FRANKLIN HYDE,

     
      Who caroused in the Dirt and was corrected by His Uncle.
      [Illustration]
          His Uncle came on Franklin Hyde
    Carousing in the Dirt.
    He Shook him hard from Side to Side
    And
      [Illustration]
          Hit him till it Hurt,
          Exclaiming, with a Final Thud,
    “Take
      [Illustration]
                that! Abandoned Boy!
    For Playing with Disgusting Mud
    As though it were a Toy!”
      MORAL
          From Franklin Hyde's adventure, learn
    To pass your Leisure Time
    In Cleanly Merriment, and turn
    From Mud and Ooze and Slime
    And every form of Nastiness—
    But, on the other Hand,
    Children in ordinary Dress
    May always play with Sand.
