One curious thing is noticed One which fate has oft instilled, That there always will be peaches. Even when the peach crop’s killed. We may miss them from the orchard, But the basket comes in filled, For there always will be peaches, Even when the peach crop’s killed. Bear this hint in mind, my comrade: Never let your hopes be chilled; Always, somewhere, there are peaches, Even when the peach crop’s killed. —Chicago Tribune. City Council Proceedings.
