OUTAGAMIR COUNTY PIONgER RECORD.
'Tis a joy to live in this climate,
Partaking its luxuries rare,
And feasting on its fruits so delicious
And breathe its salubrious air.
But there is a law of progression
And it should be gladly obeyed,
For when we leave Earth we shall euter
A School of a different grade.
God never intended his children
Should always remain upon earth,
Attached to contemptible bodies
He therefore gives each a new birth.
I know my transition approaches,
But let it come early or late,
From Appleton to Paradise
The change will be very great.
