John Bray in 1862, whoin turn conveyed it in 1878 to Mr. William V. S. Beekman,whose daughters are now in possession. This is the onlyhouse here in which an old-time bed-zink may still be seen. It was said by Southey, we think, that no house is per-fectly furnished in which there is not a child rising threeyears and a kitten rising three weeks. As regards the firstitem, at least, the Pruyn homestead was so often perfectlyfurnished that we deem it not inappropriate to end oursketch of it with the charming jingle sung there to such ahost of children, and which many still living remember. Trip a trop a troontjes, Trip a trop a troontjes, De varkens in de boontjes, The pigs are in the bean-vines, De koentjes in de klaver, The cows are in the clover blooms, De paarden in de haver, The horses in the oat fields, De eenjes in de water-plas, The ducks in the water-pond, De kalf in de lang gras;— The calf is in the long grass;— So groot mijn kleine poppetje was. So tall my little baby was.
