A SURE pIsoGNosTlC OF EARLY GENIUS.
Sweet was the hour, when Tommy llorner sat
Inelulring in the flow of social chat;
The tear stood trembling in his fathers eye,
When to his hand he gave the Christmas PIE.
The boy enraptur'd at gift so rare,
So frosted DER with sugar, white and falr,
Applied it to his mouth and made wake,
Right through the very centre OF the cake
As he ,levour'd the present with delight
The crust still standing on the lett and right,
Secm'd by the yawnng chasm to DISCLOSE
A turnpike road new cut from Tommy nose
His father saw the breach and smiling said,
For Golden visions hover'd DER his head
Thus shall my son when he is doom'd to share,
The common evils which in life we hear
Behold them vanish from soul SO high,
Subdu'd nv him like this same Christmas piei,
scorce hid he spoke when Tommy with ms

Quoth master rom, delighted, so VIII.
Yes. cried the wife, enraptured at the lot,
And he shall wear pretty shoulder knot
Delighted Tommy struttcd round the room,
Mounted triumphant ON the palour broom
Thus papa, cried the hero, will ride,
And have sword to dangle at my side; :.
