JOHNNY'S COMPLAINT.
Oar preacher say 4 ? — an' course he's light — It's vory wronu: to tell a fib, (So mother taught me ever since She rooked in- 1 in my little crib), That's why I o-in'i jusf understand Why in his sermons he will run Alona: like sixty when lie's said, ' But one word more and I have done. 1 When first J heard him say those words They made me glad, for I, you see, V- T as tired, for h.ilf-linur Rpimons seem Enough for little f>lks like use ; But gradmis ! I was qmte snrpiised To find he'd 011)3' just begun, When pausing for a breath he siid ' But one word moie and I have done.' I wonder what he'd think if" I Should say, when at hU home I'd sup, ' Just one plum more and I have done,' Then eat his wife's preserves all up? I guess he'd ask me what I meant, l'n have to say I was in fun, Just like he must be when he says ' But one word more and I have done.'
