IN THE FAMILY JAR. YOUNG AMERICA. By Carolyn Wells. Fourth of July, they say, sir,Is Independence Day, sir,But really I am certain that there mustbe some mistake;For people say, Be quiet! And, I wont have such riot! At every teeny-weeny noise that I maychance to make. Why, when my gun exploded,(I thought it was nt loaded),My mother said, You naughty boy, nowstop that fearful noise! And then our cannon-crackers(And my ! but they were whackers !)Made grandma say, Oh, mercy me!you must nt do that, boys ! You re much too young to handleA bomb or Roman candle,They always say when I get near to wherethe fireworks are;And for a little rocketI put in Bobbys pocketMy father just now set me down insidethe family jar. The caution and the warningBegin at early morning:Its Dont do this! and Dont do that!and so, unless I mayChoose my own celebrationFor the birthday of our nation,I dont see why I ought to call itIndependence Day! 814
