Bums hot Into office and halt;
And tollers swelter and languish
.And somo by the wayside fa. I:
But out where tho breezes are blowing
Cool and fresh Is a' winding path
That leads to a pool In the forest
Where tho wood-thrush Is taking bit
bath.
II.
The atr In the stores is stuffy
And most unbearably warm.
But there la A. sale on dresses.
And oh, how tho' shoppers swarm I
But down In the glades of the marshei
A' wonderful nest Is hung.
And there tn the coo) green shadows
A redwing is feeding his young.

To a state ot profuse liquidation:
