THE GUARDIAN.
the MONKEYS WEDDING.

The monkey married the babOou's sister,
Smacked his lip, aud then he Kissed her,
Kissed so hard lie raised u blister.
She set nP yell.
The bridesmaid stuck on some court plaster.
Ii stuck 80 INST IL couhln't stick any faster.
Wasn't that u sad disastrri
Pretty soon it got we'll.
What do sou think the bride vns dressed
iui
white game veil aud green glass breast
pin,
Red kid shoes; she looked quite interesting.
She was quite belle.
The bridegroom wore n blue shirt collar,
A black silk stock that cost dollar,
Large false whiskcrs, thr fashion Ia follow.
lie cut quite swell.
What do you think they had for supper'
Back-cycd beans and bread and butter;
Ducks in the duck house all in ilutter;
Picked oysters, too.
Chestnuts boiled AMI raw and roasted;
Apples stcwcd and onions toasted;
Music in the corner posted,
Waiting for the cue.
What do you think WAS the tune they dane.
cd to'
The drunken sailor and sometimes Jim
Crow.
Tails i'll the way and some got pinchcd, too;
Because they were too long
What do you think they had for fiddle!
An old banjo with hole In the middle;
A tambourlne made ont of n riddle;
And that's the end of my sous.
