THE WONDERS OF A TOY SHOP.
New-York: J. Q. PREBLE.
J. W. ORR NEW YORK.
WONDERS
OF
A TOY-SHOP.
"Pray, what would you like?" said a Toyman, one day, Addressing a group of young folks, "I have toys in abundance, and very cheap, too, Though not quite so cheap as my jokes.
"Here's a famous managerie, full of wild beasts; See! this lion with wide open jaws, Enough to affright one, and yet I've no doubt, You might venture to play with his claws.
"Here's a tiger as tame as a lap-dog, you'll find, And a fox that will not steal the geese: So here you must own the old adage is proved, That wonders are never to cease."
"Here's wagon well laden, and here is a dray, With horses and harness complete; You can drive them in parlour and drawing-room, too, As easily as in the street.
"Here's a whole file of soldiers, quite ready for fight, And each of them armed with a gun; You may knock them all down with a feather, and then You may pocket them--every one.
"Here's a fine stud of horses, which, strange though it sounds, Live neither on corn nor on hay; A gentleman's carriage, and tilbury, too, For which we've no taxes to pay.
