Old lady, come tell your tale,
It is Rheumatism that makes you pale,
Your step to lag, and your spirite to fail.
I've gazed at you on the street and here,
And the truth to tell, I sadly fear,
You haven't been taking Po leine, dear.

community as well as to our trade.
Resolved, 2nd; That we deeply sympa
thize with the bereaved family, and ex

able but willing and ready to build up
the broken and tender heart.
