" "There!" said the Deacon, "naow she'll dew. " Do! I tell you, I rather guess She was a wonder, and nothing less!
[Illustration] [Illustration: "She was a wonder, and nothing less"] Colts grew horses, beards turned gray, Deacon and deaconess dropped away, Children and grandchildren--where were they? But there stood the stout old one-hoss-shay As fresh as on Lisbon-earthquake-day!

... Eighteen hundred increased by ten;-- "Hahnsum kerridge" they called it then. Eighteen hundred and twenty came;-- Running as usual; much the same. Thirty and forty at last arrive, And then come fifty, and FIFTY-FIVE.
