O.P.," and in explanation gives the following lines:--
"Some put unto their name A.M.,
And others put a D. and D.,

"Master of Arts, sure I am not,
No Doctor, no Divine I be
But OAKUM PICKING is my lot,
Of the same clay are we all three."
The "works" of this "rogue and vagabond," now in my possession, were

excused for lengthening my quotation:

equally with social exultation and with solitary pensiveness,
though it falls upon many an unheeding ear, never fails to find
some hearts which it exhilarates, and some which it softens.
