You can leave out the room and the floor*
The bumps and the bangs on the door;
The bdl and the sticks and the stairs ;
The trumpets, the howls and the chairs;
The whack and the fall and the rise;
The shrieks and the groans and the cries;
Mamma and the p-tn and the tramp,
The nurse and the growl and the stamp,'—
But one tiling you must have, however you get i!:;
Or else, if you don't, you will surely regret ft—
For remember my words— if you happen to Jack it
You never can have the least bit: of a racket—
And that is, two small boys in pants and in jacket!

SHACOB’S LAMENT.

Und if a lump vos in my treat,
It comes up dere to siitay.

My sadness I shall now unfoldt, r
■■
Und if dot tale of woe
EonVI do some Dutchmans any good,
Den I don't' pclief I know.

V ol t see, 1 fall myself in love,
Und effery night I goes
Across £o Brooklyn bv dot orid^e,
All dressed in Sunday clothes.

A vidder vonums vos der bri/.e,
Her husband he vos dead ;
Und a!l alone in this coldi vorldt
Dot vidder vos, she said.
