PARCEL POST.
Thep ostman’s brow is sad and
stern, the post man’s eyes with
anger burn, he prays with doleful
sound; his heart is full of woe
because he’s loaded down like :
Santa Claus each time he goes !
his round. What wonder that his |
spirit’s sore? He looks like a de- j
partment store' that’s been placed |
on legs, with crates of turnips j
and of cheese, and scythes and j
forks and humble bees, and pack
ages of eggs. To Jones he |
brings a crocodile, to Mrs, Junes j
a new spring tile; In Smith a I
rocking chair; tie carries churns j
and catalogs and groceries and :
Shepherd dugs—oh, brethren, is!
it fair? Our postman, who is
tired and frail, resembles much:
an auction sale as he toils up the j
street, three cords of junk upon i
his back, and you can hear his
muscles crack and mark tiis arh- ;
ing feet. Old I'lieh* Sain should:
change Hie rule and for each
postman buy a mule, or else a
chug-chug earl: il isn't fair to j
load him down wit li .'II I lie 11
