Both great aud small,
Unite for public good.
With one accord,
Pass on tho word
And ‘‘down the tax” on Mud.

MUD.
In every State
From Golden Gate,
•
To Pass’mauuoddy Bay;
Travel and trade
Are sore delaved,
By mud and rude highway.
With half a load,
O’er muddy road,
The farmer drags his way;
And wonders why
When roads were dry
He had no calls for hay.
The good M. D.
Spends many a fee
To pay for wheel and tire:
Patrons get sick,
If roads are thick
• And ‘‘up to the hub” with mire.
A MODERN APOLLO
He is not handsome, brave or young.
.• With speaking eye^and ready t »ng.a
To favor gain, the maids among;
He’s old and stout and gray.
He is not witty, learned or bright.
His very name he scarce can write,
Nor.can he merry jests recite
To pass the time away.
But maidens sweetly at him glance.
And smile on him at every ehanei
Forsaking youths ami scholars
For banks will honor if lie write,
To self or bearer pay on sight
500,000 dollars.
Felt< ft• I.
The dominie,
With ’pointments three
On Sunday, miles apart
In miry clay,
' Plods all the way
Who needs more grace of heart ?
Five days each week,
The schoolma'm meek
Trudges in slush to school:
Pays half her dues,
For overshoes
Stuck fast and lost in the pool.
The village beau,
New rig to show,
‘ 1»-■ I •
rV’ taktf a ride:
But swift breakdown,
Or broken crow n,
Damp« youthful joy and pride.
The cyclist, thrown
By rut or stone,
I nto a wayside slough ;
Tho’ quick and strong.
From cycling long,
Just barely scramlili s through.
KNVOV.
Ta y pa yers all,
A MODERN CREED.
%
Let ad (he dogmas perish,
Let all the legends go;
All the grander and the brighter
Are the ‘.ruths that we shall km»w ;
All the c learer 9 nd sweetcr
1 he paths of duty here;
No present filled with anguish,
No future filled with fear.
