Mistake Of Young Men.

Almost all the young men, unite
the idea Of large expense, and the me-
cessity Of a prsportionate income,
with the idea of marriage. They en-.
tertain certain vague notions ofstyle,
as inseperable from the proper sup"
port Of wife, and as essential to her
dignity and the husbands HONOR
But this is all mistake. Nine tenths
of the young married females would
cheerfully enter into any system of
economy that might be required, if
their husbands would only show
them its necessity and ask their add

PARODY ON THE "soNG OF THE SHIRT"
With fingers dirty and cold,
With hands all full of cracks,
A young man stood in ragged coat,
Plying his saw and axe.
Saw! saw! saw!
As by the horse he stood,
And still he raised terrible jaw,
About the burning of wood.
Work! work! work!
While the wind is blowing around,
And work! work! work!
Till the snow covers all the ground.
It's 80! TO be slave,
Along with the barbarous Turk,
Where man has never soul to save,
If this be Christian work."
Work! work! work!
Till the hands begin to freeze;
Work! work! work!
Till the nose begins to sneezc:
Beech, and maple, and oak,
Oak, and maple, and beech,
Till over the horse tumble down,
And raise terrible screech.
0! women with brothers dear,
o! women with husbands and sons,
1t is not wood you're burning away,
But human creatures thumbs!
Saw! saw! saw!
In no very pleasant mood,
Cutting at once, with double draw,
My fingers as well as the wood
Work! work! work!
My labor never grows less;
And what are its wages? A "fip'' day,
And at dinner coeked-up mess.
That battered hat--this ragged coat
A knife with broken blade
| And my boots so patched that they can't bt
matched
AT the place where they we're made.
Work! work! work!
From weary chime to chime,
Work! work! work!
As chickens scratch for lime.
Oak, and maple, and beech,
Beech, and maple, and oak,
Till over the weary, weary task,
My back is almost broke.
Work! work! work!
Through all the winters gloom,
And work! work! work!
Seems ever to be my doom.
While underneath the saw,
The dust is rising high,
Yet still with aching eyes see
The wood around me lie.
With fingers dirty and cold,
With hands all full of cracks;
Thus young man stood in ragged coat
Plying his saw and axe.
Saw! saw! saw!
AS by the horse he stood
And still he raised terrible jaw,
