What Robin Red Has to Talk About This Morning. I THE BACK YARD FOR A SLB.IECT. What Memory’s Bells Recall—Toueli ing and Realistic Reminiscences of the Past—A Description That Is j (True to the Life—The “Oudacious Chillun” and the Pickaninnies. That prolific, though vicarious source of chestnuts, the oik tree, has been writ i ten about and talked ab >ut, and praised in all ages. The gentle purling brook has figured so extensively in poetry a (id prose, that it seems that in ju-tico to it, or kindness to the long buffering reader it should he allowed an interval of silence. In the animal world the lamb has always stood forth, a white flrecy tar get at which to shoot, shallow platitudes. How many writers have dragged into their puny, sickly stores, the front porch, and made it the back ground of their most thrilling love scenes! But who has ever yet gone to the rear cf the edifice for a theme? Who will join me : n a protestation, call ing a truce to the perpetual delineation of these old familiar bearings, and enter a plea for one dear, though perhaps, neglected spo* in history. Memory’s bells are ringing with the clear decisive tone of childhood's in nocence and mirth, though long muffled by the stern realities and duties of after life. They recall a place most dear, and o’er their melody floats a vision of childhood’s happy houbs, a homely, though not an unattractive spot, the arena of all our sports. “ I'be back yard!” When night yet with morning lingers, and the first, grey streaks of dawn drown themst lve< in the red and gold of east ern skies; when drowsy little beads tuck themselves into the downy pillow for one last swe«“t nap; when little chicks are up and scratching for their living, and little darkies, too, are up, spyingout the laud tis then that dusky “Dinah’’ comes with a whoop, and comes with a call, and, flingins aside the nursery doors, says: > “Git up! git up! you lazy little chillun an’ go out in de yard ter play.” Ob, “you lazy little chillun,” will you ever bo so happy again as when y)>u played in the back yard? What mim,* ions so enthusiastic and guileless $ te. 1 ittle uegro.j|B who qyaited you |hy whose shiny eyes and dazz 1 ing teet beamed upon you a hearty greeting? Who could tell or find out so much niws in the early morning light? How they cou d shock, th: ill or console with some thing like the following: “Yer bin d‘inkin’ water often de ole yaller cat, kase Uuck ' r orm jes hauled him outen de well dis mawnin’.” “Whar yei big doll? Didu’t yer lef hit out in de raiu las’ night? I done foun’ hit all drownded and melted; spec we have a big funeral terday.” “De speckle hen got a nest wid ten aigs under de barn.” “Ne’er mind, honey, I’m gwine ter git yer somethin’ nice. I know whar dey is some apples turnin’ red.” When the breakfast bad been served and the dishes cleared away; when the sun was creeping up into the noonday sky, throwing long shadows over THE SANDY BACK YARD, and the aristocratic “Rover” and the plebian “Tige” were dozing on the steps, there still resounds upon the palpitant air the musical hum of childish vo M joined in their merry glee by a crown ui little ones from the neighbors over the way. Can you not see them? All that is white and pure and innocent enters into that picture; all the aroma, expectancy, and hope of youth is there, untrammelled by a thought of the great unpathed be yond. Only the peach tree, with its dread ful switches, stands a warning to the complete, and prodigal indu'geoce of youthful desires and impulses. There stands also the gnarled apple tree, glori ous always, whether clothed in pink and white, or challenging the daring with it lucious, ruddy fruit. Rampant on the garden fence the “morning-glory’' trails, while near by the scraggy “monthly” rose shakes it’s petals down. Beautiful, clean, white chips scattered o'er the ground, sometimes turn to fleets of white vessels, and are made to sail o’er magical seas of dirt. There isthebuge black pot in which peas are boiled for the cow. There the long rows of milk pans which sometimes turn to bass drums and herald the ap proach of A TERRIBLE CIVIL WAR, and black and white are marsh Hied in terrible array. The wood pile becomes a mighty fort of defense. The wheel bar row is alternately the caisson for the cannon and the ambulance for the wounded. “Tige” or “Rover” are coo-1 scripted, and as honestd >gs should, enter the fray withja’belligerent, spirited mein. When peace has beau declared a big ring is drawn on the clean, hard ground, slivers pockets are turned wrong side out to disgorge marbles of all sizes.and coins, from the costly 10 cent “agate” to the large glass “taw,” whose crystal center is cleared by a special twist of red and white and pink. How wonderful its con struction, how fortunate its possessor, how the sight of it causes a longing for some of that red and white “peppermint . candy,” which it so closely lesemblee. By the strange subtlety of the transmis sion of human desire, up wa ks dusky itiah! Her eyes sbino like black dia- I tnonds and her broad smile betokens peace I and prosperity, for in her hands she bears a plate of molasses candy, flavored with orange p-el. The game of marbles is forgotten! Don’t y>u wish that y>u were a little child today, sitting with that eager happy crowd on top of the wood pile, eating great CHUNKS OF MOLASSES CANDY, unhampered by any rule of etiquette as you painted cheek, mouth and chin with a thick coating of molten sweets? Saturday afternoons are all over the world, but none to compare to the Satur day afternoons in the back yard. “Rover” and “Tige” are sitting upstiff and straight aa dignified, respectable dogs should, the al.-rt expression of their faces tells that something is going on, and a good deal is going on. Dinah and her biack descendants are sweeping the , yard, and blowing up great clouds of dead leaves and yellow sand, “cleanin’ up fur Sunday.” Old Aunt Rachel is parching coffee, boiling ham and baking light bread, and through the kitchen window the mingled odor of old government Java and the , 'resbly baked bread is borne upon the air. This is not all that Aunt Rachel is doing. There is the sound of eggs being beaten; the “bottles of flaverin ’’are out and everything points to the speedy manufacture of tea cakes. By and by the smell of th) b owning cakes is also drifted out into the yard, and the youthful hunger ca» stand it no longer, AND BLACK AND WHITE r ish pel) mell inti the kitchen. Aunt Rachel scolds and threatens, but she gives her cakes away just the same. The pea, h tree switches are vibrating | i 1 the evening air, and Dinah is vaguely hinting as to the speedy necessity of their being placed in the hands of the “mistis ” But in spite of it all there comes another wave of that delicious fragrance through the kitchen window, and black and white again charge into the kitchen. The whites forcibly overcoming Aunt Rach el’s scruples, and generously dividing with the blacks, while “Rover” and "Tige,” forgotten in the melee remiiu mute images of despair. Aunt Rachel afterwards says: “Mistis, dars de ham au’ coffee an’ bread—but dem outdacious chillun never lef nair single tea cake!” THE DAYS OF THE PAST. Oh! Time, as thou dost hasten us all inevitably down the steep incline of life’s rugged plane; as thou givesta little here, 1 >m'e what tjjeri-: as thou dost pencil the face with linw of care, and sprinkle the locks with gray; as the out lines of the past grow dim like distant hills enwrapt, grant that memory’s bells may ever chime the notes of that blest and musical existence, the happy time of childhood, when all nature was our storehouse and all heaven our canopy.
