MILK AND HONEY.

We have a zealous neighbour, wh» Regardless of expense, Has planted blossoms, red and blue, Along hie garden fence. Nor root nor seedling have we got, • But still we're gay with flowers; The posies in our neighbour's plot Can all be plucked from ours. The neighbour on the other side Scorns the geranium, And cultivates with loving pride Apple and pear and plum. With whatsoever fruit we chooee We tempt our appetite; 'Tis rather deft the way w« use> A fishing net at night. Our garden, as I said before, Has neither flowers nor fruits, Of empty tins it has a,, store, And cast-off hats and boots. To tidy.it we do not strive, For we've discovered that The hens of Brown at Number 5 Lay in my old silk hat. —T. Hodgkinson.
