BLUE GRASS BALLADS 37 |

"Oh, yes, indeed! I hearn some talk
'Bout nominatin' Bright; But he will hatter walk the chalk
Ef he gets thar all right. Still, howsumdever, ef we kin,
The voters up ow way Will work a scheme to git him in,
At town on county cote day."

Or anything of note, That takes some leisure time to fix,
It's set for county " cote "— Election time, just now and then—
But whether grave or gay, 'Tis oftenest, among these men,
" In town on county cote day." |

Thro' chinks were streaming rays of charm In yellow shafts of light.
An old gray white and an old gray black Were sitting by the blaze |
