The Whig standard. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1843-1844, 1844-05-14

MO. Il-Referring to the remarkable occurrence
IN which took place in my store, as related in the
Integencer and Standard of the 10Th utmo, have
had the curiosity again to conceal myself in my for
mer hding-place to ascertain il the midnight orgies
of my animated hats were still kept up was
quietly at my post before IL o'clock, (the hour at
which they made their previous appearance,) and
when that hour struck, expected to hear, before,
their muster-whiste for the counter but was dis
appointed; twelve o'clock passed of, and as the
time passed on, began to despair. should think it
was nearly one when fell into deep slumber, and
it was probably precisely at that hour when was
startled from above by the old muster-whstle in full
force, which was followed by brisk movement upon
the counter it appeared from the sound as if the
hats from the three animals had formed in triangle.
The buol was opened by the Otter, in the following
song, to the
TUNE OF I" Old Dan Tucker"
OHer.-When was in my flesh and blood,
And had my shanty built of mud
Oh! twould do your outlets good,
To see me trap my fnny food.
[Chorus from all the shelves.1
Get out of the way, all are trappers,
Get out of the way, all are trappers;
All set traps to fill their dishes #
We were trappd for sale at Fishs
Beaper.-Upon our rapid mountain stream,
At building dams was team,
And there, with possums, minks, and coons,
We daily danced our rigadoons.
Get out OF the way, all are trappers,
Get out of the way, all are trappers,
Yet still can shout each creature which is
Trapp'd and traf6cked at o. Fish's.
.Nutria.-The Pampas are the wilds for me,
There have frolick'd light and free,
Delicious fruits and fish abound
In Pampas diggins all around.
Get out of the way, all are trappers,
Get out of the way, all are trapPers,
We all were trapp'd to fill his dishes,
Such whale Orlando Fish is.
