I ' ssr "One o' these days" 'tis "the gentle, phrase That the "old folks" would oft employ To curb and nulet the restless ways Of a moody, Impatient boy. And mahv an hour would he doze and dream. Where the minnows flashed in the ahdl- low stream, With the, sunlight lost'ln a leafy maze, Wishing and waiting for "one o' thsao days," i And the big envare patch that they'd failed to match With the rert of the clothes he wore Would vanish aulie as he raised the latch! Of the Wishing Castle's door. And he knew the things that he had tq lei rn, And friends would erect him where'eu he'd turn, And the future was golden and sweet with praise Aa he wished and walled for 'on o' these days." No lonser the leaves where tho shala tree weaves A bower, exclude th light. But tha duet en the window pane rellavej Ills eyes, should tho day be brleht. And his garments oro scarcely bettea than Thy wera when a barefoot boy he ran Yet he often smtlaa wlih a faraff gaze, Still wishing- and waiting foe ''ona o1 these days." , Washington Star, j CASTOR I A For Infants and Children. .
