Sweet "Little Mischief"
He gets in to all kinds of mischief
That ever a baby could do,
-And, minute by minute, all day long,
Is trying the patience of you.
He pulls the cups off of the tajale,
And opens the book-case, and such—
There is not a thing you could mention,
That I can keep free from his clutch.
He smears the piano with candy,
And marks all the doors with his thumbs;
The carpets and chairs are forever,
All strewn with his litter and crumbs;
He tears all the papers to pieces,
And carries the cat by his tail,
And laughs at its mewing and squirming,
Until it all ends in a wail.
For kittle at last, loses patience,
And scratches as hard as she can'
And then it takes nursing and petting,
To quiet a hurt Ijttle man; ,
Wtfile klttie rubs 'found and is sorry-*.
She loves him as well as I do—
It takes the strong love of a mother, -
To suffer the things she goes throu^hf
And yet he is lovingly cunning.
And cunning loving as well,
While all the cute things I could mention,
Not half of bis cuteness would tell;
He bubles with innocent laughter;
At morning at noon, and at night,
And though he is brimming With mischief,
He is ap unending delight.
And what should we do if he leftjis— -—
God grant such a thing may not be!
The thought of the sorrow and silence,
Brine fear and disaster to me.
For life would not be worth the living,
If he should be taken away—
His mischievous pranks give me pleasure,
To worry about him is play!
The house would be dreary without him,
And I should be sad and forlorn,
I who have been constantly with him—
His guardian since he was born.
His mischief—I love it so dearly!
And watching him gives me no care;
The home-would be broken and lonely, ~
Were "sweet Little Mischief'' not there!
Everybody is biisy and;
many in town, so npws is scartie.
Crops that were planted
the rain are coming up nicely;
Another rain would be very ac-
ceptable now, although we axe;
not suffering for it.

Our little villiage was consid-
erable excited last Tuesday by a

settled satisfactorily to all con-
cerned.
