THE PARALLEL BALLROAJ)‘
Hearing ofthc Applicants Before
the Railroad Commissioners.
The first bearing upon the application of
the New York and; Connecticut railroad
companyto the railroad commissioners to-
aecept the lay out of a new railroad from
this city to New York took place yesterday.
The hearing began in the ofilce of the com
pany, No 4 Church street, but owing to the
large number present, soon a‘fter adjourned
to the courthouse where it was continued.
Commissioners Woodrufi, Bacon and Hay-
ward were. present. and the company making
the application were represented by A. P.
Hyde of Hartford and tax-Congressman
Warner of Norwalk. This city was repre-
sented by Corporation Counsel Stoddard,
and City Surveyor Fowler” and thcj Derby
railroad company by President Bartholomew
of Ansonia, and M. Frank Tyler of this city.
Other legal gentlemen present representing
towns and land owners were Tilden E. Doo—
little, General William Randol Smith of
Norwalk, Colonel Hoyt of Greenwich and
Mr. Woodward of Norwalk.
The-_ certificate of the. organization was
presented, and State Attdrney Doolittle
who representeda number of land owners
claimed that there was no legal organization.
The cities and towns through which the sun-
vey has been made were then called begin—
ning with New Haven.
Corporation Counsel Stoddard said he ap-
peared in opposition to the present plan of
the road so far as the city is concerned.
The main objection was to have the new
road come in over the Derby road as pro-
posed, and cross at grade seven streets in
entering the city, The use of the present
location of the Derby road was an exceed-
ingly dangerous thing and it would become
more so with more frequent trains. The
present location was a mistake —s very se-
rious mistake; and to obviate it this fall
measures would be taken to change the
present location of the Derby road and have
it enter the city on the same line of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford road, from
the West Haven salt meadows. The speaker
strongly objected to‘any road coming into
the city over the Derby railroad tracks in
view of these facts. The feeling in the city
was to get the Derby road location out of its
present dangerous position. He added that
he did not represent the Derby road, but
only the city of New Haven which substan-
tially owned the Derby road. Further on
Mr. Stoddard said that the crossing by the
Derby road of the. two approaches to the.
Union Depot, State and Meadow streets,
must be stopped or there would be a
slaughter some day of people that would
astonish the community.
It was finally decided that the commission-
ers should fix a day for Mr. Stoddard "to be
heard at length on the matter he had intro-
duced. '
Israel K. Ward appeared for the borough
of West Haven. The people of the borough,
he claimed, objected to a grade, crossing at
Spring avenue, where the line had been laid
out. Spring street was a permanent approach
to New Haven, and a grade crossing would
be adecided damage to’ the borough. The
commissioners decided to hearthe represen-
tatives or the town at some future time.
The town of Stratford was represented by
Selectmen F. J. Beardsley and‘C. B. Curtis
whose principal objection Was to grade
crossings through the town.
Selectman-Thomas Stirling appeared for
the town'orinridgeport and objected to,the_

The town of Fairfield was represented by
Selectman A.' P. Wakemau who pointed

gather with the objections or certain cross—

l(general WilliamRandel Smith represent-
ed the borough of Norwalk and some twenty
or more private property owners in the
town. He had been instructed to oppose the
entire layout of the road and asked for a
special hearing in Norwalk where objections
might be heard at length. His request for a
date for a hearing was compiled with.
Colonel Hoyt said he represented the town
of Greenwich'sndalso some fifteen or six-
teen individual property owners. . First Se-
' 'lectman Joseph E. Russell was also present
and prepared to object. COlonel Hoyt said
he was prepared, when the time came, to
deny the legality of the organization of the
railroad company, to deny the necesuty of
taking the line 'through Greenwich it was
proposed to take, and to oppose all crossing
of highways at grade. He added that there
, were some seventeen crossings in Greenwich.
Milford,:Wcstport, Darien and Stamford
were unrepresented.
M. Frank Tyler, representing the Derby
railroad company, said that he objected to
the approval of any layout which would in-
terfere with the possible change in the layout
of the Derby road. He stated that satisfac.
tory arrangements had been made about this
matter between the' presidents of the two
roads. «
This ended the hearing of corporations,
and individual owners of land were'ncxt
called, most of them being represented by
attorneys. -Tilton E. Doolittle appeared next
for-Richard 'S.‘ Fellows, who owned 'five,
tracts of lands in Milford which the road
proposed to cross. “In the first place, he said

