Dear Editor and Sisters or the 0ocl14 Corner: was reading the letters. oyer Saturday and came to Aunt Judys6 poem, and am able to send in the rest of it, for also learned it when I went to school, am writing it from mem ory and may not have it right, as it was nearly twenty years or so, ago. l think this is the whole of 1t:
 There was an old lady lived over the
 And she was an Island Queen; Her daughter lived in a. new countree
 With an ocean of water between. The old Iadys cofRers were full of gold,
 But never contented was she;
 So she called on her daughter to pay
 or three pence a pound on her tea. "Now, Mother. dear Mother the
 daughter replied,
 T won't do a thing that you ax; I'm willing to pay fair price. for the
 But s never she three penny taz.r You siaanf'' auots the mother, and
 reddenedswith rage,
 For you're my own daughter, you
 see;
 And sure 'tis quite proper the daugh-
 ter should pay
 Her mother a. tax on her tea
 So the old lady her servants called up
 And packed off her budget of tea, And eager for three pence pound, she
 Enough for large familee.
 She Otdered her servants to bring home
 Declaring her child should obey; Or, old as she lwaSs an almost woman
 She'd fim haa whip her fife away. The tea was conveyed to the daush-
 ter's door,,
 All down by the ocean's side:.
 But the bouncing girl poured ont ev-
 cry pound
 In the dark and boiling tide.
 And then she called out to the Island
 "oh. Mother. dear Mother" quoth she:
