And call thy treasured sweetness back.

The surplus of thy southern bowers;

o-eneral, “it is with the greatest pleasure and 
satisfaction I here declare that Miss Katy, 
when she said ‘ she did,’ spoke simply and only 
the truth.” Upon this Colonel Bumble Bee 
turned upon one side, and closing his eyes, ex¬ 
claimed, “ I die content*, and immediately cx- 
*' The assembly then retired, overwhelmed 
with grief and admiration at this interesting 
scene. The next, day, at the general Congress 
of Bugs, it was unanimously voted to attend 
Colonel Bumble Bee’s funeral, and in testimo¬ 
ny of their high respect for his memory, that 
each member should wear a black string on 
the left leg for thirty days. 
For myself, I have ever since felt, very mel¬ 
ancholy, and to while away my leisure hours I 
have employed myself in preparing this history 
of my misfortunes. Let me then conclude, by 
entreating all my young friends to shun the 
fault, that they may escape the misfortunes ot 
their sorrowful fricud—Katy Did.
