than any other candidate before the coun'

administered bold rebuke to Black Re-

said to those who are seeking political

SINGLE LIFE.
BY AN OLD MAID.

mean to live a single life,
And live so till | die;
I'll never be husbands wife
Ill tell the reason why:
The men are a dcccit(ul set
They'll talk as fair as day;
But when they've caug you in their net
They'll turn another way.
O horrid! horrid! only think,
While wives are cooking victuaIs,
To see carcass filled with drink
The floor with 'bacco spittles!
Then how disgusting is the noise
or fretful husband bawling:
How little peace vile enjoys
With lots Of children squalllng.
0 no: I'll never married be
While stars are in the sky:
A single ifc's the life for me-
A maid I'll live and die!
