OLD SIR TODDY.

IUgE-O OH Dan Tucker.
Core Ell We who are fond Of singing,
Les IA set snHs ringing,
Sound the chorus loud and hearty
And We II make joyial party.
Get out of The way Old Sir Toidy
YOU'VE drunken thie>isn body.
Some love rum seine love brandy,
And some drink whate'er comes handy;
But we'll lump it in a body,
And we'll call it Old Sir To-day.
Get out of the way, &c.
He who drinks cold water only,
Ne'er will leave his fircsids lonely;
But his home happy place is,
With its clearly smiling faces.
Get out Of the way, &c.
All who wish for bones to bless them,
All who wish the girls TO kiss them,
Hark while soberness is DER US,
Here's the song and this the chorus,
Get out of the way, &c.
Rum II makes botheration,
Deadens all the circulation,
Kills the soul and kills the body,
All is done by drinking toddy.
Get out of the way, &c.
Then we used to sll get merry,
Drunk on rum and corned on sherry;
Now we've drink us sweet as honey,
Without price and without money.
Get out of the way, &c.
Satan saw his trade was failing,
Heard no more the widows wailing,
Let his imps about US yelling,
Don't stop, don't stop, keep on selling
Get out Of the way, &c.
True you once did men bsmboozle,
With temptation you did fondle;
Boast you may that you have done it,
We've reformed and you ''can't come it.
Get out of the way, &c.
Now my friends come stop your drinking,
Health is gone, your fortunes sinking;
Come and own that you're mistaken,
Sign the pledge and save your bacon"
Ge, out Of the way &c.

PERSEVERANCE AND ENTERPRISE. -
There has been for week past at differ
ent hours Of the day, on the stoop of the
Astor House, a lad of sixteen, exposing
for sale a basket of soft clothes brushes,
whose ready command OF language for his
customers recently attracted our notice in
passing, and convinced that he was a
shrewd Yankee lad, we entered into con.
versaiion with him and gradually drew
from him a brief narrative of his life,
which developed the possession and prac.
tee OF untiring industry crowned as ii ev-
et is when united to perseverance,, with
the most brilliant success. Like many
great men before him, he was ushered in
to his teens while performing the lowest
duties of printing Office 10 Boston, here
by activity and prudence ne acquired and
laid by the necessary means for lnduiging
his own trading powers. His first effort
was at the funeral services Of the lamen.
ted Harrison, where he realized very
snug prof: from the sale Of mourning bad
ges, and from that time, with cunning
and judgment that would do honor to
much older heads, he has taken advaa-
tage of every exciting breeze 10 wait him
still nearer 50 the goal of his ambition.
He accompanied the Boston Delegation TO
the Baltimore Convention, where his rea-
dy wit commanded for his purse the most
substantial compliments, and at every
crowded assembly, social or political, like
the Rozor-slrop man, he is on tho spot.
During the helgh, Of the season just gone,
he was at Nahani, Newport, Saratoga,
Niagara, and even at Montreal during the
recess. lie has $500 deposited in the Sa.
virgs Bank Of his native city, and if his
health be continued he will soon double
that sum, for he is driving very brisk
business in his present line. During
Change hours he is in Wall-stree,, al
ways ready 10 crack a joke or sell a
brush. ~ Y. Tribune.
