"the Boy Who's Gone Away."

He was "sucli a Hule torment." Weüll liave cfteii said. Full of noisy i'un and mischief Fiom lis í'eet to ruffled béad. He was basty, rude and fretfui, Angelic, sweet and gay. By turna with ev ry moment- Tlie boy whM'a gone away. TEo tracked mud upou thec.arpets, He spilled water on the floors, He lelt the Windows open, llr liever shut the doors, He racecl nuidly up the stalrcase A hundred tímela day, But w e misa liim very sadly, The boy who's goue away. The house nanas like a place of death, It so straogeiy still, Till lie returns we have no heart, Ko spirit, strength or iil. To do our daily labors, Ye can neithei' work no play, For we love liim, ali ! so dearly, The boy who's soné away.
