CITY NOTES.
THE DIFFERENCE.


Behold, two friends go forth to-day;
Both are on pleasure bent;
One to the beach to take his way,
To watch the waves toss high their spray
The other through the town to stray
To ''see the elephant"
Now what's the difference 'twixt the two?
The answer comes with ease,
It's simply this: One sees the sights,
The other sights the seas.
