EVANSTON, ILL., Aug. 15, 1888.
To the Editor:
Several of us are very anxious to learn the authorship of the following poem, which is to be found in so many scrap-books, and which ever and anon appears as a newspaper waif:
RESIGNATION
I have a dear canary bird,
That every morning sings
The sweetest songs I ever heard,
And flaps his yellow wings.
I love to sit the whole day long
Beside the window-sill,
