While the son was looking about, the old man drew up his arm and struck him with the flat of his hand and knocked him over. He at once picked him up, and said: "My son, I had no intention of hurting you, but I wanted to impress the thing on your mind." Shortly after he took the second son out, and administered the same lesson. Not long after the old man passed away, and I remember well that for years this matter was a bone of contention. Most Canadians are familiar with the musical bullfrogs which in the spring, in a favourable locality, in countless numbers call to each other all night long from opposite swamps.

With his jug-jug-jug 3rd--high key in which more join. Coo-chung--coo-chung 4th--baritone in which several join. Chuck-chuck-chuck. 5th--alto from different quarters. Chr r r r r r r r.-- 6th--chorus, grand, after which there is a pause, and then an old leader will start as before. Old Brown--old Brown Get home--get home, Your drunk, drunk, drunk, Coo chung-cooo chung Chuck-chuck-chuck. Chr r r r r r r r.
