THINGS IDE LIKE TO NO.

, I. Ide like to know if Fox-cum-Vogel's ship Will drag aground on the financial bar ; If two sutcii übil fellers will lot slip The goldin cabil Joolius brot so far. To loos the skwandering of tlio borrod munny Wood turn to gawl their minnysteerial hunny. n. Ide like to no if awl this liedikashun For yung Nu Zoelan, bles his little hise ! Aint like to maikthe risin generashun, In yeers to cum, a' mitey site too wis#.'" • The littil raskal now, at two yeers' size, The diffrens nose twixt mud and mutton pies. hi. Ide like to no what Oswal Curtes dos With awl the long memoaryals ho gets ; Whether he glansis at them jist, and pshaws ! Or sw rs, and burns them, and forgets To waist anuther thot upon the matt.ir, Unless it be to cuss us and cheap wattir. IT. Ide like to no what yung West port will sac A fu yeers he.is, abowt their fathirs' pranks. They'll tel unloosing stories of the wae We keep tomfooliu with the river's ban They'll think their fourfathers were save chance From drowning in the Buller, or their ignorance* V. Tho no relashun, I wood like to no What was contained in Mother Saucetin's stockin.' A feller toald me a few weeks ago Its finder's dissypointmentin't was shockin, That 'twasn't stuff'd with goald, as it wood seem ; But a grait sell, like Darbi Kelli's dreem. VI. Ide like to no the next ekwestran muff, Who finds a prostrait swiper on the trak, And proves himself Sam Martin, good enuff To put the sot upon his horse's bak ; For since the last atfare has cum to pass Fokes think abowt the o!e man and liis ass. VII. There's menny more things that ide like to no, But, Mister Edytor, my Peggysus Refuses now anuther step to go ; He's sicb a stumblin, tender-toed, ole cuss ; So I must turn him out a while t > spel, But meentime let me kindly sae ferwel.
