PICKING THE WICKED.
81 wish was q little bird
Win DlII so SnHTp anu PICktU,
I'd pick the good from out the land,

I'd pick the good from out the lana,
And then I'd pick the wicked"
'Yes, I'd pick the foul-mouthed slanderer;
the silly tongued Ratterer; the heartless de-
ceiver. I'd pick the wolf in sleeps clothing
who would take from the widow and orphan,
that which their daily need demands. I'd
pick the scoundrel who would trifle with maid
enly innocence, and break the true heart that
has confded itself to his protection; I'd pick
the misers-and oh, how I'd pick the mean,
contemplate william who would take money
from man of pervert appetite, for that
which would sink him beneath the level of
the brute creation; I'd pick the serpent, who,
in my presence would act the friend, and in
my absence the fiend
I'd pick the friend that gold would chase,
or misfortune scare. I'd pick the lady who
would sit all day in the parlor and chat with
the beaux, while her mother was hard at
work in the kitchen; I'd pick the one who
would waste the energies of her mind upon
foolish nonsensical novels, the one who would
dance till two in the morning-remaining in
bed until eleven, and then complain OF dys-
pepsia: I'd pick the one that would f1irt with
a mustached foreigner, and sneer at an honest,
plain dressed man-and [ don't know how
long Ishould be obliged to pick, before stop
ping if should pick one half of the wicked
ones
