ONE TOUCH OF NATURE, &c.
Palmer, an obscure though sensible poet, relates how a school-master was startled by the sound of a tremendous kiss—.l K Biat •” the startled master cries * “ That, thir,” a little imp replies, * ‘‘ Watlx William Willuth, if you pleathe— I saw liim kith Thuthauuah I’eathe!” The delinquent was called up to the master’s desk, and an explanation demanded— “’Twas she herself, sir,” sobbed the lad: I didn’t mean to be so bad ; But when Susannah shook her curls, And whispered I was ’fraid of girls, And dursn’t kiss a baby’s doll, I couldn’t stand it, sir, at all, But up and kissed her on the spot; I know—boo-hoo—l ought to not, But somehow, from her looks—boo-hoo— I thought she kind o’ wished me to!”
