CHARLES FITCH LESTER

Nonsense Rhyme.

from the Negro quarters

Jay-bird a-sittin' on a Hickory limb.

He winked at me, I winked at him.

'Taint gwine to rain no mo'.

Hawk and Buzzard went to law; Hawk fell down and broke his jaw.

'Taint gwine to rain no mo'.

Oh, de Wren and de Thrush go clackety-clack, Dey bofe talk at once an dey bofe talk back, Dey say: "Jim Crow, my but you =is= black!"

'Taint gwine to rain no mo'.

TIMOTHY TRUNDLE.

By FREDERICK MOXON.

Oh! Timothy Trundle was bouncingly fat, As round as a robin was he; The jolliest babe ever sat on a mat To frolic and gurgle with glee!

His father who tossed him now up and now down, Called him "Timothy Trundle of Topplety Town."

When Timothy Trundle grew up to be "Tim", A rotund, jolly chunk of a lad, The hoop that he played with looked slim, beside him, Such a sphere of a shape as he had; And folks on the street lost all signs of a frown, To see Timothy Trundle of Topplety Town.

Once Timothy Trundle went out for a slide, He dragged up the sled with a will; But as he pushed off on his ride, o'er the side He rolled, and then rolled down the hill;-- A s...o...b..ll, like Heidelberg's fun of renown, Buried Timothy Trundle of Topplety Town.

Of Timothy Trundle, the youth like an O, For years I had never a trace Till I went to a circus, and lo! in the show I found his full-moon of a face.

A troup of trick tumblers performed, and the clown Was Timothy Trundle of Topplety Town!

[Ill.u.s.tration: AN UNWELCOME GUEST]

CHORUS OF BUNNIES:--"MAY BE, BUT AT PRESENT IT DOESN'T SEEM NEARLY SO DANGEROUS AS SOME PLACES WE KNOW OF."]

[Ill.u.s.tration: FATHER OWL TO MR. WOODp.e.c.k.e.r:--"HEY! WHO'S THAT KNOCKING OUT THERE?

DON'T YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO DISTURB OUR DAY'S REST? CALL AGAIN AT A REASONABLE HOUR."]

[Ill.u.s.tration: THE REUNION OF THE BRUIN FAMILY AT THE SEA Sh.o.r.e.]

THE BABY MICE ARE INSTRUCTED BY THEIR FOND PAPA

[Ill.u.s.tration: "NOW, CHILDREN, THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST AND MOST DANGEROUS TEMPTATIONS YOU WILL EVER MEET. I WILL SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS SO THAT YOU MAY REMEMBER AND ALWAYS AVOID IT."]
