"Three cheers for Lady!" interrupted Jack, with the old sparkle in his eyes, though his voice was a bit unsteady. "Hurrah for Lady! Hip, hip, hurr-a-a-h!"
And such cheers went ringing over the prairie and across The Rough that old Granny Carnes afterward declared she heard them at Bishop's store, ten miles away.
[THE NEW MOTHER GOOSE.]
There was a man in our town
Who was so wondrous wise,
He didn't try the bramble-bush
And scratch out both his eyes,
But sat him in a big arm-chair,
Upon a schooner-yacht,
And said to those who jeered at him,
"I'd rather see than not."
