A SCHOOLBOY ON CORNS.

Vegetable corn grows in rowa ; animal corn grows on toes. <"■ ere. are several kinds of come; there - ('« unicoru, caprieorr, corn dodgen, vi. coru, and tbe corn which is (he corn you most feel. It is suid, I believe, 'hat gophers lika corns: but persons having corns do uot like to "go fur," if they can help it. Con.s have k j m !s, and gome colonels have corns.
