SOMEBODY, we don't know who, and it
makes no difference, thus warns young men
to look out for the women
Young men, keep your eye peeled when
YOU are after the women. Is the pretty
dress or form attractive, Or pretty face
even.-Flounces, boy are no consequence.
A pretty face will grow old. Paint will
wash off. The sweet smile of the first will
give way to the scowl of the termagant.
The neat form will be pitched into calico,
Another and far different being will take the
place Of the lovely goddess, who smiles
sweet and eats sour candy.-Keep your eye
peeled boy, when you are after the women.
If the little dear is cross and scolds at her
mother in the bacb-room, you may be sure
that you will get particular fits all round the
house. If she apoogises for washing dishes,
you will need girl to fan her.
If she bushes when found at the wash-tub
with her sleeves rolled up, be sure, sir, that
she is of the Goldfish aristocracy, little breed
ing and little sense. Ifyou marry a girl who
knows nothing but to commit woman slaugh
ter on the piano, you have got the poorest
piece of music ever got up. Find one whose
mind is right, then pitch in. Don't be hang
ing around like sheep thief, as though you
were ashamed to be seen in the daytime,
but walk up like a chicken to the dough,
and ask for the article like a man."
