Old Tony Snapps-cLum OF mine.

Who has 4 Siga abpve his door

And carries a palmer one beside
In rad upon his smelier;
Is rare chap to spin yarn.
In short, a CLEVER fellow !"

Ii was a candy pulIiac, .or
fon never wGuif li:.v, caught her
At any dancing froIic, since
shes Deacon Jones' daughter
And he is pow erful in his prayers
And comes down Ike "a mortar
On folks hat t1viri thcii-tpeS aud triaL
Things stronger than cold water
Ills daughters thought a trump Of girl
aid worth another dozea-
tSte says she walks with SnookS hcr;,u.,
leis q sort of cousin
i,Ie pulled Il piece OF candy, sii,S
As her own curls and yellow,
And said twas for her fNgritc beau:

That woa that prize aud swore twas worth
It's n,agkt in golden riches
\ nasty, melting, sticky thing

We'll; on that luckIass yesterday
pat 10 in my pocket.
And CREASED my shoes and fut Il, li.i,'
As amy Christmas rocket;
Then oat L stepped and twiIlod nay cane,
SprS as 4 broadway dandy

In giving me she candy.
There az his door, sat Tony Snaps,
Just Ike watciltuI Spider;
Come ia, says he even Temperance chaps
Can take twg Of cider
went and drank. and paid my iip:
Says Tony, You look yellow.
k'id this is weak, tsh-ua,pr stuff
Take my advice obi fellow,
iust try Il little warming sip
f something nict and mellow
viii loose your ioagUe, and thai. yong blood
And nahe your eyes shine brighter
Says i Il g,icss will just SO,
lt doesn't make lnc tighter"
mo fear OF that smiles h. again.
'fddike TO see the body
Whose head would turn with i,st a Sii,
OF harmless whskey toddy."
Aud so l slipped and talked ;l;l,t tapi,,i,
and Tony praised rlJ- trousers
Md said my coat was Just the thing
~ vest and boots we're rousurs
And Tony poured the aatt.ry on
And kept on sippiu,
Until the jugs began TO dance,
The bottles took to tippin'.
Aud then, thought twas time 10 10,
Bat as ! turned the corner
beard them little scamps of beys,
cryin', He's a gone"
| braced myself and tried To walk
Quite dilniiied ,.ad squarey,
Dut siiii the houses waltzed around,
couldn't see quite clearly
10 reach the Deacon's mansion took
IN ortui time, hy Craay
] knocked upon the entry door
And. as my knees feltshaSy, ef.f-.
| struck a graceful attitude
gainst the door still HANDY.
And felt to see il had lost, ~
The breast pin or the candy.
And pretty ssan, Beard Il step
- Co Efl-.tse-, Ii; n
n slusiling. sweet Maria.
Aud though l couldn't see her PLAIN,
knew that she was siniin',
And that warmed my . ifectons Up
Quite to the point of bilin';
Thinks /, I'll kiss those rosy lips,
And then III up andtell her;
She is the sweetest girl on earth
And the happiest fellow.
! threw my arms around her neck,
Kissed her long and loadiy.
vowed l knew Ulysses G,
Had never felt so proudly Ea..
| l4TlSt have barn down raj her nT:tSlt.
For down we came q sl,ravlin',
Her hoops a crackn' in the smash, ...
And she loudly squailiu',
heard 4 screachin', seuiiiin' noise
locked. and great Jeddiah
There stood my rival Simon SaooSs,
Supportin' of Maria
/ stared around in dumb amaze,
Looked down. and saw--Oh Loddy
d made the orfallest Inis take,
Along OF whisky toddy.
Twas fat old lady Jones, Id kissed,
a good three hundred FOUNDER,
No wonder that my arms had met
But Just half way around her
Aud there she lay. her hoops wreck,
Ana she loudly sqaailin'
Shocks with his arms around Maria,
A kcen;n' her from falliu'
Swooned away and knew no more
Until this morning carly,
| wax ell up in the caabeose
4 feein' sad and surly,
Aad Jest as soon as get out
Inean to thrash old Tony,
Mud then l ii cut this Spoenyilic dead
And 60 to C..liforny.
And 50, take warming by M tate.
Take warning every body:
And don't you mind the chap that talks
