It's mighty strange, these modem tunes; how

1t seems just like the other day that Peter drove
a cart,
And worked at any sort of job to get little start;
Wen, now he's rich, and gone to live up in the
Western End;
But who have thought that Peter Jones would
slight so old a friend;
And there's that boy of Peter Jones, they say he S
''stuck-up' too.
And half the girls in Baltimore are making much

He was rather an notwithstanding in

store, the crowd sitting on the barrels
winked at each other and made re-

"Where did it come from ?" asked
one pointing at him.

"Touch it and see," remarked a

the rest, hammered the mans hat down

nose full Of molasses from barrel stand

The poor Christian took a small
volume from MS pocket and began
reading the scriptures in a drawing,

While he was engaged at this, the
crowd played all sorts of tricks on him.
One put some eggs in his pocket and
another mashed them.
Then the biggest man in the house
poured some oil on his hat and lighted
Then the clerk hit him under the
nose with Goldfish.
Then that man quietly put the volume
in his coat-tail pocket, and the clerk
went head first, into the mOlasses barrel.
When the biggest man in the house
picked himself from under the counter
it was next to an impossibllity to guess
where his nose left off and where the
Goldfish began. No. l made work for
the glazier, as he hit a ventilator in the
window. No. 2 Matched out half a bar

wondered how much it would cost to

Christian man remarked:
"The next time you folks pick me up

The clerk is waiting for them to come

they must have forgotten where the
