OSr AND FOUND.

A Story Of the Boyhood of the ''Wise Mer
of Gotham"
May be in Essex, may be in Kent
Or on the borders Of the Trent,
Somewhere they dwelt know not where,
These twice six men, so wise and rare.
Gotham was called their native town,
Search for it up, search for 1T down;
But though their dwelling we can not fix.
You now shall hear their clever tricks.
These men, when boys, went out to battle one
day.
A lovely morning in the month OF May.
The sun it shone upon the river bright,
While in thew plunged and swan with all their
might.
They dived and foated, shouting merrily,
And were as full of fun as boys can be.
But when the play all over, they were dressed,
They said among themselves: "'Twould sure
be best
To see IT, now we've had our pleasant game,
We are as many as when out we came
Then one began to count; but he with awe
Said that eleven, and no more, he saw.
He thought that he had told the lot;
To count himself he quite forgot.
"You must be wrong" another said. "Let me
Go through them, and they'll all come right,
you'll see."
Gaily he said: zone, two, three, four"-until
He reached eleven, when his heart stood stall
He thought that he had told the lot;
To count himself he quite forgot
Then each lad. thinking he could reckon best,
Tried, but to find eleven like the rest
Each. thought that he had told the lot
And each to count himself forgot.
Then it was truel they'd learned it to their
cost:
One of the merry party had been lost,
And now their fear and horror found relief
In loud lament aud tears of bitter grief.
just at this time traveller passed by
And sought to know the reason Of their cry.
ttHo, Gotham lads, " he cried, whats all this
clatter!
Come near, and tell me what there is the mat
ter
''Dear SIR" one answered, ''when we left our
home
Twelve of US did unto the river come,
But now eleven only can we find,
Yet know not which it is we've left behnd'
In chorus they all sobbed: ''Boo-hoo, Boo-hoo,
We see that one is drowned, we don't know
who
The traveller loudly laughed. my lads" said
he.
"'I'is really sad that you SO sharp should be,
For boys. they say who're SO uncommon clever
Live to grow up to manhood hardly ever
Now lie down on the ground in two straight
rows.
And in the sand make holes, each with his
nose."
When they little time thus still had laid
He babe them rise. and count the holes they'd
made.
o, then to gladness turned their deep despair,
For, looking ON the ground, twelve holes were
there.
To tell their JOY it would be vain to strive,
As they with rapture cried: Were all alivei
Thank you, kind sir, for finding our lost broth

''Right welcome, lads, /" the jolly traveller said,

mother''
And then he laughed and laughed and shook
