THE SWELLS..
' Hear tlwt noisy lot of swells
Silly swells 1
Whftt a deal of truwhy talk their company fora
tclls; Bow they chatter, chatter, chatter,
In the bull-room of a night !
Halting such a fearful clutter,
As If something were the matter,
And hud put them In a fright.

"With the foolish conversation to the little luun'h-
ing belles,
Of the swells, swells, swells, swells,
Swells, swells, swells
While a-walking and a-talking with tho belles.
See those dissipated swells
Drunken swell!
What a talc to temperance that tipsy tumble
tells !
In the startled air of night
Ringing bells with great delight,
And singing songs with all their might.
Although the words they do not quite
Distinctly utter.
' Reeling, reeling, reeling,
Standing, sitting, kneeling,
Rolling, rolling, rolling,
On their homeward journey strolling,
With a resolute endeavor
Now, now to sit, or never
Bido by side with their companions in the gutter.
In the gutter
Arm in arm with theli companions in the gutter.
Bee those horrid dandy swells
Scented swells !
What a world of vapid talk their company com'

IIow disgusting their flirtation
And affected adoration
Of every exclamation
Of the belles.
Oh, maidens, young and single !
Lest your ears with pain should tingle,
Never listen to the jingle
Of the swells
Of Uie swells, swells, swells, swells,
Swells, swells, swells
To the jlngliugand the dingling of the swells.

A little five-year-old recently repeated his usual

he complained to the Friend that "his eyes wire get
ting weaker, and that even spectacles didn't seem to
do them any good."
"I'll tell thee, friend," replied the Quaker, "what I
think. If thee were to wear thy-spectacles over thy
mouth for a few mouths thy eyes would get well
again."
