THE SUBSTITUTE. 
With its deep and wholesome teaching, 
With its learning, with its science, 
With its wild conglomeration, 
I sliould answer, I should tell you, 
“ J oily Douglas told me of it ; 
“ He who writ the ‘ World of Insects,’ 
“ He who lives at pious Kingswood — 
“ Kingswood by the Blackheath Station — 
“ Station of the North Kent railway ; 
“ Douglas with the lots of children*, 
“ Douglas with the wondrous children — 
“ Wondrous Alice, silk-haired Laura, 
“ Laughing Polly, fattest Harry,

Thus he made our Kingswood pious.

Wandered happy in the sunshine, 
And she saw a water-hugfly 
Buzzing gaily in the sunshine,

Just a speck in the liorizon. 
Very far off in the distance, 
But she knew it was a hugfly, 
Water-hugfly, Colymbetes, 
Water-hugfly, Bugfliwatha. 
On its way it met a watchman 
With its stomach rainbow-tinted. 
It is called the great dor-hcetle, 
But in science (Jcotrupes. 
Then the pretty Colymbetes, 
Waier-ltugfly lluglliwatha. 
Fearful of the great dor-beetle
