rollin’off the bravo
old college boil,
An’ frum its muffled throat it filings a
husky, faint farewell,
The next uu’a hidin.uv a sack, I think
bits branded “oats,”
An* every pocket In bis elo’es is stuffed
with printed votes.
Another’s tariu’ essays up, and wondcrin
-- •'iv Uia wit
Had gone a trapesnr on tifti nay mem
wondrous tilings was writ—
An’ so they go, tlio rascals all, each with
liis little pack,
A laffin’ an’ a totin’ off what nover will
come back;
A grinnin’ an’ a pratin' at me, banished
from their lino.
Mo drappin’ tears fur ’79,
Mo liftin’ cheers fur ’git,
Mo whimperin’ here nil ilingiu’ uv a kiss
at twenty-nine.
Dad-blaine tho twenties! Lot ’em go; ten
shabby dogs they be,
An’ it is me a leavin’ them’ not them a
leavin’ me;
Fur Timo Stan’s dreamin’ by tho road, as
we go scootin’ by,
A-cryin’ out, “Tlio Lawny me, how fast
olo Timo do fly!
Adu’t like their company, so I made
’em face eibout,
Then form'd march, an’ that’s tho way I
“turned the rascals out.”
An’ef theymoutheat me ergin, an’ ef
mock me moro,
I’ll sick the thirties on ’em. and I guess
I’ll down ’em shore,
I’vo seen tlio sophomore once more, tho
senior I have seen;
I’ve seen tlio junior junin’ here, tho fresh
man fresh an’ green;
SO, now, I’ll go back to the hills of Jas
per rough an’ red,
To lie’p the bovs erlong thro’ school by
makin’ meat an’ bread,
Fnr thro’ no genus like these boys, 1’vo
talent fur the clay,
>p' genus, tlio’ she gits the praise, to
talent leaves the pay;
An’ now an’ then I’ll swap a boss an’ rip
, crrouiul and run,
Jest to make folkses rickollect I'm Yal
lor Blossom’s son;
An’ ef the cornin’ years bring good, or cf
they biing me ill,
The mern’ry uv them good ole days will
hang erbout roe still,
Them frisky days at twenty, when my
heart was in the dough,
Them good perfessers, them three rnonts
spent here ten years ergo,
That Latin that I never read, that Greek
still Greek to mo,
Them eyes that would take off their
specks los’ they my faults should
see—
I'll not fergit them things, not I, whil
in iny veins thar biles,
The blood uv Yaller LI wsom.but Jcmem
ber them with smiles,
An’ ef the thirties fling theif rocks »u‘
down ole twenty-nine,
I’ll drop no tear fur *79,
But I will cheer fur
An’shout. “God bless old Emory,” as I
trot crcross the line.
