CORN W\RVEST.

BY J. TOWASEND TROWBRIDGE,

The fields are filled with smoky baze, The volden spears Of the ripening ears Peep from the crested and pennoned maize, All down the rustling rows are rolled The portly pampkins, green aud gold, Altoyether Tis very fine weather, Just as the almanac foretold,

In early summer the brigand crows ade ruthless raids

On the sprouting blades; The weeds fought long with the farmer's hoe— And the racons and squirrels have had their share Of all but the good man‘s toil and care—

The chy Bold mouse

Has filled her honse, And the Blackbirds ave flocking from no one knows

where.

But now his time has come—hurrah ! To the fields, lads! to day Our work will be play, Let the blackbirds scream, and the mad crows caw And the squirrels scold on the wild-cherry limb— We'll take from the robbers that took from Lim. Come along, one and all, boys ! Big boys and small boys, Long-arued Amos, and Joel, and Jim.

Bring sick les to reap, or blades to strike, Before they have lost In sun avd frost The nourishing juices the cattle like, Sucker and stilk must be cat from the hill; | Surround them, and bend them then bit with a will | Left standing too iong, They grow woody and strong; The corn in the stock will riped still.

Carry your stroke, lads, close to the eround, set the stalks upright, | And pack them tight Iv pyramids shapely and stately and round, Give the old lady’s skirts a yentee! spread; Slope well the shoulder, 80 us to aiod The Aucamn rain From the anhusked grain,

Then twist a wisp for the queer little head.

| | ‘there she is, waiting to he embraced } Reael round her who can, T will take « man Aud a boy at least, to clasp her waist ! Was evera bry like that? Now draw Tightiv the girdle of good oat straw ? With the plampest waist That ever was laced Goes the narrowest vighte.pever you saw We bind the corn, «nd leave it snug, | Or rest in the shade Of the shocks we have made, | The children come britging the bands, ot play Hide and-yo-seek in the corn all. . Atid now and then race With a chipmouk, or chase A ecared little field-mouse scampering away,

All day we cut and bine; till at night— W here a field of coin in The wisty morning Waved, in the | vel September light— Atl over the shadowy stabtle-land, Che stooks. like Indian wig-wame, stand, Compxct and secure, There leave them to enre, Till the merry husking-lime is at hand.
