Of the fun they '11 have no one could tell,
And they'll talk of Jack, they like so well;
Of the candy he helped to make,
And of the Christmas interest he did take.
Of the fun they '11 have no one could tell,

Our cellars we '11 pack,
The stock we '11 feed from the hay stack.
When the clover seed is in our barns
Perhaps we '11 have time to listen to some yarn:
The buckwheat we '11 thresh with a rlail ;
Our coats we '11 hang on some nail.
Our bins we '11 make a little wider,
And into barrels we '11 put our apple cider.
The forests laden with crimson and gold,
Autumn's richest colors to unfold.
The sunset mellow, with its blue and gray.
And many autumn scenes we wish would stay.
My Baby
God has plucked my floweret gay ;
He has gathered many on the way.
The dear blue eyes always smiled ;
He was my baby, yes, my child.
God has plucked my choicest flower,
And many others, by the hour.
Then, when with the angels he smiled.
He was my baby, yes, my child.
With tears, I, his mother.
In a distant home without friend or brother,
But now, thank God, I have smiled,
Because he was my baby, yes, my child.

Lambs of the Fold
Sitting in the shade of the old apple-tree,
In the old rocking-chair,
Gazing o'er the beautiful country
And drinking its sweet balmy air.
The rlock of sheep grazed away,
Just beside the field of new-mown hay ;
The mother sheep would seem to say:
My dear little lambs, away you must not straw
For fear of some enemy, a wolf at your heel,
Make you think he's a friend; to him appeal.
Like Satan, he will follow by the hour.
That you, at last, he may devour.
Little children, like lambs of the fold,
To your parents listen, and do as you are told,
For you may fall into some sin or snare ;
Let little children listen, and beware.
A Daily Prayer
Without a shadow of a doubt each day,
Oh God, teach me how to pray,
And may our asking be of such
That Thou wilt bless us, bless us much

If our stay be long or short,
May we for a moment doubt Thee not,
And our love to Thee we give,
At last, take us with Thee to live.
When our work is here all o'er,
Take us to our friends on the other shore.
May God help us to live our best
That our lives may be a test.
May we our crosses bear with grace,
Everywhere and in every place.
And Thy presence in us abide
That from others we cannot hide.
A Nutting Party
A nutting party with Jim and Grace,
The team was gay and traveled at a good pace
We wished to get home while it was light,
For our pastor was to be installed that night.
In our party there were thirteen.
We counted the children in between.
Mr. Woodcock climbed the trees,
And the rest of us were busv as bees.

For fear some farmer we might run against.

And our baskets were almost empty.
The nuts we did not steal.
But brought them home to peal.

Of good home-made bread, pies and cake.

Where we boiled and drank our coffee.

Near the place we hitched our team.

While Lulu scraped the butter from the cup.

Over them the little folks were so tickled.
And who was with us there but Aunt Rene !
We all love her ; she could n't be mean.

And drank out of her bright new tin.
Samuel sat on the front seat,
And was anxious to know when the horses would eat.
Little Robert lost his cap
Just before he took his nap.
And Edwin slept on his mother's knee
And was just as good as he could be.

For he was in a hurry to get to town.
Then we were ready to return ;

And came home by another way.
We made a good calculation.

Standing on the beautiful Allegheny hills.
Watching the glorious sunset and the old mills.
How silently and calmly the river's flow,
And its hills, bright with the autumn glow.

And think how on its bosom 1 used to ride.

Would rival the lion in its cage;
When its banks would overflow,

But some of our neighbors their ax would swing.
We can go out and dry our hair,

When we plant the peach and the grape,
We '11 have a screen and no one can gape.

The Dream
The dream of my life, the dream of my life
Was to have just a little while
Without sorrow or strife.
Oh! it may seem cruel to say,
But it has been dark most of the way.
The dream of years, the dream of years
Was to have just a little while
Without sorrow and fears.
It may seem sad to say,
But many and hitter have been the tears.
The dream of the morrow, the dream of the morrow
Was to have a little while
Without tears or sorrow.
The dark cloud has passed out of my life,
In blessedness I 'm living without strife.
God help me to always live as I do,
Not one day, dear Father, without you.
And if by chance
This you may read,
May you enjoy blessings as I am indeed.

Girls and Boys
To the girls and boys --
There is a time for work and a time for toys.
Have a purpose in view,
It matters not how old or how new ;
And with all your power
Work and not worry every day and hour.
Never a battle was won in sleep.
Earnestly every promise keep,
And if God's help you ask
You can master the hardest task.
And say at last, like McKinley, our martyred one,
Thy will, not mine, be done.

We will store some away,
Where they will ripen each day.

The Dream
The dream of my life, the dream of my life
Was to have just a little while
Without sorrow or strife.
Oh! it may seem cruel to say,
But it has been dark most of the way.
The dream of years, the dream of years
Was to have just a little while
Without sorrow and fears.
It may seem sad to say,
But many and hitter have been the tears.
The dream of the morrow, the dream of the morrow
Was to have a little while
Without tears or sorrow.
The dark cloud has passed out of my life,
In blessedness I 'm living without strife.
God help me to always live as I do,
Not one day, dear Father, without you.
And if by chance
This you may read,
May you enjoy blessings as I am indeed.

? 64 Children's Rhymes and Verses
Girls and Boys
To the girls and boys --
There is a time for work and a time for toys.
Have a purpose in view,
It matters not how old or how new ;
And with all your power
Work and not worry every day and hour.
Never a battle was won in sleep.
Earnestly every promise keep,
And if God's help you ask
You can master the hardest task.
And say at last, like McKinley, our martyred one,
Thy will, not mine, be done.
