The Ottl HrOSvn Jug.

The otu brOWn jug.
Farewell farewell to the old brown jug.
Its days ehbing fast;
No more its form we'll fondly hug
This drink must be our last,
Gone. gone! gone and doubly gone!
Are the roliiclinG times Of yore;
Our hearts are filled with grief forlorn
That must meet no more.
For why? All UP at Richmond town
The boys in council met;
They voted to cast the lido! down
And buried it deep. You bet.
But was the eye OF any dry
With binding teardrop dim,
To think tho good old jug must lie
SO far away from him:
And tho question comes amen; the cup
To quicken tho sluggish brain:
Who'll be the first TO dig il up
And taste Of its wine again?
Eut if the "drys" can stand the test,
Nor weep for the eau de vie.
Then may the old jug gently rest,
No more earth to be.
Wen join the "drys" next time they vote
To hiring millennium nigh.
And drink the milk of tho nanny goat
Till every goat goes dry.

of the rejection he had four stories Of similar
