But now it isn't so no more;
I'se sure I don't know why,
But Daddy buys me lots of things
And Mammy doesn't cry.
It's something on that pretty card,
Where Daddy wrote his name;
'Cos Mammy kissed it lots of times
And put it in a frame.
I don't know (perhaps it isn't so),
But do you know, I think,
(But, Carlo dear, you musn't tell)
That Daddy used to drink!

ON THE TOWN
T
wo women found the means of getting intoxicated at a
shop, and
in
going home in a wagon, the one the least
drunk contrived to pitch the other out, which occa–
sioned the breaking of her leg. The miserable woman, by this
mishap, is thrown on the town for support.
Cold Water Reminders,
1876.
The Deadly Amonita
One part Applejack,
One part Brandy,
The juice of half a Lemon,
A teaspoonful of Grenadine.
