Only surrounded by crime and sin!

The pleasures of living you sure should share,—

Dear little babies God leases there!


[A FISHING SEER]

He sat for hours on the bank that day,

With a serious look—most fishermen’s way,—

Just a waif of a lad with a brimless hat,

And pantaloons even much worse than that.

Dangling legs, without stockings on,
