ECHOES FROn THE FAHILY CLOCK.
M
Said the clock on the shelf to a statuette near,
“I’ve a tale to relate ii' you only will hear;
I am not prepossessing i'11 beauty or grace,
And rnv poor slender hands always cover my face,
I am not a great boaster, you’ll find It is true
That I run down my works in all that I do.
Tiok-tock!
“But I’ve witnessed strange tilings since I’ve stood on this shelf.
And really I can’t keep them all to myself,
I have seen angry’looks, and smiles that were sweet,
As I ticked off the moments so endless and lleet.
I’ve stayed here so long that I haven’t a doubt
I know this old house, both inside and out.
Tick-toek!
“I’ve seen the grim monstercome into this home,
And claim a fair inmate and call it his own,
’Mid pleasures and sorrows, ’mid joy and ’mid care,
I’ve seen family circles engaging in praver.
Through the summer and winter, the autumn and spring,
I’ve lived in this home and I know everything.
, Tick-tock!
*
“Right there on the floor the children oft’ play,
While I tick along till the end of the day;
The boys and the girls of the village come here,
To enjoy all together an evening of cheer.
And I’ve heard lover’s words from the hour of seven,
’Till somewhere along about half past eleven.
Tick-tock!
“Once right in that corner, there stood side by side,
Two young people fair—one a groom, one a bride—
They promised each other their young lives to give,
Said without one another they never could live!
She was fair as a lily, he looked like a prince,
I’ve sometimes wondered how they got along since.
• Tick-tock!
“Tick, tick, is my business through day and through night,
I’m considered first class if I keep time all right,
So I just keep a going content with myself,
As I view all events from my perch on the shelf.
O, I can’t help the things that I hear and I see,
To say I’m an eaves-aropper wouldn’t please me.
Tick-tock!’’
