And say the ladies really show

THE GIRL WITH THE CALICO DRESS


A fg for your upper-ten girls,
With their velvets and satins and laces,
Their diamonds and rubies and pearls,
And their milliner figures and faces.
They may shine at party or ball,
Emblazoned with half they possess,
But give me in place of them all,
Ny girl with the calico dress.
She /, plump as a partridge. and fair
AS the rose in its earliest bloom,
Her teeth with ivory compare,
And her breath with the clover perfume.
Her step is as free and as light
As the fawn's whom the hunters hard press.
And her eye is as soft and as bright,
My girl with the calico dress.
Your dandes and foplings may sneer,
At her simple and modest attire,
But the charms She permits to appear,
Would set whole iceberg on fire!
She can dance, but she never allows
The hugging, the squeeze and caress,
She is saving all these for her spouse,
My girl with the calico dress.
She is cheerful warm hearted and true,
And kind to her father and mother,
She studies how much she can do
For her sweet little sisters and brother.
II you want companion for life,
To comfort, enliven and bless.
she is just the right sort of wife.

age had considerable military reputation
He had also q knowledge Of Free Masonry,
and from that he reorganized the Philadelphia
Society. He divided its members in three
classes, and concealed from each the functions
of the other two while he as the founder
could concentrate the whole force at will
Every member was bound to secrecy, but the

His letter to Madame Moreau written
short time before he expired is characteristic
of the same extraordinary and submissive COM

days ago, both my legs were carried away by
a cannon ball. The amputation was perform
