sad, and your whole life SO pregnant with
despair. Itis because you remain there,
that you see no, flowers and hear no music.

Bless your heart! there are plenty of blue,

definite number of dainty hands longing. to
be pressed. Suppose you, that two eyes may

Charlie" and to kiss you? Tobe sure!
Let me see there's Mary, Carrie, Ida,
Eva, Alice and Lula-put on your hat and
call upon every one of. them. Do SO often
and take my word. .forit, that before many
weeks are over, you will be gathering flowers
for one of tbem-takiug moonlight walks
with one of them When that time comes
you will be q better and a happier man
flowers will burst into bloom where tears had
hitherto fallen-stars shall be kindled even
amid the clouds-and an unknown melody
shall break upon yoar ear and stir the depth
of your soul with a rapture more exquisite
than the sweetest dream of youth-more
lasting than the stars
Now, We bachelors so dreary,
Feeling desolatc and weary, =.
Crying 81 have no one near me-
| All alone
Be advised in time to marry
To some blue-eTed little Carrie,
For you need no longer tarry
All alone. =,
When at home, have one to. kiss you;
When away, have one to miss you,
Or the girls will soon dismiss you
All alone.
