Still there are quite a lot of people in it, and several animáis - for ÍDStance, LyoD, Lamb and Kidd; Buil, Steere aud Wildbore; Coon, Fox, Hart, Buok, Kidd and Katz, Drake, Giese and Gosling; Partridge, Dove, Finch, Martin and Eobbins; Swan, Crane, Eagle, Hawkes, and one other WildBird; and airtong the Fish we fiud Mullett, Pike and Crabb. "Nor is the botanioal kingdom wanting. A bout the Woods are ruany Flowers; Rose in the Dull and Lillie in the Pond; around the Brooks and Marsh are Reed and Rice; Hay on the Mead, and Moss on the Banks; Sage and Thorn on tbe Sands, and Berry from the Brier Busb near the Hill, and every way, North, East and West, here and there, a Weed on any Day of Aprill, and through all the Weeks of May. "So the mineral kingdom, if we climb the Mounfc to the Peak, will yield a Golden Jewell, Green Stone, White Glass, or Black Diamond, even Colé - quite the tint of Potts and Kettle.

He was so Yonng he couldn't Wait, but Swift did Hairy on his Bent with Bliss that Shook him like a Blizard. He was not so Olds be shouid have been, and couldn't Dodge when the Merry, Lawless elf wonld Shute and that's the Long and Short of it. "We naight inoidentally mention Chipchase and Mawhorter, Portwiue and Shafarshik, and others, Neat, not Gaudy, Jolly and Trim."
