Away, ye trifles, am air, I ink one gift before I jog; ye powers, listen to my prayer, give me a glass of grog.

" Why, mum, "ha replied pityingly, it's as easy as rolling off a log." And the wild winds wailed. Jones: " Young Smith is going fast to the bad. It a pity we cannot check him in any way."
