Seine Queer Names.

Among the names in StauntOn,
It's oft occurred to me,
That queerer names than We have
You seldom ever see,
| We have Foxes, Lyons and Campbells
That roam our town at will,
Halks and Birds and Bears and Cats
That spOrtsmen cannot kill.
There's Trout and SPOTS and Herring
too,
With Brooks and Piers and Hooks,
And yet the fishing's not so good
As some would think it looks.
Where May remains the year around,
And Elders wave and toss,
Where Fields with Berrys can be found
Without one getting Cross.
And here too we nave many Kings,
To make Mann Grave or Gay;
and Wheat and Wood that's not for
sale,
With Bells to give away.
There's Hogs-heads, Plains and Nails
and Cups,
In every part of town,
Wines in churches, Graves on streets,
And Greatheads do abound.
There's Whites and Blacks and Grays
and Greens,
And many shades of Brown,
And fruits that Grow in every month,
And Holiday the year around.
