An Idyl of the Springtime.

Only a cucumber, the first of the season. Only a small boy. deaf unto reason; Only a colic, followed by chills: Only a doctor, and Only some pills. Only a preacher, with prayer-book in hand; Only a coffin that rests on the stand; Only a funeral, solemn and quiet -, Only a head-board— ‘■’Twas the boy’s diet" —Atlanta Constitution. The croet-cut saw gets dull in spite el ite teeth.
