never thought much of Augustus Peedick,
he Is Thomas Jetferson's age, about II. his
moustache is if possible thinner than hisn,
should say whiter-only that is a i'm
possibility. He is jest the age when he
wants to be older, and when folks are
wllhn he should, for you don't want to call
him MIR. Peedick, and to call him bub as
you always have, he takes as a dedly in
suit. He thinks he is in love with Tirzah
which IS jest as bad as long as it lasts. ez
II he wuz-jest as painful to him, and to
her. As l said he sung these words in a
mournful and affectin manner.
When think of thee thou lovely dame

slah by saying so, he loves to have his own

member the words as I red, but the korus
ov each verse wuZ,-
'ohl languish for thee-oll I Ilanguish for thee,
Wherever that be
On, Oh! ohl am languishing for thee"
As 1 sed never sot much store by
Augustus Peedick, but truly everybody
