PICKWICK IN A DILEMMA. 71 Ciose by the meetn-house on the hill. First a shiver, and then a thrill,Then something decidedly like a spill—And the parson was sitting upon a half-past nine by the meetn-house clock—Just the hour of the Earthquake shock! What do you think the parson found, When he got up and stared around ?The poor old chaise in a heap or mound,As if it had been to the mill and ground)You .see, of course, if youre not a dunce,How it went to pieces all at once—All at once, and nothing first—Just as the bubbles do when they of the wonderful one-hoss Logic IS Logic. Thats all I AMERICAN ARISTOCRACY. JOHN G. SAXE. 5^^I^F all the notable things on earth,W^^Ml The queerest one is pride of birth^gj^ Among our fierce democracy ! &[hi A bridge across a hundred years,^ Without a prop to save it from even a couple of rotten peers,—A thing for laughter, fleers, and jeers,Is American aristocracy! English and Irish, French and Spanish,Germans, Italians, Dutch and Danish,Crossing their veins until they vanishIn one conglomeration! So subtle a tangle of blood, indeed,No Heraldry Harvey will ever succeedIn finding the circulation. Depend upon it, my snobbish friend,Your family thread you cant ascend,Without good reason to apprehendYou may find it waxed, at the fartherend, By some plebeian vocation :Or, worse than that, your boasted lineMay end in a loop of stronger twine, That plagued some worthy relation! MR. PICKWICK IK A DILEMMA.
