last nightshook the mud OF this "blarsted'
place from Oft his brOgues, and took his
everlasting departure for the placid
waters Of the Calumet, where he can ru'
inmate and ponder ON Sow it was done,
And then we have lost Allcock. This al
most strarts the moisture from our eyes,
but sad rs it is, We realize that
liz Is gone lie Is gone
Like ~ gallant 80 lrrr,
| tray cap Un his head
| And his sCu' by his knee;
| While his gray ual-tails llullcrGl,
surely something he mullcnN,
liz al least must have uttered
a farewell 10 me.
And should he ever return again wcsin.
Cercly hope he may be fortunate enough
to meet with no accident, and from his
past experience keep his head shut and
he wont be found out so easy.
