UTOPIA.
Th preachers of Utopia Are an agrecable lot, Who seldom seem a bit chncerned About the Hottentot ; Instead, they stick to local stunts, Unmixed with tommyrot ! The laundries of Utopia Are gentle with their duds; They do not chew them up, as eow« Would chew upon their cuds ; And lo ! no buttons disappear While tripping through the suds! The schoolgirls of Utopia Ar,e not compelled to know The family history of Keats, Or of Gaboriau : Part of the time they learn to cook, 1 And part of it they sew ! The Congresg of Utopia Is filled with brainy men Who lesislate with great dispatefa, And then go home again ; How can they? Ah! They don't expel Excessive oxygen ! — Oliver B. Cap .Iie.
