The village all declared how much he knewg 'Twas certain he could write, and cipher, toog Lands he could measure, terms and tides presage, And even the story ran that he could gaugeg In arguing, too, the parson, owned his skill, For even though vanquished he could argue stillg VVhile words of learned length and thundering sound Amaz'd the gaping rustics rang'd aroundg And still they gaz'd, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knewf' -Goldmzitlzrz Tlzc Dcserted Village.

I then found out what dcm011.vf1'atc means and went back to my law studies. i 4 V 5, it - r-'I-4 1 xff'-'ry-ry E4 CQ4 1 . . Y U 204 An,.,4r 1 'XGA ,ug H ,W , .1 n yy ugh 1 1s . 'ff 22- 21 :,,:..
