THE PUNCTUATION POINTS.

Six little marks from school are we;
Very important, all agree,
Filled to the brim with mystery,
Six little marks from school.
One little mark is round and small.
But where it stands the voice must fall,
AT the close of a sentence, all
Place this little mark from school!
One little mark, with gown a-trailing,
Holds up the voice, and, never failing,
Tells you not long to pause when mailing
This little mark from school:
II out Of breath you chance to meet,
Two little dots, both round and neat,
Pause, and these tiny guardsmen greet
These little marks from school:
When shorter pauses are your pleasure,
One trails his sword-takes half the measure,
Then speeds you on to seek new treasure;
This little mark from school:
One little mark, ear-shaped, implies,
keep up the voice--await replies"
To gather information tres;
This little mark from school; .
One little mark with an exclamation,
Presents itself to your observation,
And leaves the voice at an elevation,
This little mark from school, 7
Six little marks Be sure to heed US;
Carefully study, write and read US;
For you can never cease to need us,
Six little marks from school
