Quick, shut lie do;
Get up off dat TO-;
Come heah and mind de baby"
Ons night there came u fearful storm
Almost second food;
The river rose, q torrent swol'n
OF beaten, yellow mud.
It bit at it's embankments,
And Tapped them down in foam,
Till, surging through wide crevasse.
The waves seethed round :hei
home.
They scaled the high verandah,
They filed the parlors clear,
Till floating chairs and tables
Clashed against the chandelier.
Twas then Persimmons' granny,
Stout OF arm and terror proof,
By means of axe and lever,
Pried up the verandah roof;
Bound mattresses upon it,
With stoutest cords of rope,
Lifted out her fainting mistress,
Saying; Honey, dar is hopel
You, Jawge Washington,
Ihomas Jefferson,
Persimmcns, Henry Clay, be
Quick on dat raft,
Don't star like calf,
But take good cab oh baby!'
The frothing river lifted them
Out on its turbid tide,
And for awhile they aoated on
Together, side by side;
Till, broken by the current strong,
The frail raft snapt in two,
And Persimmons saw his granny
Fast fading from his view.
The deck.hands on steamboat
Heard, as they passed in haste,
A ohItd's voice singing in the dark,
Upon the waters wave,
A song of faith and triumph,
OF Moses and the Lord;
And throwing out coil of rope,
They drew him safe on board.
Full many stranger city
Persimmsns wandered through,
"A-tOtin' OBJ der baby" land
Singing songs he knew.
At length some CITY fathers
Objected to his plan,
Arresting as a vagrant
Our valiant little man.
They carried out their purposes,
Persimmons "'lowed he'd spile 'em.
So, sloping from the station-house,
He stole baby from the 'sylum.
And on that very afternoon,
As it was growing dark,
He sang, beside the fountain in
The crowded CITY park,
A rude camp-meeting anthem,
Which he had sung before,
While on his granny's fragile raft,
He drifted far from shore.

A lady, dressed in mourning.
Turned with a sudden start,
Gave ono GLANCE at the baby.
Then caught it to her heat;
While substantial shadow,
That was walking by her side,
Seized Persinmons by the shoulder.
And while. she shook him, cried:
