IT'S \ curious fac. as ever was known,
But often in human nature shown,
Alike in the castle ana cottage,
That pride, like pigs of a certain brood,
Will manage to live and thrive on food
As poor as paupers' po.tage!
OF all the notable things on earth,
The queerest thing is the rridc Of birth,
Among our '.fierce democracy
A bridge across hundred years,
Without prop to save it from sncers--
Not even couple OF rotten piers
A thing for laughter, fiings ard jeers,
l. American aristocracy!
Depend upon it, snobbish friend,
Your family thread you can't ascend,
Dy sS sGfisa sapa il -nas.a s 20 apprensnd'
Or worse than that, your boasted line
May end in loop of stronger twipe,
That plagued somc worthy relation.
because You flourish in worldly affairs,
Do not be naughty and put on air:,
With in o.ent prido Of station!
Don't be proud and turn up your nose
At poorer peol lc in palmer clothes,
But learn for the sake OF your minds rero;e,
That oil proud H. h, wherever it grows,
