on account of the enormous strength

An Object Lesson for Children.
aor the TRANSCRIPT.
Once On time, it is str ange to say,
There was trouble anon g the stars,
The very depths of the Milky Way
We're stirred by their angry jars,
First, Venus was jealous of the moon
And drove her out of the sky:
She said that she took up too much room,
And carried her head too high.
Then Sirius snatched at Saturn's rings,
And Saturn fought for his own;
And Jupiter. reaching to settle things,
Just tumbled off his throne.
'.Ho rrsa Major" he cried aloud,
And Ursa Major came;
But stopped 20 learn in a wrangling crowd
Who was the one to blame.
Then Jupiter lost his patience quite,
And kicked the Bear forsooth
And the Bear gave back hug so tight,
That IT loosened Jupiter's tooth.
Stumbling, he clutched with all his might.
At Cassiopeia chair;
And she, half dazed with the sudden fright
Upset the Little Bear.
Star after star, all round the sky,
Reddened with angry blaze,
nigh
Grew pale with strange amaze.
Alas! Alas! Twas an evil sight.
If our boys and girls could see.
They would surely cry, as we'll they might,
How foolish they must be.
