The next day to Dover, in a clever dog trot,"
We went by way, which, before, sve knew not;
And as is the custom, in such puzzling cases,


The right way askd, at sundry bye places
Overtaking man, without coat surtout,
" Wuh a boH on his arm, " and travelling on foot,
Who gave hint, which is below,
He rather would ride, and with would go--
i We gave him seat, in gig without pay,
Except that-wI bored him The whole of the zvay,
He told cnck-and-bu story of rent,
But indeed, it was hard to know what the meant
For, his language seemd strange-at least to cars
And show'd he was born among wolves, or wild bears.
Smart apples-Snaart corn-and great storm OF land,
Were surely strange phrases-yet, understand
There Kensh people-and Federals to boot
Who know not the difference 'twixt and bulls foot
We thought TO ourselves, when zve'd get to Dover,
Among our good friends ned live in clover
Butwho would believe it as zve landed,
Or poney put no, and cold snack demanded
Before had time luncheon TO gnaw,
We were called limb of the law
And what our friend Noah has apty termd SCREWS
Being "cappd right upon us'soon altered sdezas
Then trouble came DER us, "ike unto food,
Yet firm and erect Mount Atlas stood.
! We receiy'd General Fisher, High Sheriff of Kent.
And soon learnd from him what his compliments meant
No doubt he suppos'd-.Ve were shockingly bit
When he drew from his pocket capas zura,
And thought he would give as touch of the horrors,
When he held as to bail in FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
But as our friends his business found out,
Around as, by dozens, they rallied about,
While WE, in contempt, with arms cock'd akimbo,
Now laughed at all efforts to clap as in limbo.
When the bail had been given, wak'd into court,
With the bes phiz could-but in mood for sport
Twas not for The purpose ofviewing the place
Where should be brought in the Ht6fngton case;
But merely to prove. that, though roughly treated,
Or head was still up, and 7re not defeated
We learn'd 10 business, thar little was doing,
And among all the cases. for libel was sueing;
So took our leave, with sigh for the sutor,
Considering the rest a pack of freebooers
When readers refer to what happen'd before,
They wont be surprz'd, sye deen,d courts a bore:
Besides-that were in no little fury,
That must Judge. Lasvyers and Jwy
Then out TO his HONoRS, (he Chancelor's,) went,
Aed. with OLD cnoNEr, few minutes spent
We quick ratified DER, like friends in good gec
All matters and things-saue H.5Fngton's plea.
Though jolly and gay, zve touch'd not the bowl
Our feast zpas Of reasoa--otW foz9 7yas Of sonl
And his Honor, twas plain, felt great joy and delight.
From the very first moment that WE hove in sight.
