By MRS. L. s. GOODWIN
We ladies have got new fashion!
You gentlemen, didn't you know it?
Good, bad or between, feed your passion,
Come out, as you're bound to, and blow it"
Say never a word of your changes
In hats, boots, coats, pants and collars;
Nice wisdom gonr toilet arrangesfg)
And you shine just like counterfeit dollars.
We carry, of course, all the cotton!
Nav be some of US women know Oft enough:
Should it all from the market be gotten [enough.
You your heads might tn-yest-they are soft
Wear hoops. do we? well, and what of it?
90. the fashion is awfully freakyr'
We could club and hoop you to great profit,
If twould hinder your being so ieaky.
What business have you to be knowing
The pattern exact of our unders?
Much less wide abroad to be showing
The knowledge, as one of the wonders.
Talk Of tongues of old women for tattl-!
NV goodnessi they make no beginning;
Shame on your ungaEant '' whoop" battle!
Grand victory you would be winning!
Call our bonness rosettes, if it suits ye,
'Tis better than "coal-hod" or charger"
The names-never satisfied brutes ye!
Ye gave to them when they were larger.
When we wish for your "petty" assistance,
To teach US what's not and what's pretty,
In matters of hourly existence,
If we can't let you know, It's pity
So herewith take kind invitation
To leave us alone for minute,
From the mtliner's nameless creation"
To the gaiter and what is within it.
May the hoops bring you back to your senses;
Your lips ought to smart wanting kisses
Wen not take away our defences,
Or at least wouldn't nor help You to contrlve
wavs to get at US, if it wasn't that we might
suffer some as well as you in abstaining from
such blisses.
Come up, you first class Of vagabonds, in
geography and logic cried Larry O'Rouke the
Irish schoomaster.
George give description Of the airth and show
your iarnin.'
Yes, sir The earth is a vast globe, filed with
mud, filth, tadpoles, mud-larks, sebastopoies and
Shanghais.'
All right. What are its productss
sWhiskey, gin, Nebraska bills, busted banks and
shin plasters.'
