GEORGIA WHITE, Local Editor.
Not Crazed, But Mad.

Poor Harry Thaw, poor Harry Thaw
Was blown in clutches Of the law
BY winds of temper pretty warm,
Developing wild brain-storm
That on a roof caught stanford White,
Far from cyclone-cellar tight.
II foolshly above the ground,
One dares tempest floating round.
He's very likely TO be killed
Before the simeon can be stilled;
And so, In all the clustering rout,
The fame OF human life went out.
Poor Harry Thaw-'tis very sadi-
Was judged To be exceeding mad,
BY honest jury of his peers;
And now, despite his anxious fears
Lest the asylum freed a craze,
There must he spend some idle days.
'Tis pitiful that be should be
Pent up, and not go glad I'd free;
But still there's always rosy hope
He'll soon be granted longer rope,
Which, with n decent kind OF calf,
Would give grim Justice chance to laugh.
