WHEN GRANDPA WAS A BOY.

When grandpa was a boy—oh, gee!—sav, wan’t the fellers good! They never did a thing but jest exactly as they should. They never worried Bridget and they never j sassed their ma: They never used ter tease and beg fer stories from their pa; They never kicked tlie table leg, net asked two times fer pie; They never whined ter have ice-cream, and! candy made ’em cry; They’d good deal ruther bring iu wood than play with any toy. And doin’ chores was their delight, when grandpa was a hoy. When Grandpa was a boy they had no holidays at all. And school kept goin’ right along through summertime till fall; And all the fellers loved it and they used ter tease to go. And if they stayed ter home a day it broke their hearts, yer know. They never thought of "hookin’ jack,’’ and never once was late. And never threw a spit-ball ner made pictures on a slate, But studied jest ter beat the hand, ’cause lessons was their joy. And no ontsever missed a word, when grandpa a as a boy. » When grandpa was a boy he loved ter wear his Sunday clothes. And used ter black his shoes allround, and not jest Croat the toes: He used ter be so careful that his suits looked new fer years. And always when he washed his face he s rubbed behind his ears. He loved a tract, but never cared fer books ’bout "Deadwood Dick.” And doted on a sermon, but a circus made him tick; And all his chums would die ’fore they’d their teacher kind annoy— Oh, say! but saints was awful thick when grandpa was a hoy. When grandpa was a boy he did jest right in everything, And was a reg lar angel, ’cept he never raised a wing; And Billy’s grandpa was the same, accordin' ter his tell, And so was Samuel Myers’s, and whole lots more as well. And we’ve been told about ’em till we all jest wish that we Was livin' in them good old times, instead of now, yer see. Oh, cricky! if we only was! jest think with what joy We’d lick that sap-head crowd that lived when grandpa was a boy 1 —Joe Lincoln in Puck.
