Choosing by Appearances.
Ry PROFESSOR PLAINsPEAKER.
lady once q suitor had,
Whose manners she admired;
And. but for going plainly clad,
Was one Ia be desired.
Another, also, sought to win
This Iady's tender passion;
Who called TO plead. when dressed up, in
The very latest fashion.
New which," thought she. " had best take!
for. tho not rich, I'm pretty;
And should handsome fortune make,
By being cute and witty
81 like the plain drest man the best
But what's the use of talkngl
My pride could never stand the test,
With him TO go out walking"
mo no! never could endure
what folks would say about me.
For loving one who looks SO pOor
So. he must live without me-"
And so. proud beauty, she dismissed
The worthy man forever,
And chose the one of Fancy's list,
And thought herself quite clever.
But just imagine her surprise,
70 find that she had married
Amn whose riches were his size
And all the clothes he carried;
While lie whose love she did JIsdaiu-
Now ladies, mark what folierS,
Brought one who loved him, tho SO plain.
Fire hundred thousand dctlars!
