Love The Ladies' Every One.
Hove the ladies, every one

Those dark-cyed daughters Of the sun,
With trcsscs black as get.
What raptures in their glauccs glow
Rich tints their cheeks disclose,
And in the little dimplcs there
Young smiling Loves repose.

With looks 50 mild and languishing,
And bright and golden hair.

Their alabastcr hue,
And their bushes far more beautiful
Than rose-buds bathcd in dew,
love the ladies, every one
Fen those whose graceless forms
Are rugged as the oak that's borGe
A hundred winters storms.
The young, the old, the stout, the thin,
The short as well as tall,
Widows and wives, matrons and maids,
Oh yes, love them all.

This world would be a lonely place

But lighted by woman's smile,
Away all gloom is driven,
And the most humble home appears
Almost little heaven.

They're angels all, God bless 'em
And what can greater pleasures give
Than to comfort and caress' em'

And every mothers daughter!

From music's purest spring!
Pour the rich strain that thrilled me throug
How cherries now it's fled;
Fair lady, my delight renew
Give us cold Uncle Ned. Pathfinder.
