SINGULAR THINGS IN PnURAIs.

We'l1 begin with g, box, and the plural
 is boxes; But the plural of OK should be oxen,
 not oxes. Then one fowl is goose, but: two are
 called geese; Yet the plural of moose should never
 be meese. You may find lone mouse or a
 whole lot of mice; But the plural of house is houses. not If the plural of man is always called
 men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
 called pen? The COW in the plural may be cows
 or kline, But a bow, if repeated. is never call ed bine. And the plural of VOW Is VOWS. not
 vine; And if speak of a foot, and you
 show me your feet. And I give you a, boot, would al pair
 be called beet? If one is a. tooth and a whole set are
 teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be
 called beeth? If the sipgular'3 this and the plural
 is these. Should the plural of kiss be mack
 named keese Then one may be that and three
 would be those- Yet hat in the plural would never be
 hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not
 cose, We speak of brother .and also of
 brethren; But though we say mother. we never
 say methren. The masculine pronouns are he. his,
