(Prize Parody.)

You know we all stormed Turkey
town;
A yard or so away,
In the barnyard coop, the Gobbler
Stood on our storming day;
! With neck outthrust, and full ol
mirth,
Legs wide, tail held on high,
AS if he thought he owned the earth
! Not knowing what was nigh.
Just as perhaps we mused, His
| head
That scars, to earth may fall,
And soon he will be lying dead
Inside this very WALL"
Out from the house-door fast there
flew
A person, bound on bound
Full running, and an axe he drew
When he the Gobbler found.
Then there he stood in smiling joy,
And held himself erect
BY just the barnyard coop, boy:
Y u hardly would expect
$50 tight he held the shining axe
Scarce any part showed through =,
You looked twice ere you saw it
wax
And finally break in two.
WELL" cried he" "Gobbler, by Heav-
ems grace
I'll have you soon!
The cook is in her cooking place,
And you'll be there by noon;
Well see you frying in the pan
Which l, with hearts desire,
Shall dol" The boys eye flashed;
his plan
Scared up again like fire.
For there the axe lay by his side
The flash died out again,
The boys eye flashed, but presently
Shattered, of course, in twain.
you're broken!' Nay" he fixed
and tied,
Then turning to the Gobbler said:
You're killed, sire!" And, the boy
beside,
Gasping, the Turk fell dead.
