Origin of the Cannon.

1t is a curious fact that the first can

1880, is still preserved and stands at

Too Superior.


There is a girl who lives near By,
A wondrous cultured lass;
In every art she loves to try
Her neighbors to surpass.
On her piano morn and night
She plays selections quaint,
And l am told tbs her delight
To broider and to paint.
Her name Is often seen upon
Some literary page,
And she can tell of what was done
Back In a classic age.
Such admiration does she claim
1t makes her sisters wroth,
And yet about this wondrous flame
There fingers ne'er a moth.
For young men are timid sort
And fear that they by chance
II they should go to pay their court
Would show their ignorance
And set those lovely lips a-curl
And plunge them deep in woe;
So It's the plain old fashioned girl
That mostly gets beau.
