To some extent, at least, performed the func-5
tious of currency, and helped 10 swell the
edectns volume greatly beyond the volume

With calm and solemn men,

A cloud began to rise,
And soon & storm was racing
There was tumult in the skies
Full wildly the lghtnines flashed
And shot afhwart the sky,
While the thunder drum of heaven
Ratified most majestica'ly.
The rains they beat upon the earth
In torrents most intense,
And seemed to say unto the niue,
Ills better you go hence.

But kept stifIened hp.
And, raising of his tail aloft,

The lightning danced a eallopade.
And seemed to say, Thou fool.'
And then shot out vindictively
And struck that cussed mule
And this was years and years ago,
Since when it's been a rule
OF lightning and the elements
To fight shy of the mule.
