THE GAY CASHIER.
ADAPTED FROM THE FRENCH.
Two gallant burglars, who for many a day
Had laid their plans, at last had made their way
Into a bank upon a stormy night;
Then with what fond, what rapturous delight
Unto the vault they flew to seize the swag!
O cruel joke, there was no swag at all:
That night the gay cashier, a heartless wag,
With all the funds had skipped for Montreal.
