/ REMEMBER.

I remember, I remember,
When I just began to creep,
How | crawled straight into mischief
How | wouldn't go to sleep
How I pulled the table linen
With its contents, On the floor,
How my mother spanked me for it,
Till my tender flesh was sore
I remember, I remember,
When FIRST began to talk;
And I also well remember
The day ! tried to walk;
Firm I grasped old Jowler's collar,
When be gave sudden hop,
So into pan Of water,
Jowler split his child "ker slop."
I remember, remember,
When [ used to 90 to school,
How [ kept watchful eye upon
The masters rod and rule;
How cut up monkey shines,
Whene'er his back was turned
How | used to catch it,
When I'd not my lesson learned
I remember, I remember,
When went hooking peaches,
How the dog came out and caught me,
By the surplus of the breeches;
How hung on to the bushes,
How the dog hung on to me,
Till my crying brought man out,
Who fogged me "orful-lee."
/ remember, I remember,
When che girls used to kiss,
How | thought it rather funny,
But it gave no extra bliss;
Now it seizes me with rapture,
Now it fills my soul with joy,
Yet with manhood's blissful pleasures,
Would that were still boy.

YANKEE GIRLS.

The Yankee girl forever. She is al
ways of the right stamp. Her nature
rings with the sound of the true metal.
She is good at heart, and hand and soul.
What is a golden thing too, she is A .
merican. She won't be s'anything else. .
Place her in Egypt, in Greenland, in
China, in Russia, the South Sea-any
where, and she is still the same, the
Yankee, the American girl She is born
so, lives SO, dies SO. Her children are
American. They draw American milk
from her breast and as they grow up
they are mentally fed on American prin-
ciples.
The Yankee girl. She is prize, a
queen, an empress. Her like you don't
get everywhere. She is reality-a
fact-an institution made up of good
and noble qualities not a bundle Of
calico, whalebone, prunella, cotton, paint
and powder. Not she. Far different
worlds better.
The more Yankee girls we have the
better They are the salt and flower,
the beauty and strength Of the country.
Pin the fact on the wall-motto it out
on the banner. The Yankee girl for
ever. We say SO, any way.
