HAIL-THE-MORN. 
A Bnvn-Ynrd JInllud, with u Moral. 
1 havk 11 rooster, large and strong, 
Old Ilail-tlie-Morn he’s called; ^ 
To tell of all that him befell, 
The scores of roosters he lias mauled, 
Would he u yard too long to tell, 
Too biographically long. 
You ought to see his eagle claws. 
His spur-like gulfs, his martial jaws, 
His strut defiant, and the ire 
That Hashes from Ids eye of lire. 
When poaching rivals dare to stray 
On grounds acknowledging Ids sway. 
His " Cock-a-doodle-doo "’s a song; 
No other cun such notes prolong 
A* he hln; 
He crows to make the windows Jar: 
Of roosters, he’s the brightest star. 
From opr ham-yard, way down as lar 
As I’ekin. 
My rooster spoi ls hut one lone hen, 
And only seen hut now and then, 
A biddy she of humblest fame 
And wretched plumage: 
Our neighbors know her by the name 
Of Mrs. flummldge i 
We call her so, 'cause when we meet her, 
We think of that "poor, lone, lorn creeter.” 
I've wondered oft If Hail-tlie-Morn, 
When scanning o’er his feathers torn, 
Did ever, 
Or never. 
Wish In Ids niormordstic breast 
He could with “Tuk-ta-Uuw” make blest 
Another; 
• Or dream with rooster rapture when 
Would come some young, gay, dashing hen 
Mis life to bother. 
My neighbor has a rooster, too, 
A gawky cock ns ever crew. 
Compare his build with Hail-the-Morn, 
He’s but a peasant pauper horn 
To one of royal blood : 
In sooth, the veriest rooster churl 
That ever scratched for bugs or corn 
In burn-yard straw or mud. 
His tail has naught of graceful curl. 
Ill 1 comb lias naught of ruby line, 
His legs arc short and thin and blue. 
And then, his crow. 
As neighbors know, 
Heaves nothing of that echoing swirl 
Of sound we hear from martini horn : 
The brazen clang, 
The glorious twang, 
So grandly heard In Hail-tlie-Morn. 
Of wives he struts with not a few, 
A clucking, cackling, graceless crew— 
Not less than twenty ; 
I’ve outlines thought, If with Ids score, 
He was ambitious still for more. 
Or deemed them plenty. 
Not long had 1 to watching wait 
To know his sentiments the sinner! 
While stooping near the garden gate, 
To pick some Limit beans for dinner, 
With waddling gate 1 saw him come 
To our lone biddy, 
And tried Ids best to wile her hum, 
1 lit 0 ell the tide to toll— 
.lust think, to his domestic roost, 
Already tilled so well. 
Another loved one he to boost 
Whs ready. 
He shambled round with t railing wing, 
And ogling eye and amorous Jaw, 
And softly chortiBsed *'Tuk*ta-kaw,” 
Still “Tuk-uukaw” meandering, 
And bobbing round, 
As if of all Of egg-dom birth 
The fairest she of all the earth 
lie then liad found ; 
lint, quite unmindful of the homage, 
Peeked on poor, dowdy Mrs. Oummidge. 
Perhaps Ids moves were hut 11 trick, 
So many proofs to show how thick 
They were os neighbors : 
Mere Unltic bows and how-de-doos, 
With comments on the morning nows 
To lighten labors. 
But, wrong or right in my suspicions, 
The sequel shows 'lis with a bird 
As Tta with t hose of wiser head. 
And proves a truth we've outlines read, 
That gallantry become* absurd 
When strained beyond its just conditions. 
With eves aghov, old Hail-the-Morn, 
Disdaining worm* and scattered corn : 
With piercing shriek, as it to warn, 
Down from the ridge-pole of the barn, 
Fame swooping like 11 thing of rage, 
The “flay Lothario" to engage. 
Why need 1 to my linns append 
A tuct. 11 goose might apprehend, 
That, fertile biddy lone ami lorn. 
Victorious Still was UuiUtho-Morn. 
Or add—This moral you may draw : 
When foolish tricksters " Tuk-ld-kaw." 
With neighboring shes in amorous blether, 
11 liens or those of higher feather. 
Regardless of domestic law 
And slander. 
And round one's premises will mouse, 
They’re more than merely apt to rouse 
One’s dander, .1. M.

are impalpable switches. 
An old lady read about the strike of the wire-

A pleasant old man of Teutonic antecedents

turned a verdict of “suicide in the first degree," 
A little girl being sent to the store to pur¬ 
chase some dye stuff, and forgetting the name

that’s the name. I want three cans' worth," 
In attempting to carve a fowl, one day, a gen-
