JIMPLECUTE AND WINKELBAUM.
MS,
O, HO! said Johnnie Jimplecute and laughed in childish glee. "The glorious Fourth is bound to he a bully day for me, For Uncle John has given me this, and e'er the sun goes down
I'll have the biggest cracker in the whole of Uotliam town." And the wind soughed low,
And the sun shone bright A rare brave sigii't to see,
But a braver sight was the daring boy as he laughed in childish glee.
"Ha, haJ" said Johnnie Jimplecuteas home ho proudly bore The very biggest cracker he had ever seen before. That cracker was a monster, the wonder of its kind And warranted to make a flash would strike an army blind. 1 And the sun shone bright,
And the wind soughed low, And John sang merrily
As home he trudged in the glad sunshine and laughed in childish glee.
"He, he I" said Willie Winkelbaum and slyly 1 wagged his head AB he and several other boys crept up with stealthy tread And lit the white gunpowdered fuse that fluttered in the air, Then stood aloof and watched it burn without a thought or care.
And the wind soughed low, And the sun shone bright, And the fuse burned steadily,
While on and on marched sturdy John and laughed in childish glee.
.•"Hi, hil" yelled Willie Winkelbaum and laughed with fiendish glee As the tiny spark crept softly up, a grew some sight to see. It sizzled here, it sputtered there, and then to run was seen Its devastating course into the powder magazine.
1
And the sun shone bright, And the wind soughed low, And the world was fair to see,
And Johnnie unsuspecting trudged—a simple lad was he. And now upon the happy world there falls a bitter blight, And even Willie Winkelbaum is saddened with the sight, 'For now that spark has disappeared—en instant—and a flash I And little Joimnie Jimplecute's converted into hash.
And the wind soughed low, And the sun shone bright, And a white robed boy is he,
For Johnnie and his firecracker are but a memoree.
