The Sigh And The Tear.
Then I think on the days that are gone , When Affluence sat at my gate , When I wept for sad tales like mine own , And reliev'd the hard pressure of fate . A crust will for nature suffice , By age and calamity shook ;
Ancl , thanks to the merciful skies ! My thirst I can slake at the brook . But charity wou'd you impart , To lighten the load of my care , Wou'd you bind up the woe-broken heart , O give me a sigh and a tear 1

THE CONJUGAL REPARTEE .
WHEN Moggy told Harry he look'd like a bull , The neighbours believ'd what she said For all thought that Mog had cornuted his skull , In being untrue to his bed . When Harry , describing the noise of his Mog , By simile prone to explore , He thought of a bail—but he meant a bull-frog , * Incessant of clamour and roar .
