"Our Children's Ears."

Whether they'll be as long as those of Midas,

Or stand out salient from either side as

A close-cropped ARRY's, at right angles set

To his flat jowl, we cannot settle, yet;

But in one thing, at least, a score they'll chalk—

They will not hear the stuff their fathers talk!
