Grandfather's "summer Sweets."

Graudfather's "Summer sweets" are ripe, Out on the gnarled old tree, Out where the robinredbreasts pipe, And buzzes the bumble-bee. Swinging high on the bending bougb, Scentiug the lazy breeze, What is the god's ambrosia now To apples of gold like these? Rudily the blush of their maiden cheeks After the Bunbeam's kiss. Every qulvering Ieaflet speaks. Teil a tale of bliss; Telling of dain ties hung about, Each in verdant wreath, Shimmerlng satín all without, Honey ana ereain beneath. Would ye hast to the banquet rare, Taste of the ícast sublime? Brush from the brow the Unes of care, Scoff at the touch of Time. Come in the glow of the olden days Come with a youthful face, Come through the old familiar ways Up from the dear old place. Barefoot, trip through the meadow lane, Laughing at bruise and scratch ; Come wilh jour hands all rich with staln, Fresh from the blackberry patch. Come where the orchard spreads lts store And the breath of the clover greets; Quick! they are wal ting you here ouce more,- Grandfather's "Slimmer sweets." Grandfalher's "Summer sweets" are rlpe Out on the gnarled, old tree, Out where the robiu redbreasts pipe, And buzzes the bumble-bee. Swinging liigh on the bending bough, Sceuting the lazy breeze, What is the gods' ambrosia now To apples of gold like these? -L. A. W. Bulletin. Gov. Pingree bas appointed Hou. A. L.
