No. 12. Charade. 
(Read by sound.) 
A youth, whose age, I think, was nine or ten, 
To make his fortune once, set gaily out: 
His total held but little second then, 
But to gain more was what he set about. 
‘‘I want a man,” his pa at breakfast, said, 
“About your size, to work for me all day; 
’Tis picking up potatoes, Master Fred, 
And seven cents a basket I will pay.” 
And so the boy began with courage high: 
“I’m sure by night I’ll have a dollar earned.” 
But, ah! too soon he heaved a weary sigh; 
For how the sun his tender shoulders burned. 
At morn, the wished-for first had seemed so near: 
“Fll pick up fifteen bushels—what a heap!” 
At noon, his courage all had oozed, I fear; 
The men went back to work, the boy to sleep.
