THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

BIZ AN "oLD SCHOOL BARD"
Oh! those were happy good old times,''
Ere luxury had changed
The lives of all the fairer sex,
And reasons throne defanged,
When damsels knew tie washing tub,
The milking pail and broom,
And earned their wedding padHa-soie
By spinning at the loom.
Oh, those.were happy ''goodo old times"
When the table, white as snow,
Groaned beneath beans and pumpkin piee-
Oh! / wish had some now.
Oh! those were happy good old times,"'.
Ere Chinese corns we knew,
Ere every miss of pert sixteen
Esteemed herself ''blue;n
When lasses laved in RAINING streams,
Nor with fork slipped pap,
But lolled on mother earth's green sward,
And not in velvet lap.
Oh, those were joyous olden times,
The times of which we've read,
Of good old fashioned pandowry,
OF rye and Indian bread.
Oh. thoce were happy olden Zines,
Ere opera or play,
And waltzing reels with jackdaw tops,
Consumed both night and day;
Ere easy chairs and feather beds
(Oh! how my back complains!)
Had opened to our head-strong race.
Pandora's box of pains.
Yes, truly, those were glorious times,
The times to do onelgood,
While talking husking frolics DER
By blazing fires of wood.
Oh! those were good Dame Natures times!
How memories sweet swarm DER US,
Ere wasp-like forms were girt around
With ''butles'' so enormous.
When modest arms were never barred
And trinketed for show,
Nor ever left their hiding place,
Save to be hid in dough!
Yes. these were truly" happy times,
Of gladstone, rustic life;
Those sanded floors and wax neat homes,
The buxom, loving wife;
Bright fancy limns upon my mind
A life of love trow;
All me. delicious" times were those!
Oh! wish we had them now!