tormine as to the layout of the road. If the
claim is made that the Secretary of State had
been derelict in duty and had authorized the
formation of an illegal corporation, the rem-
edy was to go into court. The speaker in
’ turn discussed the objections he said Mr.
Doolittle had raised. The first was that
Cowles did not subscribe for his stock with
- his own hand. The power of attorney given
was the instrument of the man giving it, and
just as binding as if he had signed his own
name. The power of attorney given by
Cowles, authorizing Olmstead .to sign his
name, was just as binding as Mr. Cowles’ own
signature. . In the matter of the personal ex-
amination of the road by a competent engin—
eer, Mr. Hyde held that the law had been
fully complied with and there was no proof
to the contrary.
No decision on the points raised was made
by the board and the hearing continued.
Henry D.- White representing the New
Haven Savings Bank owning property in
Orange, appeared and objected to grade cross-
ings, as also did Daniel Davenport of Bridge-
port, representing some hundred or more
persons who object to the layout of the road
and to all crossings at grade. There are now
thirty-six crossings at grade-in the town and
this layout adds twenty-four more, which
the citizens do not want. Mr. Downs, rep-
resenting the road, stated that there was no
crossings at grade in the city of Bridgeport:
and would be none, and Mr. Davenport said
if such was be case he had no objection save
as to layout which he desired should be fur—
ther north.
A. B. Woodward of Norwalk. appeared for
the Sturgess families of Fairfield, in opposi-
tion to the layout, which ruins their property.
Most of these parties represented that they
were not prepared for a full hearing and de-
sired the commissionch to fix a date when
they could be heard.
Commissioner Woodruff said that the com-
missioners only had till August 23 to devote
to this road and all the hearings must be
through by that time, as the commissioners
had engagements after that date.
Mr. Hyde asked if the approval of the
line, where the road entered this city, could
be delayed to see if the Derby road would
conclude to enter the city over the tracks of
the Consolidated road. In the latter case the
new road might also endeavor to enter the
same way as the Derby. '
Mr. Woodruif thought that it could be
done.
Mr. Doolittle objected and said that the
articles of association called for the approval
or disapproval of a road from the west side
of Meadow street out to the state line. The
commissioners could not' be asked to approve
of a part of the road.
Mr. Woodrufif thought the commissioners
might approve or disapprove of part of the
layout of the road. After adding that they
expected to visit and hold. hearings in Bridge-
port, Norwalk, Greenwich and Fairfield, an
adjournment was taken till next Tuesday at
9:30 a. m.
Three Distinguished Christian
Lawyers.
They all lived in one of the shore towns of
Fairfield county, Connecticut, and were con-
temporaries, though of different ages and dy-
ing at different times,but all in the faith. Two
of them were of successive classes in Yale
College under the Presidency of Timothy
Dwight, at a time when French infidelity
was popular and rife. The other, at much
later period, graduated at the School of
Medicine in the same College,but afterwards
chose and adorned the profession of law.
These three were Hon. Clark Bissell, Hon.
Thaddeus Belts, and Hon. Thomas B. Butler.
The first was a native of Lebanon, the birth-
place of Governors Trumbull, Buckingham,
&c. ; the second of Norwalk,‘and the third
of Wethersfield. fl
Neither of these entered the church of
Christ in early life, nor until they had reach-
ed thc maturity of their years and powers,
and attained the acme of their honors;
when, at dififerent period, they all became
members of me same Congregational church,
in whose fellowship they died. They were
neighbors, each having built a commodious
but not pretentious house; and they were
warm personal friends. Though the older
two, living opposite to each other, were for
many years rivals at the bar and generally on
opposite sides of cases, yet no two men in
the town so esteemed and loved each other.
The eldest of the three was a Judge of the
Supreme Court of Connecticut before he
made profession of religion; but afterward
became a Bible class teacher, then Governor
of the State, then professor of law at Yale
College. The second became Lieutenant-
Governor of Connecticut, and afterward
made a public confession of his faith in
Christ just before he took his seat in the Sen-
The third repre-
sented his State in Congress; afterward be-
.came her Chief Justice, and then joined him-
self to Christ and His Church.
What now shall be said of the power and
worth of this cordial, practical testimony of
:“these three mighties" to the Gospel and
grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ ?
Nor have these been the only distinguished
members of the legal profession in Connecti-
cut who have likewise “adorned the doctrine
of God our Saviour.” Who does not recall
the names of such as Chief Justice Thomas
S. Williams and Governor W. W. Ellsworth,
both deacons of the First Church of Hart-
ford, and Roger Minot Sherman, deacon of.
the . church in Fairfield ? These also were
"three mighties,” and so were others.

Farming Under the Sea.
What can’t be done in New England in the
way of “turning an honest penny,” can’t be
done anywhere. Here is a way in which
Slctuate, Mass, turns over $50,000 a year:
“The fact is not generally known, that with.
in three houra’ ride of Boston a large and
profitable business has been carried on ever
since 1848, along the seashore, and which is
nothing more or less than “farming under
the a Everywhere upon the. coast of
eastern New England may be found, about
ten feet below the water-mark. the lichen
known as carrageen, the “Irish Moss” of
commerce. It may be torn from the sunken
rocks anywhere. and yet the little seaport of
Sictuate is almost the only place in the coun-
try where it is gathered and cured. ' This
village is the great centre of the moss busi-'
ness in the country, and the entire Union
draws its suppliese from those beaches.
Long rakes are used in tllling this marine
farm, and it does not take long to fill the
.many dories that await the lichen, torn from
its salty, rocky bed. The husbands and
fathers gather the moss from the sea, and the
wives and daughters prepare it for market.
Soakit in water and it will melt away to
jelly. Boil it with milk and a delicious
white and creamy blanc—mange is the result.
The annual product is from ten to fifteen
thousand barrels, and it brings $50,000 into
thetown, which sum is shared by some one
hundred and fifty families. Its consump ,
inthe manufacture of lager beer is
large, and the entire beer interest in the
country draws its supplies from the Sictuatc
beaches, as the importation from Ireland has
almost ceased. It is generally known that
the moss, as an article of'food, is called "Sea
Moss Fariue." o

increasing.
The town is now in a flush of excitement
over the retirement of Mr. Pullings as presi-
dent of the new Northern Pacific Railroad.
Now that it has fallen under a new director-
ship they think the terminus will be at New
Tacoma here on the Sound, and people are
now coming in here very fast and buying up
lots and giving large prices for them. Lots
on the Main street sell now for more money
than they do in the best part of your town,
and lots way back in the timber, uncleared,
sell anywhere from $100 to $300.per lot of
25 feet front and 100 deep, and many think
that it will become the Liverpool of America.
What the future will do for this place Time
will have to be the philosopher. Her vast
area of beautiful timber will probably in all
likelihood make it a great town, as there is
nowhere upon this coast such fine timber to
be had as here. Her cedar is perhaps the
finest in the world and as lasting as Eastern
locust. The writer has seen cedar trees 12
feet in diameter and over 250 feet high, and
as straight as a reed. 'The site upon which
New Tacoma is built was one vast field of
timber and all her recent lots are now strewn
with the wrecks of the fallen timber which
can be had for the hauling of it away, and
the bulk of them have to pay to get their
lots cleared.
If all the timber could be in some Eastern
market that is now going to waste within
one mile of Tacoma, it would make one in-
dependent. The climate here is not very
warm for the three weeks so far that a
record I’ve kept, at no time has the mercury
' gone above 70 degrees at noon, and generally
you want your winter clothing on; the‘nights
are always very cool and mornings too. The
winters they say are remarkably mild, hav-
ing but very little snow, and one can work
out of doors all winter without his coat.
The Indian reservation extends up to the
town and is upon both sides of the Yulullap
River for miles. They have the best farm—
ing lands in the country and are a thrifty
class of eople. They have a nice large
church situated about two miles from Taco-
ma on the Yulullap River, also a school and
a shop for repairing their wagons,plow‘s, etc.
The Indians of this northern region are a
short, thick race, similar to those you will
meet in Alaska ; at some future time I
will write you upon that valuable aclplisitiou
to our territory. Those that you see
in Mexico are tall and erect and six feet high
and to look at does not resemble the race ex-
cept in their high cheek bones and color.
They are getting along very nicely on their
reservation. They have been taught to work
and till their fields.and everywhere you may
go you will see their fields well tilled and the
crops on the virgin soil looking well. The
river affords them an abundance of salmcn
as the river for the coming three months is
alive with them, and they cure them in near-'
ly the same manner as they do in British
Columbia, of which I wrote in one of my
former letters. These fish afiords them with
sufilcient food of that kind until they arrive

place to live in and perhaps no pleasanter
anywhere to' be found 6n ‘the Sound than
here. The scenery here is perfectly grand,
equal in grandeur and beauty to the Juras’
of Switzerland or the Sierras of this country.
They rise in slow gradations from the foot-
hills totthe lofty mountains that send their
snow-capped peaks through the clouds into
heaven’s canopy. .

