A LITTLE PEACH.
A little peach in an orchard grew; A little peach of emerald hue; Warmed by the sun and wet by thg dew It grew. One day, passing the orchard through, That little peach dawned on the view Of Johnny Jones and his sister Sue— Theos two. Up at the peach a club they threw; Down from the stem-on which it grew Fell the little peach of emerald hoe. Mon Dieu! She took a bite, and John a chew," ' And then the trouble began to brewTrouble the doctor couldn't subdue. Tootaw! Under the turf where the dasies grew They planted John and his sister Sue, And their little souls to the angels flew. 800-hoo! But what of tho peach of emerald hue, Warmed by the sun and wefc by the dew ? Ah well; its mission on earth is through. Adieu I ° Eugene Field.
