AT THE OFFICE OF
Tiierr's Work E..&!1. to Do,
The blackbird parly loaves its nest
To meet the smilling morn,
And gather fragments for its nest
From upland, wood and lawn.
The busy bee that wings its way
'Mid sweets of varied hue,
At every flower would seem to say
There's work enough to do."
The cowslip and the spreading vine,
The daisy in the grass,
The snow-drop and the eglantine,
Preach sermons as we pass.
The ant within its cavern deep,
Would bid us labor, too,
And writes upon its tiny heap' .
" There's work enough to do."
The planets, at their Maker's will,
Move onward in their cars,
Tbr Nature's wheel is never still
Progressive as the stars 1
The leaves that flutter in the air,
And Summer's breezes woo,
One solemn truth to man declare
" There's work enough to do."
"Who then can sleep when all around
Is active, fresh, and free 1
Shall man creation's lord be found
Less busy than the bee!
Our courts and alleys are the field,
If men would search them through,
That best the sweets of labor yield,
And " work enough to do."
To have a heart for those who weep,
The sottish drunkard win;
To rescue all the children, deep
In ignorance and sin.
To help the poor, the hungrey feed,
To give him coat and shoe,
To see that all can write and read
Is "work enough to do."
The time is short the world is wide
And much has to be done;
This wondrous earth, and all its pride,
Will vanish with the sun I
The moments fly on lightning's wings,
And life's uncertain, too;
We've none to waste on foolish things
"There's work enough to do."

portions of Delaware and Sullivan coun

As I was trudging along one afternoon,
in the town of Fremont, one of the bor-

young man, with a rifle on his shoulder,
and being well pleased with the idea of
having company through the woods, I
turned around and said, '(rood afternoon
