SONGS OF THE sHIPYARD.

Mother, may go out to cOmbine?"
Yes, my darling daughter,
Sell your bonds at eighty nine,
And fill your stocks with water"
Lewis and Charles went up the street
With forty millions of water;
The floods swept Lewis off his feet,
And Charles came grumbling after.

When the pie was opened
There was no end of troubles;
Nothing in that pretty dish
But irideseent bubbles
