Then you cannot remember That frosty November

He jumped in the creek ' And caught Tommy Lake

By the nape of the neck

And pulled bim ashore ? | But alas! poor Joe! He had far to go

1

In his clothes dripping wet, When it came on to snow: And when he got home His folks were away, The door was fest locked— It was Thanksgiving day ; They had visiting gone, And so the poor lad No dry clothes to put on, Ashamed was he, Looking so like an elf To go to the neighbors To warm himself; But walked about briskly, And tried to keep warm, ~ But his blood was chilled When his mother came home; So they put him to bed, With husky voice And feverish head.

I remember wel How we watched by his bed; Hut in spring time the news came That poor Joe was dead I remember, too, How his mother wept, And the silence sad That over us crept As we laid his body Beneath the green sod, When his bright little spirit Had gone home to God.

And oft at eve We would loitering go. To see the last tiome Of that stout-hearted Joe; And silent and musing, We boys used to think. , That the robins and bluebirds Loved little Joe Fink; For they sang in the trees That grew over the grave. And seemed to be conscious That in trying to save Tommy Lake from his death In the dark chilly wave, He had brought on the iliness That ended so aad, And layed his head low, The brave little lad!

And now when my eyes Are growing (iim, ' And my head is white, And I'm stiff of limb, In the spring of the year, When the violets appear. I sometimes fee! sad, And my eyes will fill When I think at ethose summerbirds Singing there still? Ajax T. Lamon:
