An Irresistible Conclusion.

He was a critic, so he said;
He wrote his way to fame.
If nonsense CHANGED to fill his head,
He wrote 1t just the same.

And people trembled at the sheer

He showed where Shakespeare some.
times failed,
Although his work was fair.
At Swift he arrogantly rallied;
He patronized voltaire.
The life work of the worlds great men
He'd crush in forty winks,
And very few escaped the pen
OF Jingle Burnem Jinks.
But those who followed him at length
Grew very sad indeed
They cried, pray show us, in your
strength
What is there left to read!
Upon what author may we lean
AS one who really thinks"
He answered with an air serene,
"Why, Jingle Burnem Jinks."

Where the Grass Grows Green.
I'm Denny Blake, from the Count
Glare,
And here at your command,
10 sing song in praise OF home,
My own, my native land.
I've sailed to foreign countries,
And in many climes I've been,
But my heart is still with Erin,
Where the grass grows green
l love my native country,
And tho richer lands I've seen,
Yet l can't forget ould Erin,
Where the grass grows green.
Poor Pat is often painted
With a ragged coat and nat:
His heart and hospitality
Has much to do with that.
Let slanderers say what they viii,
They cannot call him mean:
Sure a strangers always welooma
Where the grass grows green.
He's foolish, but not vicious.
His faults won't defend;
His purse to help the orphan,
His life to serve a friend.
He'll give without a murmur,
So his follies try and screen;
For there's noble hearts in Erin,
Where the grass grows green.
'Tis true he has a weakness
For drop of something pure,
But that's a slight debility
That many more endure.
He's fond of fun, he's witty,
Though his wit tits not too keen,
For there's feeling hearts in Erin,
Where the grass grows green.
There's not true.born Irishman,
Wherever he may be,
But loves the little emerald
That sparkles on the sea.
May the sun of bright prosperity
Shine peaceful and serene
And bring better days to Erin,
Where the grass grows green,
