And we'll help to reckon them up on the spot,

And marked their faces. and bruised their eyes,
And suffered other mishaps on this wise:
Jimmy's horse has lost its tan.
And bis wooliy dog, so curly ana Hali,

And JOhnny's drum

And is mute and dumb,

The petition was referred to the

commended the repeal of the reso-
