J. J. HOMUTH & SON.
The Kistin O' the 'sweep.
For tbe'Trnes,
Jock Miller was a chimney sweep in
Tyne Castle,•a western suburb of Edin-
burgh. Like many of his occupation he
was very fond of whiskey, which so over-
came him on the occasion of the tragedy
of pair Tam, his droutly eronia, that he
was a fine subject for the practical joke
played on him by the wags of the.suburb.
Jock may still be seen and heard in that
neighborhood, for it is not many years
since the Kistin happened.
Jist no sae vary lang ago
Jock Miller dwelt in Castle Tyne,
A droothie sweep's e'er soopt a lion,,
Who had a cronie since lang syne.
Tam Johnston•—souter to his trade —
Whase thrapple likewise needed wettiu',
They ne'or uprose as lang's the cash held
But sat the happier gettin'.
Jist like auither Tam. and Jock,
By Robbie Burns made immortal,
But y.ae sad day Tam drank's last glass
Then staggered ower death's awfu'
portal•
Door yin o' tha confoonded stairs
That swirl aboot a perpendeolar,
The cronies reelin'—puirTam slipt
An' broke his neck—no bein' parteek-
lar.
.Aboot his fittin' on the stops,
Sae steep and wedgy, curst invention,
To trap pair sichts a wee bit fou,
Jist like auld Clootie's fell intention.
There lay Tani at the very fit
As deid as on•y kippered herrin';
While Jock that fou but little kent,
Has comrade had sae ill a' fairin'.
Could .yesno send a precious drop
0' water for to cool my coppers;;
I'm choking wi' an awful thirst
That's only kent by auld dry eopdrs?
Fu' sprue was granted his request,
For three young dells wi' pails At'
btiimnoin',
Him reused as he lay granin theze,
He ,water had enough to swim in.
Was never thirst mair sudden cured,
Half drooned he oot the cotlba loupit, •
That 'whammled on him warstlin oot,
Again contents on him were cou,pit. •
Like towsie tyke he shook his duds,
Then cot the hoose he dreepin'.boltit,
An' hinneward ran wi' reckless speed,
Well pleased he'd no been heliward
joltit.
Next a 1a' tha buried luckless Tam,
Whose cronie Jock was his chief
mourner,
He sn.no Salvation Army joined,
Became •a saint instead of scorner.
If e'er ye gang to Embro town,
West to Tyne Castle ye maun far hie,
To see the resurrected Jock
Gain' thro' the streets an' roaring "War
Cry?" •
