THE YOUNG FOOL AND THE OLD.
There's no fool like a young fool
When fireworks are concerned,
Behold them all, the victims small
Behold the famed and killed and MANNED
There's no fool like the Old Fool
Who gives a child such things
There's no fool like young fool
To Are a bomb and lose a thumb
TO APd q6ueh 5fag a fwhhg nghg to an dynanlite fge
And scatter death and noise:
There's no fool like the Old Fool
Who gives a child Such toys
There's no fool like a young fool
To make the Fourth crim9,
When every nurse ana every hearse
When n East and West and North and South.
There's no fool like the Old Fool
Who thinks a child should know.
There's no fool like the young fool
Who smells the powder smoke;
But the awful play that mars the Day
Has ceased to be joke
To chuckle meath his breath
And put among the needless young
The instruments Of death.

There was a fall of "black snow" about Coire,
in the Swiss Canton of the Grisons, recently. The
ground was covered with snow, which was sud

owing to the sudden falling upon the country of
enormous swarms of a small black insect without
wings but provided with two long legs that permit
him to move like a grasshopper. They come in
such clouds that the inhabitants call them black
snow"
