THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
“ Doan’t goo to-niglit,” the old man 
said, 
“ The clouds be gatherin’ overhead ; 
“ The stream down yonder’s deep and 
wide ! ” 
He whistled gaily, and replied, 
“All right, old boy!” 
“ Oh, stay ! ” his aunt had said, “ and 
rest ; 
“ Go not to-night of moths in quest ! ” 
A saucy glance was in his eye, 
He answered, with a heart-drawn sigh, 
“ The moths won’t wait ! ” 
“ Take care, sir, of yon narrow bridge, 
“ Doan’t ’ee goo too fast up the ridge ! ” 
This was the peasant’s last “good 
night : ” 
A voice replied far up the height, 
“ Good night, my friend ! ” 
********** 
At break of day, as in the sky, 
The merry larks sang loud and high, 
Utt’ring their grateful matin prayer, 
A voice cried through the startled air, 
“ It’s time to go ! ” 
A being, by the faithful hound, 
At the green garden-gate was found, 
Still grasping, empty, ’neath his arm, 
That jar that had the wondrous 
charm — 
His “ sugar-pot ! ” 
There, in the twilight ( sans his hat), 
Drenched (but with lots of moths) lie 
sat ; 
And on the servant’s drowsy brain 
A voice fell once — and once again — 
“ My breakfast, please ! ”
