The "boy Orator."

Oh, havo yon heard of the famous Boy Krom the far Nebraskan lea. Whose tonque is poised oa a silver point And wags right merrily. Wheu he mouuts his loag-eared hobbyhorsc, Free coiiiac. and all that, Gro.at Seott! but oh, how the numbers flow, While he whoops it through his hat- This Orator of the Platte. From the strlcken land of "waving corn" The Boy and Ij's boomlet comes To the City of "N'i]id wiit-re Altgeld roignsi, And the strsets are paved wlth booms. One magie swoop ii his silvery voice Lays Bland and t'nc' Hod i!at; Ahis! wha! show has a lni.wseed now YVith a Boy whu lalks through his hat- With the Orator of the Platte'.' He givea theni the sihor onre-all straight, And liis yoice tabes a mournful tone, While he plcttirea the new Heiena's isle Aud the "llttle Na-po-le-oa." Tüe audlence howl till their throttles crack At (■oinparisons ko pat. And the Dcdhani "pop" makes a wonderful flop, While the Boy talks through hls hat- This Orator of the l'latte. They liail him a sunilower from the plains By the eyctone of fortune blown, But the "oldbugs" will teacii him a trick or two Ere his pantiop are onlrown. Novcnilicr &&.$& wül prove long and drear To many a öemocrat, Uut especiaüy go to this oruclo Cicero Who is blustering through his ñat - This Orator of the l'latte.
