The ticket business is just as honest
as nine-tenths Of tue business in New

to sell them fpr. what they cost Us; tha;l

genuine ticket; but OF course, we want

FANNY.

We often laughed at Fanny,
But we loved her while we laughed,
She was so odd mixture
Of simplicity and craft.
Y What'er she thought she uttered, '
And her words she g reckoned nou't t.v
Of the fine fash talk of London
Here was Yorkshire out and out!
While her little schemes of cunning,
Which she thought SO vailed, were still
AS obvious as the channel
OF the pnFest mountain rill,
Thus her heart being good and gentle,
And transparent all her craft,
We often laughed at Fanny
s But we loved her while we laughed II
A short life was my Fanny's,
And slight the warning given!
!. But her sins were those OF childhood, ~
And her spirit is IN heaven.
All through her words when dying,
S4 Ran vein of solemn thought;
d And we felt how wise was Fanny aY.
We had laughed more than we ought.
Yet even In those moments w..
Came out a phrase--a word
That reminded us OF periods Il
When the same with mirth was heard.
And we oft recall her sayings, .s $
Her playfulness and craft;
And flow-'tis odd we weep the most.
AT what the mostw laughed.
