THE TAILoRS AND THE SNAIL

For The Tribune
In city known for wisdom,
Where the Lackswanna flows.
Where the hills are green in summer.
And in winter capped with SHOWS,
Dwclt some half dozen tailors,
Who went to kill a sna:l
Said tho foremost to tho hindmost.
| "l.ct lis cut him at the tail"
But the hindmost somewhat wisely.
Knowing what a dreadful thing,
II would he to get behind him,
II the crttcr had a sting
suggested to the foremost.
\ snail whose name Fred,
Twas safer for the tailors
To cut him at the head.
So in counsel met the tailors,
In castle built of stone
tnd decrccd that rash tailor
Should meet the snail alone.
And a signal for the conflict
4 sign that wouldn't fail
Was boy down in the alley
With a common growlcr pail.
When feel the creeping shadows,
The tailols ono and all.
Passed slyy to the chamber
of the execution hall.
While pccrng through the transcm,
Ere the morning sun arose.
The snail that passed on to glory.
Where no tailor ever goes.
The snail, alas, was slaughtered.
BY pretty little rllsc
Known only to the taors--
The tailor and his goose.
But they say there is a spectre,
An angel in the tower,
That may slay the goose and tailor
Some unexpected hour.
So the half dozen tailors.
Who went to kill snail.
And the hindmost of tho foremost
Was to catch him by the tail,
May find it like the fable
OF the humply Grumpy COW,
Saying to each other
1--WE are all taken now."
&C. H. soper.
