AN INVITATION.
Up, up, my friend, and quit your books. Or surely you'll grow double. Up, up, my friend, and clear your looks; Why all this toil and trouble? Books! 'Tis a dull and endless strife. Come, hear the woodland linnet, How sweet his music, on my life, There's moro of wisdom in it. And. hark! How blithe the throstle sings! He, too, is no mean preacher. Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature be your, teacher. —Sent by Nellie Garrett, Upper Papamoa, Tauranga.
