  My first is truly the first
    Among persons of every degree;
  My second composes my whole,
    And without it my whole can not be.

    Is separate wholly and free,

LONDON BRIDGE.


  "London Bridge is falling down,
  Falling down, falling down--
  London Bridge is falling down,
    So farewell, my lady.

  "You've broke the locks, and stole my gold,
  Stole my gold, stole my gold--
  You've broke the locks, and stole my gold,
    So farewell, my lady.

  "Then off to prison you'll have to go,
  Have to go, have to go--
  Then off to prison you'll have to go,
    So farewell, my lady."

[Illustration: "LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN."]

DESCRIPTION OF THE GAME.

One may often see in our city streets a group of children, two standing
with uplifted hands while the others pass between, and chanting, in a
tune of their own, the foregoing words. At the conclusion the hands are
dropped around a comrade, and he is asked to choose between the two
leaders, who have decided upon names--as, "a gold church," and "a silver
castle"--and placed behind his choice. At last all are caught. Then
comes the "tug," often a very unequal and amusing contest.
