THE MAIDEN's COMPLAINT.

i really tnlnk IL Is q lame
A woman can't propose,
Instead of waiting the caprice
Of obstinate young beaux;
Our foolish custom ne'er allows
A timid maid to choose,
But she must listen to mans choice,
Then take him or refuse.
They tell us that when leap year comes,
This privilege we have
But tits an idle tale VOW
We're nothing but mans slave.
wish some one would make q law,
To take effect direct,
That man should henceforth sit,
And woman should select.
Why, if woman now declines,
If asked some time or other,
And thus let one proposal slip,
She ne'er may get another;
But man can poke his nose around,
And pick where he's inclined to,
Or he can let the matter pass,
Just as he has mind to-
1t clearly is shameful thing,
To say the least about it.
That man alone should have n ch oiee-
Male bipeds, do you doubt it?
If custom gives the van to man,
Why don't they do their duty.
And pop the question, sans delai,
To every smiling beauty.

upon the contrivers, by adding near two yards
TO its extension; and the Duke of Marlborough
having, about the same time, beat the French,
the Gallick ladies dropt their pretensions, and
left the British mistresses of the field; the to-
kens whereof are wore in triumph to this day,
having outlasted the colors in Westminster
Hall, and almost the great generals glory.

In Rosnia, India, according to the Rev. Mr..
Walpoie, any man of that place who may be
inclined to matrimony, if ne happened to be
pleased with any of the girls whom he sees in
passing, throws an embroidered handkerchief
on her head and neck the girl is then oblig ed
to return home, regards herself as betrothed,
and appears DO more in public!

A nobleman was one night at theatre in a
side box, when a person entered the same box
in boots and spurs. The duke arose from his
seat, and with great ceremony, expressed his
thanks to the stranger, who, somewhat confu-
sed, desired to know for what reason he recei-
we'd those thanks.-The Duke gravely replied,
sfor not bringing your horse into the box

DEcrSoY is a matter Of latitude. l
