      VOLUME XXII.—No. 6.

      BOSTON:

      JOHN L. SHOREY, No. 36 BROMFIELD STREET,

      1877.

      Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1877, by

      JOHN L. SHOREY,

      In the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.

      FRANKLIN PRESS:

      RAND, AVERY, AND COMPANY,

      BOSTON.

      IN PROSE.

      IN VERSE.

      THE LAST GUEST.

      THE MORNING AFTER THE PARTY.

      MARY (angrily).

      Tommy, you deceiver!

      You've turned a regular thiever:

      I've let the light in on your deeds,

      You needn't sneak away.

      You thought it mighty pleasant

      To devour that dainty pheasant;

      Which cook and I for breakfast meant

      To have this very day.

      TOM (calmly).

      Miss Mary, I assure you

      You're entirely mistaken:

      I was finishing my supper—

      Don't call me thief or brute,

      But please be so obliging

      As to broil a slice of bacon

      As my reward for self-control:

      I haven't touched the fruit.

      MARY (sneeringly).

      For that there is good reason,

      You thing of craft and treason;

      You did not touch the grapes, because

      The grapes you do not like.

      You get no slice of bacon
