Impetuous Samuel

Sam had spirits naught could check,
      And to-day, at breakfast, he
  Broke his baby sister’s neck,
      So he sha’n’t have jam for tea!

Col. D. Streamer.

Misfortunes Never Come Singly

Making toast at the fireside,
  Nurse fell in the grate and died;
  And, what makes it ten times worse,
  All the toast was burned with Nurse.
