e nose. Once when a youth was turned away By her he held most dear.He walked upon his feet—but now He walks off on his ear. We used to dance when I was young. And used to call it so ;But now they dont—they only sling The light fantastic toe. Of death we spoke in language plain That no one did perplex ;But in these days one dosent die— He passes in his checks. We praised the man of common sense ; His judgments good, we saidBut now they say : Well, that old plum Has he got a level head. Its rather sad the children now Are learnin all such talk;Theyve learned to chin instead of chat, An waltz instead of walk. To little Harry yesterday— My grandchild, aged two—I said, You love grandpa ? said he, You bet your boots I do. The children bowed to a stranger once : It is no longer so—The little girl, as well as boys, Now greets you with Helloa ! Oh, give me back the good old days, When both the old and youngConversed in plain, old-fashioned words, And slang was never slung. B Tavxos

Something short and pithy, different in character from the leadingnumber, is more desirable. It is believed the following selections will meet the generaland popular tastes. Other numbers in this volume (especially in the Little Folks Depart-ment when a child character is desired) will be found available. THE POOR INDIAN. Speak in an exalted tone until the last line is reached. Ob-serve and interpret the humor caused by the transition from thesublime to the ridiculous. r know him by his iaicon eye
