Ah, uc —Big Sandy, Charlie's
Praises haven't reached the end.
For 1 am just now ready to begin:
Charlie’s crisis I am to reach,
And my doctrine to preach.
His praise I am to sing.
And it don’t hurt a thing,
But if you receive a sting
To Jerusha (let it ring).
Remember now, (Charlie I pursue).
And Charlie ain’t for you;
And Lazy Boy’s name you wish to
knew,
Too much for us, he's for Little Joe.

sorrow. Can you guess the. unfortunate

Jertisha has the name of an old

Apply at once. No objection to bache
lors, but widowers need not apply.
Yours,
JERUSHA.
