A REPLY TO "a ApELE FOR ARE
Adrcst Several Years 70 TO the Old Sex
tunt, by n Casper.

Poor sexiani years I've waited all in vanc
For somebody to SPEAK word Tor YOU
That Casper, that ilttcrary Teller
Who cooicnt spell no more than poor white,
(Only they coodcut at all ami dddcnt no
Ills education had been much neglected.
Now l. thank my stars and parents.
No how TO SPELL I'm from 400 lnglind
In which stands liuStlng, which you know Is the
Literary hubb OF the SOLO system
Bosing where every mothers son is born
wlth Mtbster's unabridged III his side pochi +;
And cries for grannls ~ other young unS
Cries for nap Where the Llrl Mayr as he shave
hissclf
says To his glass. | shave Bosting Mayrl
Where the hack drivers rays, must behave,
drive a Bo:t,ng hack! \ thc boot blacks say
This ere Is Boosting durt that brush OH
BOsting, where people brevc IN just one thing
one unit, " that's why they're uniiarans
Bost.nqs tho unit In their Rcthmatics.
Aud 50 III ought To no how 10 spell
But this H. a dgreshun, sol down
To anscr that are Gaspcts apec for are,
III do 1t IN / words Folks don't want air
YOn incident say they do. say they don't
AMI will prove 1t too. Jest look at babys;
See how the muses. rop Elm he'd and foot
In rOals and rOas OF flannel, so that once
woman who mad kcrrcd her habc all mite
In the carrs, unroalch II, and twas dei
And you may say 1t dde FOR want OF breth;
Twaiit no such thing; and so yon, incident crow
The far, is end OF the roal was Just like tOther
And She had held II rOng end up all night,
And tnat had Killed 1t. The Doctor said,
"lnvcrsion caused tendency !, the branc:'
Which seriingly was likely. That's what killed II.
No. Sant OF pure are don't Kill babys,
Nor gronc folks either or else why
Are many alive who 60 20 chcrch;
You say there amt no air there, and It's true.
Look nj the cherchcs IN The city. Look
At Dr-s cherch in Detroit or look 10 hum
I've never found much air IN any cherch
Except Ward BeeChers yet see how folks live,
And sleep as well there as they do to hum.
Aud II breth Of alr chance to git ill.,
See how the wiinmln cringe and flX their shawls I;
tn big man gits up 10 stop the crack,
Ky puttiuthe bnendin winter down.
And then too there's the cars DID you ever Kit
Into carr at daybrakc, that was fIll
OF folks who'd en- shet up III II all mite =?
Ana was they ded" and was there any air,
Except what had been drawn u 1000 times
Through 40 pairs of lungs, and snored through 10
noses?
Dd,nt YOU feel as ef you'd got into
1he black hole of Calcutty and when you
Raced up sash 10 git u hrel of air,
Dnicnt MAIDEN with u case Knife nose,
and nostrums iilled with snuf, with piping voice,
Cry out, q She that now or shall dye =.
Then see the steclnhDats, aud the slccpin cars
Upon the railway. the paasha cars
thai people rave about and amt thew titc.
ask You Couid a brcth OF air get IN
Even Of twas so disposed? and don't folks ride
In I'm all night, and call en- splendid too
Nor sag word about the want OF air:
Its my belief the dcac0ns IN our cherch,
And most Ui the congregation could live
tgr water r as L i04g as Ggi, IhSy don't need air.
WHY when folks is SICK, Jest see the plncs
Thcy take TO keep The air out; and then look
Al all those folks in cIttys who live down
In sui rs under suffers, in the ground,
And they don't dye ; they have big iamalys.
VIM steel as cute as them hat sleep out ,lorcs
On the sidewalks above. LOOK al CUurthUuscs,
Jaiud lGil To hear some criminal case tried
The hfctts ant sweet. and the men amt over nice
But do The lawyers and the Judges dye:
No, no. tell you, sections aiut 10 blame
WHEN folks rant air they'll git It no mistake
yuu say, Jest let Il little air INTO our church,
and see how II will rouzc the people mp
That's Jest what they don't want. They go to cherCli
To dew their doOty, and TO take their rest.
They think its rite TO rest day nI.
and VIII do they want streak of cold mir
BLOWN on EN- for, to make EN- uncomfortable?
So Mister Casper you jest shet your he'd
what you've sed proves too much for eff twas troO
That folks dye without air, we'd ali be died.
Now we amt ded, argO, your fax amt trnO--
Pure air amt necessary to life I've proved It,,
BY your own shown but rdrmH is,
People can live as long as they are rdrm.
and folks That think as you do better take
pew up In the belfry and then they'll be
Above all fecr OF smuthcrin. Fare well.
ARE TIE.
