No p,ease your iaste and lake ruur monev,

II this is good religious teaching
III quit my business and go to preaching,
| like such frins, did up rare
Set of with music and the fair,
But we poor devils ore not allowed
To enter such a motley crowd.
And should be thankful il even
We get apreaeher's hope for heaven.
This time Of year is most propitious
With many things that look suspicious.
Everybody the's one Of 'em) is getting marie
And into pleasure headlong carried
And many more who wish | troy,
The matrimonial road TO go.
Old bachelor! you poor contemplate whelp
Why don'tyOu get yourself a help,
You look as il you bad been made
To be a single Sissor blade,
Those looks you brought upon yourself,
by your invidious grasp for pelf,
Go sweeten up you countenance,
With Brookins' dOins just from france,
Then choose yourself a blooming lass,
And down life'S stream most sweetly pass.
Then here's the Temperance ~fandango,
(The real name | do not know
They said they used no port or sherry,
But looked and erinned till all got merry,
Instead Of using real liquor,
1t would have made them tight much quicker
They took this slow and toilsome way
lndead OF night when all cot ID stay,
And work it off with beef and cheese,
Protected from the public goze
It's said, 10 tell who had been drinking,
They went into a course Of thinking,
When 10! with wild and glorious shout,
This bappy plan was tinkered out,
Twas for a girl 10 kiw the STRIPPING,
Who was suspected OF whisky tippline,
And while she kissed, of course could smell
His breath, and tell it very well.
And if she got the scent o. Rum,
She cried aloud, "JM's token some ;"
So ended this great Panorama,
The widest scene that's in my drama.
Some things have almost slipped my mind,
But still, perhaps something III find,
TO clean my throat and make me stronger,
And keep You reading a Little longer.
The Bank, 10 which | owe no grudge,
Is kept by "BLAcK HAVE :" and the JUDGE
Blackjack YOU know is now The teller,
And the Judge | believe is q clever fellow.
But, while ! am so near my home,
| may as well some sins atone,
And put a word in for the church,
Before | am left in the lurch.
The Parson breaches very well,
But cannot save you all from
Your hearts grow harder day by day,
As longer from the Church you stay,
Then go TO Church-hear all you can,
You'may come home a better nan.
Our grocers, merchants and mechanics,
Came near expiring with the panics,
But now, the tra1e is somewh It steady,
With quite an increase Of the ready.
One thing more, and then Pm done,
And from your door step will be gone.
Our girls have not yet claimed my song,
| own it does appear quite wrong,
But girls, mot wishing for 10 tlatter,)
About a very truthful matter,
! know no Town beneath the skies,
Where beauty holds SO rich a prize,
Aud moral worth, that maid SO dear,
II S pleased to make her dwelling here.
Now if you wish to read my rhyme,
The price is but a single DIME.
Remember me in lonely hours,
And believe me ever
Truly yours,
THE CARRIER.
