THE ARISTOCRATIC POTATO.
How dear tu my heart are the dreams of
my childhood
When fend recollection presents them
to view;
The ax and the nawbuck, the great cord
of piled wood
I looked at with horror—that 1 roust

The jam jars, the apples, the shellbarks,
the bacon
That hung in the cellar in slabs long
and thin—
What wonderful dream* at this time
