Alas! their sons in thraldom pine, The vassals of this stranger line. Yes! pleased, on our land, from his azure way, The sun ever smiles with unclouded ray. But never, fair isle, shall thy sons repose 'Mid the sweets which the faithless waves enclose. On their bosom they wafted the corsair bold, With his dreaded barks to our coast of old.
"On the 22d of June he sold his dog said 'Dern a dog, anyway, where you're just starting off on a rattling bully pleasure tramp through the summer woods and hills perfect nuisance chases the squirrels, barks at everything, goes a-capering and splattering around in the fords man can't get any chance to reflect and enjoy nature and I'd a blamed sight ruther carry the claim myself, it's a mighty sight safer; a dog's mighty uncertain in a financial way always noticed it well, GOOD-by, boys last call I'm off for Tennessee with a good leg and a gay heart, early in the morning."

But he is so friendly with everybody that he would just as soon a tramp came up to the tent as some of the farm peddlers," said Mrs. Brown. "He hardly ever barks unless he is playing with you children, and he is so good-natured."
