the puerility of the thing and its undeniable

second stanza:

Ten thousand dollars had been stolen

And they tried to prove it was he.
The father took his grief to his wife,
Who faithfully shared all his cares
through life.
s.Sad to relate, this notifying charge
proved too much for the pair of them. and
the last verse describes a domestic catas

real villain. In the beautiful language OF
