THE LEGEND OF CEREALINE.
“On the border of the forest,
Underneath the fragrant pine-trees,
Sat the old men and the warriors
Smoking in the pleasant shadow.
* * * * *
And whene’er some lucky maiden
Found a red ear in the husking,
Found a maize-ear red as blood is,
‘Nushka!’ cried they altogether,
‘Nushka! you shall have a sweetheart.’”
[Illustration]
HEALTHY were those red-skin warriors,
Old, but full of robust vigor;
They were in the best of humor
For they had enjoyed their dinner,
Which had gratified the palate,
Being chiefly Flakes of Ceres,
Served up as an Indian pudding.
Such a wholesome feast imparted
Energy and cheerful spirits,
Therefore did those ancient warriors
Laugh and joke the lucky maiden.
“Nushka! you shall have a sweetheart,”
Cried they; “you shall have a husband
To provide for and to cook for;
You shall make him cakes and muffins
Of white Cerealine to please him,
So that he will love you always.
You shall send and get a Cook Book,
From Columbus, Indiana,
That will teach you all the uses
Of the Flakes, in soups or puddings,
Bread or cakes or pies, or what not.
Nushka! you will both be happy!”
