Now there was one John, whose surname was

was made the second R"sr in the Kingdom.
10 Now in the seed month ofhis reign. the King

To Barbacuss and shows;

And smeerS on his nose.
At routs and meetings, day and night,
His aid was eer in storei
He sat sometimes upon tree,
Sometimes beside the door.
But death, which comes to ALL at last
Came to this same old cooni
In Maryland he caught cold,
And fell down in swoon.
A gentle breeze from Jerseys shore
Revived his hopes awhile,
And they who watched him, say that DER
His face there passed smile.
The last that e'sr lit up his eye.
For from the Keystone, thsL,
A warning voice broke on his ear,
And he smiled not again.
But raising up his long thin face,
He Whispered faint and low,
"Oh. bear me to my native land,
My native O>hi.o."
He Spake no more, but straghtway foil
Into another swoon;

That came to this old coon.
AT length tho broad Ohio passed
Meath 'Ociober sky"
Under a spreading buckeye tree
They laid him down to die.
They conveyed him TO the Empire State,
And round hlm raised their host.
But found that here we'd sealed his fate;
He then gave up the ghost"
Sadly around him clored his friends,
Not gold nor art might save
And he who was so mighty once
Now fills a racoon's grave.
