awhile was at the corner Of 18th and + streets

The MAYNARD mansion on Pennsvlvani

THE CURB-sroNE BRoKRR.
Snffiy Snipp was a lender bold,
Who life at the curb stone spent,
And nothing pleased him that people did,
Not even his three per cent.
He damned the Yankees, but nothing lent
To the chivalry he had shaved;
And he damned the District government
That his native city was paved.
Pride he never could understand
And pity he never could find;
But he felt the kick his prentice boy
Once gave him somewhere behind,
And 1t stiDgs to- day in the self same place.
And rankle it ever will,
That the prentice boy is Governor,
And he on the curb stone still.
The only money that he ever spends
Is aye for revenge so dear,
The only object he has for friends
Is to whisper lies in their ear.
He signs petitions to Senators, =
He keeps newspaper cuss,
And his pinched little soul distills in ink
And libels anonymous.
His liens are first on the debtors door,
And he signs for a debtors jail;
He is first in the stews of usury,
And first at the bankTupt's sale:
And lie Kisses: " Here be lot OF mine
That is worth q hundred pence;
But the crimes of the Bode of Public Wuks
Will fetch it TO sixty cents,"
When a dollar and sixty cents he gets,
He hisses again in a trice:
" If it want for the Bode of Public Wuks
Two dollars had been my price!"
But the devil will pay full price for him.
And Sniliy expects il well,
To shave hot Goals for a hundred years
On the curbstOne board of-Judge Smell.
