OLD AND NEW TIMES.
When my good mother was girl
Some thirty yePrs ago,
Young ladies then, knew how to knit.
As well as how 10 sew.
Young ladies then could spin and weave,
Could bake, aud brew, and sweep,
Could sing and play, could dance aud paint,
And could secre, keep.
Young ladies then were beautiful
As any beauties now
Yet they could rake the new-mown hay,
Or milk the "brindled cow"
Young ladies then wore bonnets too,
Aud with them their own hair
They made them from their own good straw
Aud pretty, too, they were.
Young ladies then wore gowns with sieevea
Winch would just hold their arms,
Aud did no, have as many yards
As acres in their farms.
Young ladies' then Oft fell IN love,
Aud married, too, the men
While men, with willing hearts and trne.
Loved them all back again,
Young ladies aow can knit and sew.
Or read pretty book
Can sing or paint, and .oke aud quiz,
But cannot bear to eoolS.
Young ladies non can blithely spin
OF" street yarn May pool
And weave web of scandal too,
And dye il in the wool.
Young ladies non can bake their h air,
Can brew their own cologne;
In borrowed plumage often shine,
While they neglect their own.
And as 10 secrets, who would think
Fidelity-a pearl?
None but modest little Miss,
EeECnhnCe country Shl.
Young ladies noW wear lovely eur's,--
What pity they should buy them
And then their oonnels, heav'ns they fright
The beau that ventures nigh them.
Then as 70 gowns, I've heard it said
They'll hold dozen men;
Andif you once get in their sleeves
You'll neer get ont again.
Zen love is changed from what it VAS
Although true love is known:
lis wealth adds lusire to the caech,
And mets the heart OF stone.

Confess his magic power,
