THE WEDDING.

Peter would 20 to the wedding he would
So he sajdled his ass-and his wife
She to ride behind if she could;
For says Peter, says he, the Womap she should
Follow, not lead through life,
Hes mighty convenient, the ass, my dear.
And proper. and safe, and now
You stick by the tail, Wilde stick by the ear
And we'llgo to the wedding in time, never fear.
Ifthe windan the weather allow.
The wind and the weather were not to be blamed
But the ass had let in whm,
, That two 1T time, load never frumed
For the back ofone ass and he seemed quite ashamed
: That two should be stuck upon him.
Come Dobbin, says Peter, I'm thinking well trot
I'm thinking we won't says the ass,
" In the language of conduct" and stuck to tho spot
As tho-igh he had said, Inc would sooner be shot
Than lift up toe from tho grass
: Says Peter, Says he I'll whip him little;
Try it my dear says she:
! But he might just well have whipped brass kettle,
The ass was made of such obstinate mettle
! Never step moved he.

4 I'm thinking he'll alter his mind
!, The ass felt the needle, and up went his hcel,
I'm thinking, says Peter, he's beginning to feel
Souie notion ocmoving behind.
( Now give me tho needle, I'll tickle his ear,
And set tother end too agoing-
The ass felt the needle and upwards he reared
But kicking and rearing was all that appeared.
He had any intention of doing.
Says Peter, says he, getting on slow,
While one end is up, tother sticks to the ground;
But I'm thinking method TO match him know;
Well let for an instant both tail and ear 60
And spur him at once all aronnd.
So said, done, all hands a spurrng,
And the ass he did alter his mind
For Off he set, like partridses wherrng,
And went to the wedding, while all a stirring;

THE POOR MAN.

What man is poor not he whose brow
Is bathed in Heavens own light,
Whose knee to God alone must bow,
Atmorning and al night
Whose arm is nerved by healthful toll.
Who sits beneath the trees,
Or treads upon the fruitful soil,
With spirit calm and free.
Go-let the proud his gems behold,
And view their sparkling ray
No silver vase or yellow gold
Can Danish care away
lie cannot know TINT thrilling dream,
Which smiles within the cot.
Where sunny looks and faces gIeam.
To cheer the poor mans lot
What man is poorf not he whose brow
Is wet with Heavens own dew,
Who breathes to God the heartfelt vow
Whose pledge is deep and true.
The morning calls his sactive feet
To no enchanting dome,
But evening and the twilight sweet
Shall light his pathway home.
And there is music TO bis ear,
Ia the glad voice of his child,
His wife with hurried step draws neal
And spirit undofied-
Then turn not from the humble heart,
Nor scorn its humble tone,
For deeper feelings there may start
Than tho proud have ever known.
