As when cme who's lost, forsaken. suffering i-ar bed and bacon, r-ees a lighted ccttoge window that invites aim to retc-se-, so a delegate or member .c»s'is utor the mild September, wh-th, with, her reireshinc coolness. 5s a :aim for all his woes. Ey 'the beat off summer smitten, by the fftes and skeeters bitten, man is. at the end off August, near the limit ©f his nerve; then September comes serenely, after months that -soaked him meanly; he would lead her down with posies, he admires her every curve. She is like a drank ©ff water to the wanderers vl® tseter on life's long and dusty highway, with their, feet and bosoms sore; she is like a slice of slunniber to the guys whose number is as hard eff eomputation as the sands nx*n rue sho-re. She s a solace and a ginrrilnw to all skates who tear their hurien. she's a balsam for Their bruises, she's a tonic for their souls: every feature of her pleases, ant 37.1 tines and frosty breezes —let us boast the calm September while the fctell of summer tolls. :
