THE LOCAL FIELD.
'Tis Sweet to Think.
'Tis sweet to think, that, where'er we rove,
We are Mire to find something' blissful and
dear.
And that, when we're far from the lips we
love.
We've but to make love to the lips we are
near.
The heart, like a tendril, accustom'd to
cling.
Let it grow where it will, cannot flourish
alone.
But will lean to the nearest, and loveliest
thing.
It can twine with itself, and make closely
its own.
Then oh! what pleasure, where'er we rove^
To be sure to find something, still, that is
dear,
And to know, when far from the lips we love.
We've but to make love to the lips we are
near. ? Mooke.

Talking about a bucket brigade makes
us think of the crowd that each fine
day is headed for the timber where the
i berries grow in such profusion. The
large and small, old and young join the
j procession, and when they return their
fingers are stained, their buckets are
filled, and a suspicious purplo coloring
around their mouths, tells how they
have enjoyed the berries as they picked.
Just the thing- to put the Baby in.
