All middle-aged gentlemen, lei. me advise,
If you're married, and haven’t got very good eyes,
Don't go poking about after bluebottle flies.
If you’ve sped at left, don't have a tortoise-shell rim
And don't go near the water— unless you can swim.

Mamed ladies, especially such as are fair,
Tall and slim, I would next recommend to beware,
How, oil losing one spouse, tfiey give way to despair;
But lei: them reflect, there arc fish, and no doubt on't,
As good in the river, as ever came out on't,

JIMMY BROWN’S SISTER’S WEDDING.
S U E ought to have been married a long while ago. That's what
everybody says who knows her. She has. been engaged to
Mr. Travers for three years, and has had to refuse lots of offers
to go to the circus with other young men. I have wanted her to get
married, so that I could go it ltd live with her and Mr, Travers. When
1 think that if it hadn't been for a mistake 1 made she would have
been married yesterday, I find it dreadfully hard to be resigned. But
we ought always to he resigned to everything when we can't help it.
Before I go any further T must tell about my printing press. It
belonged to Tom McGinnis, but he got tired of it and sold it to me-
real cheap. He wna going to exchange it for a bicycle, a St. Bernard
dog, and twelve good books, but ho finally let me have it for a dollaf
and a half.
