Arbitrary English Language.

Wen begin with box, and the plural is
boxes,
But the plural of OK Should be oxen, not
t oxes.
The one fowl is goose, but two are
called geese,
Iet the plural. Of mouse should never be
mee5e,
You may find lone mouse Or whole
nest Of mice,
But the plural OF house is houses, not
hce.
II the plural Of man is always called men.
Why shoudn' the plural OF pan be called
pen?
The COW in the plural may be cows or
kline,
But bow if repeated is never called
bine.
And the plural Of VOW is vows, never
vine. IT,.
If J speak of foot and you show me
your feet,
And ! give you a boot, would pair be
called beet?
II one is a. tooth and whole set are
teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of both be
called beeth?
IF the singular is this and the plural is
tneSS.
Should the plural Of kiss ever be nick
named keese?
Then one may be that and three would
be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be
hose, ~..a.
And the plural of ca is cats, not cose.
We speak of brother and also Of breth
rem,
Bnt though we may say mother, we never
say methren,
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his,
him,
But imagine the feminine she, shis and
shisn1!
So the En- glish, think, you all will agree,
is the greatest language you ever did see.

Where leth the land Bohemia? -.
Is 1T enchanted ground?
Unto the place no guide or trace
Wag ere by searching found.
Yet many wander through 1t
In blindness or In scorn,
AND some there dwell who love 1t well:
They are. Bohe1nians born.
Here Ijett the land Bohemia!
Strange Light upon it beams,
This border land. whose outer strand
Melts in the sea OF dreams. ~
Behind us roars the real, >.
The world OF strife and din,
Our kindlier fate Is here to wait
Until our ships come In.
O'ershadowing Bohemia.
Fame. like mountain grand,
Piercing the skies, unlifting our eyes
From this, the lotos land,
The summit CLEANS IN splendor
And beckons spirits bold
F'ain would we go, get, ali! we know
The heights Of fame are cold.
Here. resting in Bohemia, IT.
Beside the waters still,
In meadows green. where Hippocrene
Winds rs little rill,
We deem IN pleasant places
Are cast our tines aud lives,
Where grace and heart are more than art
And chivalry survives.
