TWO BIRDL.ESS HATS. 

 The plumage of a dozen birds would not have made them more beautiful. 



OLD AND NEW GUNS. 



A. M. BOWMAN. 



A hunter had a gun, 



A very ancient one, 

 And he shot with it many a deer and bear; 



Then he got a new gun, 



A very modern one, 

 And now the ancient gun gets no more 



care. 



But in the years to come 

 There'll be a newer gun. 



A new gun that will shoot a pinhead ball; 

 And then the ancient gun 

 And this now modern one 



Will be hanging side by side on the wall.
