When the grasshopper ceases to
hop and the old COW quits her bawling;
when the fishes no longer flop and the
baby stops its squalling; when the
dunners no longer dun and the boot
owl quits its hooting; when the rivers
ever cease to run and the burglar
stops his footing; when the vine no
longer runs and the skylark stops
its larking; when the sun no longer
shines and the young man quits his
sparkling; when the heavens begin to
drop and the old maids stop advising,
then it is time to shut up shop and
quit your advertising.

ng and never go to bed until 10 or IL !
o'clock at night. They work without
leasing the whole time and get no !