goes to about every port of South Ameri-
ca, and more than 5,000 tons of coal is
shipped every week from this wharf to San
Francisco and other ports; her veins are
apparently inexhaustible, and some weeks
more than 8,000 tons have been shipped from
here. It is loaded directly from the cars to
the ship and saves two handlings. The road
runs along into the sea a short distance and
the vessels come alongside where the coal is
dumped through a shuts into them. The
coal coming from Seattle is considered the
best upon this coast, and the trade is rapidly
There is a road built out to the
coal fields some thirty miles from Tacoma,
where it is taken and run here on the Sound
to be loaded on the vessels. Coal is but lit-
tle used here as wood can be had for the cut-
ting, and not four miles from the town there
are extensive tracts of timberland belonging
to the government that can be obtained under
the homestead act. There is a fine opening
for young men who wish to avail themselves
of so fine an opportunity. For grass and
cereals of all kinds there is but one place on
this coast to excel it, and that is Walla
Walla, which is the best grain producing
valley on this continent, lest it should be the
valley of Mexico.
You need have no fears of there being a
drought here in this country for such a thing
is unknown. You have an abundance of
rain, and the water you drink is pure and
ice cold the year round, and is as fine as that
which you will get at Yale or Carraboo,
British Columbia. You can build a house
as nice as any there are in the town for $300.
There are not five houses here that will ex-
ceed that price except the hotels. You can
buygood lumber anywhere from $3 to $11
per thousand, and as they do not try to out-
do each other here in the construction of
their dwellings one need not be so particular,
and again the winters are more like your No-
vembers, so they need not be compelled to
‘fix them so nicely as at the East where the
winters are severe.
To young men just- starting out in life
this is a fine place to come to, much bet-
ter than California, and a much better living
can be obtained. Here you do not have eight
months of dry weather, but rain when you
need it, and cattle and sheep are all looking
well; they never get anything during the
winter but what they browse and obtain.
Within the coming ten years Washington
Territory will become not only a great grain
producing but cattle producing state also.

A Virginia negro has recently taken out a
stout for a fire escape Which is composed of
llattice work that can be shut up into very
small space. or extended into a safe ladder,
and can also be used as a pike to throw in
tottering walls. The escape is already in use
in Pennsylvania, and is the first article psi-

