THAT SISTER OF MINE.

Have you seen my sister Jennie,
With her wealth of golden hair?
With her face that seems so meek.
Though if close you look, mischiefs there >
Eyes that with mirth and fun sparkle
Free from. "what win people say,n
Is her air so plain and independent;
And she's happy all the day.
Trying some one to tease and bother.
For mischief and a little fun;
Then slipping away with face so sober,
You'd meier dream of what she's done.
If you like her It's very we'll;
If not, TO her tits just the same;
Your friendship she'll never seek,
Unless her az friend you wish TO claim.
Then she's friend that's true,
Kind as ever any one could desire;
Noble hearted, forgiving and forgetting.
You surely would her admire.
And Pm sure that ever she'll retain.
This happy air and independent way:
And thus life will she enjoy
Troubles come when they may.
And hope sometime you'll see her,
My story's trueness to confess;
But no fears have |. for you'll wish
Could you, THAT sister of mine,n to possess

the fire-hell rings calling the boys out for drill
and so few respond Whv this lack of zeal on
