    Goosey Goosey Gander.
    Billy Lane, William Wiseheart, Jim Burgess, and Bill Hutton are boys. Those dear boys saw some geese, and annexed two of them. A policeman happened to be "round tne corner" ; he saw that a little poultry raid was being carried on, and he set sail after the boys, and captured Billy Wiseheart. Billy dropped the goose, and the peeler dropped upon "little Billee." William "split" upon his comrades, and they have all gone to be "goosed" in the Reformatory. There will be no poultry fare for Lane and Wiseheart from this day, to this day twelve months. The other ingenuous boys won't smell goose stuffing for three years.5