there may be no reasonable probability that
I shall ever sit under that man‘s vine or fig
tree. The vine, especially, would be alto.
gether figurative without the material support
of a veranda. As good a rule would be, in
building first make your piazza, then attach
a house to it. o
The in-door parlor is sure to be provided
for with usual amount of sofas and draperies;
but the outdoor is too often like u rent—the
accident of a day. “Shall we run out a rail-
ing here and a few steps, and have a veran—
da ?” asks Paterfamilias, in a dubious sort of
way, and his wife ' usually assents, for she
does not dislike the idea; although. she
would sooner part with this appendage than
give up the valuable inclosurc at thc back of
the kitchen, which is so particularly handy
as a sort of store house and a place for the
doing of odd jobs.
The enthusiasm comes from the girls who
know the value of a front piazza with a thick
green curtain of honeysuckle and 'wi‘ria,
making a shady retreat through the long June
days, and the torrid August noons,—fragrant
like carefully kept linen, with delicious
country smells,-—clover and fresh bay, in the
place of lavender and rose—leaves,—strong
distilled sweetness of woodbiue, faint whiiIs
of clematis and roses.
And when the moonlight comes and traces
a latticework of leaves on the piazza floor,
and touches with a lambent light each spray
and corner,
“Making earth's commonest things appear
All romantic, poetic, and tender,”
the outdoor parlor is in its glory. It is the
most delightful, dreamy lounging—place,
where the odor of fragrant Havanas is apt to
mingle with the honeysuckle, and the steps
are frequently occupied by half-visitors who
could scarcely nerve themselves up to the
formula of a regular call. How charming is
its twilight darkness to a class of people who 7
do most of their conversation_in whispers,
and who areseldom characterized as great
talkers,—who look upon the brightness of
the in-door parlor and its animated groups
without any feelings of envy, assured that
whatever good times there are in the world
they are having them! What would lovers' do
if there were no piazza?
Some piazzas are simply an exasperation;
so narrow that the steps rudely crowd the
front door, instead of keeping their distance,
as they should do, and only crossing the front
of the house. This is a great mistake; there
should be at least two sides to a veranda, to
allow of one corner, and three if possible;
while it should certamly measure four yards
in width. We are speaking now of the
piazza for a moderate house—moderate in
every way. Hudson River castles, and simi- ’
lar mansions elsewhere, have their full com-
plement of generous verandas; it is the mid-
dle-class houses that suffer. -
We recall one of these mansions, with its
magnificent piazza, on which many happy
.hours have been spent ; the. delicate trellis-
wOrk forming Moorish‘arches, each of which
framed an exquisite picture of living green.
When flooded with moonlight,the place took
on a tone of superhuman beauty. There
were many accessories, too, on that piazza—
things out of the common way; and selected
with an artistic idea of coloring. Hanging
baskets were suspended from every point of
the arches, and their tangled vines were
masses of verdure and blossoms; while
rustic stands filled with plants stood, not in
the way of promenaders, but well back
against the house. Scarlet cushions on backs
and seats made the bamboo chairs luxurious,
and a pile of Moorish cushions in one
corner arrested the eye and fascinated the
sense.
poppies to account for their sleep-charming
powers; while the arabesquc embroidery on
ascarlet ground which adorned them, and
the rug spread out below, were a most suc-
cessful imitation of Moorish splendor.
This curious couch, on which one half sat'
half reclined, was quite in demand among
the inmates and visitors on those intolerable
nights, which are not at all like angels’ visits,
between the 20th of June and the 20th of
August; and the hostess would amiably
wish that she had six Moorish beds instead
of one. But a single duplicate of the novel-
ty would have'spoiled the effect. so far as
appearances went.
As a general thing, the furniture of our
outdoor parlorsdoes not receive suflcient
consideration; it is either not picturesque, or
it is uncomfortable. A rustic chair, uncush-
ioned, is, to a certain extent, picturesque ona
piazza, but it is not comfortable; whilea
bamboo settee is neither one nor the other.
Camp-chairs with gay-colored seats are very
desirable. if the color and design are good;
and two or three cushions in a corner will
make a very good substitute for the Moorish
pile. A bright-colored Afghan thrown over
the pile, or on the end of the settee, adds
much to the effect.

Table d’Hote Abroad.
Breakfast on the continent always means
only bread and coffee; to the laboring peo-
ple it means a bowl of broth and a bit of
bread, or bread alone. The American, how-
ever, will find himself served with butter,
and eggs or meat, unless he has previously
ordered a “plain breakfast," when he will re-
ceive the usual bread and coffee. The noted
table d’hote is perhaps the least susceptible
'of change. It usually is servedat six o’clock
an hour when the day’s work is over, and the
meal can be taken at leisure. It is the social
meal of the day, and all the guests of the
hotel are expected to meet at the table. It
requires never less than an hour, oftener two
and unless your company is entertaining, it is
a long and dreary process.
Perhaps you have been told that there will
be ten or fifteen courses, and if uninitiated,
you have your mind made up that for once
you will have your usual "square mes ;” but
when the waiter, with neck tie and shirt
front of immaculate whiteness, brings you a
small piece of bread and a dish of alightly
colored water called soup, you proceed with
quiet resignation, with the belief that you
‘will have the dinner presently; but your on—
riosity is only the more aroused when the
plates are changed, and after a long and
dreary waiting y0u receive a very small bit
of fish; then the table is cleared again, and
you are served with a bit of chicken; like a
true American, you have dispatched your
bread long enough since, and you take chick-
en and “play it alone; but you conclude it is
“passing-strange" when you learn that but-
tered chestnuts and nothing else, or a bit of
' cheese alone. will be served for a course, and
so you continue for an hour or two in patient
expectation of the meal that never comes.

