TO SLUMP

2) To slip or fall into a wet or dirty place.--Brockett's North County Words. Provincial in various parts of England, and also used in New England. Mr. O. Wendell Holmes, in describing the school-boy, in a short poem read at the late festival in Berkshire, Massachusetts, says:

By the side of yon river, he weeps and he slumps,

His boots filled with water, as if they were pumps,

Till, sated with rapture, he steals to his bed

With a glow in his heart and a cold in his head.
