RECREATION. 



broke the wallof ice. Ralph's best pic- Mr. nor Mrs. Hearne ever regret the 

 tureshang in Miss Glenmore's home, hospitality shown to the showman's 

 but it is his home also, and neither lost cat. 



HIS PROMISE. 

 M. H. Wright. 



Now, Sairy Jane, I'm nearly done, 

 I've worked ther corn an' taters; 



An' now I'll go an' finish up 

 With ther melons an' termaters. 



Now, Jane, I'll try an' fill yer wish, 

 For I'm goin' down ter ther river; 



Ye've long been wantin' a mess er fish, 

 An' I'm yer cheerful giver. 



I'll not come back 'till I ketch er fish, 

 D'ye hear me wat I'm sayin'? 

 . An' I'll yank 'im out with er lively swish, 

 So don't yer mind my stayin'.
