TIE HOT SEASON.

The folks, that on the first Of May
Wore winter coats and hose,
Began to say, The first Of June,
"Good Lord how hot il grows"
At last Two Fahrenheis blew up.
And killed two children small,
And one barometer shot dead
A tutor with its ball!
Now all day long the locust sang
Among the leafless ,ress;
Three new hotels 'parped inside out,
The pumps could only tpheeze
And ripe old wine that twenty years
Had eobwebbed DER in vain,
Came spouing through the rotten colks
Like JOYS best Champagne
The Worcester locomotives did
Their Tip in half an hour;
The Lowell cars ran forty miles
Before they checked The power;
Roll birthstone soon became drug
And loco foCos FELL;
All asked for ice but every where
SaHpetre was 10 sell
Plump men of mornings ordered tights,
But, ere the scorching moons
j Heir candle m0H'us haU grown ds foOSe
A. Cossack panla'oons
The dogs ran mad men could not try
II water they would choose;
4 horse fell dead he only left
-Four red hot, rusty shoes!
Blu, soan the people could not bear
The slightest hint Of fire;
Illusions 10 caloric drew
food Of savage ire
The leaves on heat were all torn out
From every book AT school,
And many blackguards kicked and caned,
Because they sad-"keep Cool"
The gas-light companies we're mobbed
The bakers all were shot;
The penny. press began 10 talk
or Lynching DocToR MORT;
And all about The warehouse steps
Were angry men in droyes,
Cracking and splntering through the doors
To smash the patent Stores!
The abolition men and maids
Were tanned 10 such hue,
You scarce could tell Them from their friend
Unless their e'c7 were BLUE;
And when left, society
Had burst its auciens guards,
And Braille.s,reet and Temple. Place
