The Mermaid's Melody.

Graded high on the white waves
foam
So high, so low,
Free as the sea-gulls which DER us
roam
Lulled by the oceans roar.
Merrily we, our snowy limbs lave
Then down to Neptune's nethermost
cave,
What care we, though the pillows
rave?
As up and down we go.
Madly we dash with the binding
spray
So high, so low,
Down in the deep where the fishes
play,
Lulled by the oceans roar
Rocked on its bosom, so happy arc
Tossed bv the pillows so grand and
so free
Then down in the depths of the gray
old sea,
And up and down we go.
High DER the sea, on the messy rocks
So high, so low,
In the glad sunshine we dry our wet
locks
Lulled bv the oceans roar.
Or comb our hair with a comb OF
pearl,
Or with the seaweed we Irvine our
curl
Then back in the sea, ourselves We
hurl
So up and down we go.

A Soliloquy by George W. A Ellis
1887 Federal st. Chicago, Ill.
Your Daddy was a musket-
Born meath the outhern Sun
So within my estimation
You are Son of a Gun.
So what's the use of talkin'
You coal black son of gun
At the very first call for walkin'
You'll be there on the run.
You whine about your freedom;
Your Chances" say, are small,
But that don't feet your fightin'-
no Sir! Not at all
Your chance is just as has been:
Much better and much worse;
Your birth-'twas from musket-
1t ne'er has been your curse.
You may hold your "Indig." meetin
Resolve: this, and resolve that.
But at the first scent of battle;
You'll grab your gun and hat.
You'll be there with a vim, George,
A vim that's always told.
Less problem" or chance, we fee
George
Your futures good as told.
