/PRE SCHOOLBOY'S DREAM.
A JOKE Mit THE JUVENILES.
Net many days hack, Mr. Archibald Sp' n
Received a long note fro n his little son John.
This letter was penned in a singular style,
And doubtless will cause my young readers to smile.
The epistle rues thus :
" Dear Papa and Mamma,
I'M happy to hear you're so well as you are;
The thoughts of returning (though strange it may seem(,
Have caused your delighted boy, Johnny, to dream.
Alethought Pother night that you gave a fine party,
And hailed my return in a manner most hearty.
The party Invited consisted of many ;
Tom, Harry, and Allek, and Percival Penny ;
And William, and Thomas, and Phlip, and Frank,
And Master Mat Middleton. all en the prank ;
And and Montague, Charley, and Frei,
And Alfred the small, with the curls on his head ;
And Joseph, and Sammy, and Jessie,
Arid Master George Gordon, remarkably dressy;
And Walter, and Willoughby, T.tus, and Tim,
And Samson and Simon, in vary good trim ;
And Julius, Anthony, Robert, and Wat,
Act many more names which I fear I've forgot.
And methought in my singular dream tly•re were none
-nut what were decked out by E. Moses and Son.
Ruch elegant tunics, such stylish hussars,
e looked like the galaxy studded with stars.
And methought we shouted with glorious noise,
.t;• Moses and Son are the men for the boys.
ICJ/ doubt after this Messrs. Moses will don
Tour very affectionate Son, JOIINNY SPONN."
