Straggler. "I'M WOT T' MULES BROKE AWAY FROM."


THE PATRIOT'S REWARD.

Narcissus, in that fateful hour

When Britain's belt was tightly buckled

Against the prowling U-boat's power,

Thou earnest to us newly suckled;

And oh! if interest ties the knot

That binds us to our fellow-creatures,

Be sure we loved thee on the spot,
