GRAPESHOT

n : An argument which the future is preparing in answer to the demands of American Socialism. GRAVE, n. A place in which the dead are laid to await the coming of the medical student. Beside a lonely grave I stood— With brambles ’twas encumbered; The winds were moaning in the wood, Unheard by him who slumbered. A rustic standing near, I said: “He cannot hear it blowing!” “Course not,” said he: “the feller’s dead—— He can’t hear nowt that’s going.” “Too true;’ I said; “alas, too trae— No sound his sense can quicken!” “Well, mister, wot is that to you?— The deadster ain’t a-kick in’.” T knelt and prayed: “O Father, smile On him, and mercy show him!” That countryman looked on the while, And said: “Ye didn’t know him.” Pobeter Dunk. 127
