ANOTHER PARADISE LOST.
From Laurel Wreath To Crown ofThorns

Come, all ye sons of freedom, and listen
to my lay
OF one who raised the devil in old Manila
bay;
His name was George Dewey, a Yankee
bred and born.
Who lived where wooden nutmcgs as bosom
studs were worn.
lie met the naughty Spaniards and sunk
their armored craft,
With Uncle Sammy's popguns he raked 'em
fore and aft,
And as they divided for safety down in the
bay so deep,
lie smiled and said "McGinty will have
place to sleep"
The people heard the story, and loudly did
they whoop
The famous bay they likened unto bowl
OF soup,
And flags upon the breeze in brilliant colors
d.w
As neighbors asked each other; "Now, what
did Dewey dew ?"
The men went into sPasms, the women
smiled and cried
Aud named their babies for him with pa
triolic pride,
And all the nation hollcred and yelled
approving things
Until the clouds up yonder shook vapor
from their wings
When homeward he came sailing, each
nation dipped its flag,
Except the sulking Spsniard, who sat and
chcwed the rag,
And when at last he landed upon his native
shore
The cheers Of joyful millions quite drowned
the cannons' roar
The men Of rank embraced him, the people
squeezed his hand,
The ladies tried to kiss him with lips that
failed to land,
And over all the country tho pat conundrum
few;
Gf Dewey didn't dew it, pray what did
Dewey dew ?"
Amid the great excitement, right meath the
heros nose,
Appeared a little fellow whose form was
shy Of clothes:
Agodcn bow he bended and sent a love.

Right through the naval trappings into that
valiant heart
Then off sly Cupid darted upon his neecy
wings
And left the lion tangled in silken apron

The sea no more allured him. he Stunned
the oceans foam
And lazied in an armchair softly singing
"Homc Sweet Home"
Bu, as she came 10 Adam, to him the

And flashed the rosy apple Of presinential
