Down on the bank of the creek, nigh whar our folks live, stood a little old cabin, what lemckel like a soive: And out on the porch sot old Tubsic Grey, And he grumbled and growled the live long day. I said, " I'ake the paper?" With a shake of the head, "I never read the papers," w~as all Tub sic said. A follow come along, wh at thought Taibpio was rich, And sold hinm a receipt to kill hugs, worms and si. He was a sleek talking rascal, and sly as at fox, And told Tubsie the directions was in each little hex. It said, catch the bug, lay him flat on his hack, And with a small hammer just hit him a whnek; If your -tim it air true, you will find the bug dead, "'I never road the papers," was all .Tubsie said. Two chaps came along and told Tubsie how fie could make butter in a minute, with out aid from the cow; H',w, without any labor, a fortune be could earu, And they sold him a right for a new faniglcd chiun. So lie mortgaged liis fairm and gave them his gold, And soon found himself bankrupt, and lie growing old; It worriod him so he took to his bed, "'I never read the papers," was all Tub. sie said.
