CONCLUSION.
One day travelling through the land,
With a field-glass in his hand,
A well-dressed man of fortune came;
Mister Peep, they called his name.
"Can't I, as I pass," said he,
"View the distant scenery?
Beauty reigns elsewhere, I know,
Whereas here 'tis but so-so."
Here he pitched into the pond,
Viewed the mud and naught beyond.
"Paul and Peter,—look and see
Where the gentleman can be!"
So said Fittig, who just then
Walked forth with the little men;
But fu'l soon it was made plain
Where the gentleman had lain,
When he, minus hat and glass,
Stood all dripping on the grass.
