All cyc< are fixed upon the rod . that deep. dark, mysterious face; Tor now i^.o more a doubt remains But that the penalties and painsAnd all the deep and dark disgrace Ot rule and birch will be their fate, Instead of holidays and treat. But now—behold that face lit up. Mild as the radiant evening skies!He gives the order for the treat!One almost hears the hearts high beat And oil. the great, tiie sweet surprise—Instead of stripes, disgrace and fear,Come holidavs and cakes and beer! 4i8 THE PEXXSYLVAXIA-GERMAX.
