A MOSAIC.

When the fierce Atlantic pillows. with SUI

Rush up the sandy beach and dash against

When from the Polar regions comes the Frost

when for Christmas 70 csc and TURKEYS local
Statesmen shake the dice,
Aud in suburban ponds men fish for piCkercI
through the ice,
When of smoking wb skey punches men can
scarcely get enough,
II is then the gentle maiden wants ScalsFi
Icque and nun.
