A PARODY.


at ae Henri Of q. Young Woman sais to "A, OLA Mu
~ Henry ". sHonTFsLLox.
Tell me not in idle jingle
Marriage ia empty dreaust;
For the girl Is dead that's single
And girls now what they seem
Life Is real life il earnest
Dgle-blessedness lb,
Man thou art, 10 man returnest"
Has been spoken Of the rib.
No. enjoyment and not sorrow
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Finds us nearer marriage day.
Life Is long. and youth is aeeting,
And our hearts though light and gay.
Still, like pleasant drums, are beating
Wedding marches all the way.
In the worlds broad field Of battle.
In the bivousc Of life,
Be not like damb. driven cattle
But beroine--a wife
Trust no future, how,vsr pleasant.
Let the dead past bury its dead
Aet-act to the living present,
Heart within aud hope ahsad
Lives of married folks remind us
We eau live our lives we'll.
And. departing. leave behind us
Such examples a. shall = tell
Such example, that another
Wasting time in idle sport.
A forlorn, unmarried brother,
Seeing. shall take heart aud court
Let u.s. then. be up aud doing
With heart on triumph set
Still contrivipg, still pursuing
And each one q bu<bandget,

STRANGE ADVENTURES OF CORPSE On
Thursday afternoon, 9th inst, as pedestrian
was slowly vending his way from the Clachan
of Campsie to Straithblane, he espied something
black lying in the middle of the road and on
approaching nearer he was horror-struck to
find it was n coffin; no doubt if it had been
the witching time of night F" his hair would
have stood erect, but daylight nerved him to 90
up to it, when he found it contained tenant
lie then procured assistance, and it was con-
veyed to the nearest house. The mystery was
soon explained by the arrival of q person in
mourning garb, who said they were conveying
the remains of the deceased from Lennoxtown
where he had died, to his native place-the
parish of Fitzpatrick The party, consisting of
near relatives, were all seated in dilapidated
mourning coach, with the coffin hanging in the
box below. By some means both box and coffin
were scattered out in the middle of the road,
without the party being aware of the loss, and
it was not until they had arrived near the toll
house, two miles distant, that they missed it.
A cart was procured, and they had come back
in search of the coffin but the adventures of
the unfortunate corpse were not yet at an end.
The horse attached to the cart, unaccustomed
to such luggage, started off at full gallop, and
the unfortunate coffin was a second time laid on
the road. 1t was then tied on the coach with
ropes, and they proceeded as far as Milngavia,
where they came in collision with a cart, which
broke the spring of the coach. They were now
worse off than ever. and had to wait till the
Duntocher coach came up, upon which it was
hoisted, and then conveyed from there in a cart
to its last resting place about eight o'clock, and
was buried by the "lantern dimly burning
