An Uncommon Girl.

She knows no Latin, she knows no Greek,
But the purest American she can speak,
She knows the uses of her and she
And the proper places of | and me.
She doesn't use big words to tell
A story, although she can use them we'll;
In short, she's girl without prctense
With an ample supply OF common sense.
And I'd rather have her any day
Than the girl who can parlcy VOC frongsay.

At any manly sport

Went or with a loud report.
