WHERE?




Where is the honey-bee?
Where has the swallow flown?
Only the chickadee
Chirrups his song alone.
Where is the bobolink,
Bubbling with merriment?
What was the road, think,
The gadding fire-fly went?
Whither flew the little wings
Grown in green forest aisles?
Where are the pretty things
That blossomed miles on miles?

A GOAT IN TROUBLE.

A few weeks ago, as I was crossing a railroad track just outside of the city, a little goat stepped before me. With a sad cry, she seemed to ask me to stop. I turned aside to pass on, but she kept brushing against me, until I finally decided to find out what she wanted.
