Tbrie’s a story that’s old.
But good, if twice told,
Of a doctor of ihuiteS *kl.
Who cured beast and man.
On anew tangled plan,
W ith Am hip of **tri#ii|efc tide pill.
On his portal of pine
flung an elegant sign
IVtpieUng a tamutiful rill.
And a lake where a sprite,
With apparent delight,
Was s(Htiog in sweet dhthnbille.
IHu MhOkrfhv one day,
As he sauntered that w ay,
Sti>sJ inutile at tfiat portal of pine,
When tWr distfir with pride
Stepped up to hu aide.
Saying “Par, Itow is that for h sign ?"
“There's wan tiling,'* saysl*at,
• Ye've lift out o' lhat.
W Inch, W jWa*r, is quite a mistake !
It 'a trim and it's nate,
Hut to make it umiplale
i e si mil have u f.iitie intnl on the lake "
“Ah 1 indeed ' pntv then tell,
'l'o make it look well,
\\ hat litnl do you think ii may lack ?"