What wandering fancy thither want,
And lingered there surprised? '
Ah, no mn's land! oh, sweet estate,»
Illimitably fair. '
No measure, Wall, or bar or grate.
' Secure as sky or air!
No greed, no gain; not sold or bought,
Unmarred by name or brand:
Not dreamed of, nor desired, nor sought,»
No visioned, “no man’s land." . ._
Suns set and rise, and rise and set,
Whole summers come and go;
And winters pay the summer’s debt,
And years of west wind blow:
And harvests of wild seed-tiniest"),
And seed and fillagain: ‘
And blossoms bloom at blossoms’ will,
By blossoms overlain:

Thy wild sweet charm who sees?
The stars look down: the birds fly over,
Art thou alone with-these P

Who left no trace to tell? .
Thy secret we shall not discover,

To My Dog “Blanco.”
BY J. G. HOLLAND.
My dear, dumb friend, low lying there,
A willing vassal. at my feet,
Glad partner of my home and fate.
My shadow inJhe street.
I look into your great brown eyes.
Where love and loyal homage shine.
And wonder where the difierence 1ch
Between your soul and mine!
For all of good that I have found
Within myself or human kind,
Hath royally informed and crowned
Your gentle heart and mind.
I scan the whole broad eartharound
For that one heart which, leal and true,
Bears friendship without and or bound,
And find the prize in you.
I trust youasltrustthe stars;
Nor cruel loss, nor scoff of pride,
Nor beggsry, nor dungeon- ,
Can move you from my side!
Aspatient under injury
As any Christian saint of old,
As gentle as a lamb with me,
But with your brothers bold;
More playful than a frolic boy,
More watchful than a scutinel,
By day and night your constant joy
To guard and please us well.
I clasp your head upon myvbrcsst—
The while you whine and lick my hand—
And thus our friendship is confessed,
And thus we understand 1
Ah, Blancol did I worship God
As truly as you worship me,
Or follow where my Master trod
With your humility.
Did I sit fondly at His feet,
As you, dear Blanco, sit at mine,
And watch Him with a love as sweet,
My life would grow divine!

Squire Cecil, at his high-arched gate
Stood with his son and heir;
Around him spread his estate.
Near rose his mansion fair.
And when a neighbor ragged, lad,
Unlearned, passed that way.
The father turned, and to the lad
These kindly words did say:
“ There goes poor Huggins! Ah,mynn,
How thankful we should be
That our republic gives a chance
To fellows such as he 1"

Miss Margins blazed in jeweled light,
And swept in silken sheen:
Her courtiers thought a maid so bright
And beauteous ne’er was seen.
Aloft she held her haughty head,
- Surveyed her Paris clothes;
“And I must patronize," she said.
“Miss Cecil, I suppose.
“She’s poor, she teaches, has no style!
In Eurdpe, now — but oh!
In’this republic, we’re compelled

A Romance ', of the Nineteenth
Century.
It’s a chilly day whcn'tWO lovers can ’
Not get the best of the'girl’s old man. .
Her dad approved of the young man's
Position and character. '
And yet o’crthrew all their fine plans,
And would not let him marry her.
Said he, with a smile quite pleasant:
“Just wait awhile if you will, .
For to marry just at praent,
My daughter’s to juvenile.
But if she waittill she collars ‘
The age that may suit my whim
Her full weight in silver dollars,
I shall give withher to him,
Who weds her.” This didn’t dam
The lovers. They formed a plan
By which they thought they could hurry
The whim of the stern old man.
The tourist who visits Tunis
This singular fact doth tell: _
, The girl who most like the moon is,
In shape, is the reigning belle.
And the ladies of that nation
On being fair formed intent
, Have found out a kind of ration
That will make them corpulent,
And this maid in view of gaining
In weight, so her dad she’d scare,
Began on a course of training
With the Afric bill of fare.
And the father wonder-stricken
,Aud filled with great amaze,
Saw his slender daughter thicken
, Eighty pounds in fourteen days.
gAnd he saw if long she grew so,
i She'd claim on her wedding day
',A fearful pile. Sober trousseau
. He ordered made, right away.
Though married and blessed with money,
Not happiness yet she's found,
She has ceased to think it funny
.. To be seven feet around.
And most anxiously she’s looking,
2 Far ”and near and high and low,
:For the land where they have cooking
That will make her thinner .
