When from my room | chance to stray,
TO spend an hour at close Of day, | ever
find q place so dear, where some friend
treats TO larger beer-Socramento Age.
All! yes my friend of city life, sure s1ch
a treat cures such a strife, but better than
such a dose by far, are pleasures Of a fine
cigar.-Piacer Herald.
Such pleasures may suit baser minds,
but with the good no pleasure finds we
think the purest JOY in life, is making love
to ones own wife, Volcano Ledger.
Most wise your choice,my worthy friend,
in Hymen's joys your cares to end, but we,
though tired Of single life, can't boast of
having our own wife, and so, when meath
our cares we faint, we fly to kiss some gal
that aint-yet.-Napa Reporter.
That "Lager beer" will bile provoke,
while "ine Havanas" end in smoke. To
court ones wife is better far, than lager
beer or vile cigar. Kisses the dew of life's
young morn, break on the lips as soon as
born. These all are naught to that great
est joy-that darling thing, the first born
boy.-EVening Ledgar. .
Tis true a boys a wished for blessing,
but then suppose the first a girl! A dear
sweet child with ways caressing, with pout-
ing lips and faxen curl, with dimple checks
and laughing eye, to come and bid "pap-
Ply" good bye! So whether boy or wheth-
er tother, embrace the babe and then the
mother.-San Francisco Globe.

and we'd make one if we could, we'd also
take us a little wife, and love her all through
future life, the baby too, of course we'd take,
and love it for it's mammals sake, a boy or
gal we would not care, so it resembled dad
dy-dear.
