The Early Birds.
I wandered in tlve wintry morn, "t%M, damp, and utterly forlorn. And saw them passing in the gray, Chill drifts of mist, ere yet 'twas day The workers huddled in their clo's. Like ill-drilled reg-i-ments in rows, Tliey hastened to their daily graft. I leaned upon a fence and laughed. From Queen Ann villas half a score, I heard their portly masters snore, And yet the proverb doth, affirm The early bird will catch the worm. Snell in "Sydney Bulletin."
