THE FARMERS SONG,
We envy not tho princoly man,

We envy not tho princoly man,
In city or in town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Run up hill or down;
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor yet his heaps ofgoId,
We would not own his sordid heart,
Forhis wealth thrice told.
We arc the favored ones ofcarth,
We breath pure air each morn.
We sow-we reap the golden grain
Wcgather in the corn;
We toiI-wc live on what we earn,
And more than this we do,
We hear starving millions round,
And gladly feed them, too.
The doctorplods through storm and cold
Pods at his patients will,
When dead and gone he plods again,
To get his lengthy bill.
The printer, (blcSS his noble soul)
He grasps the mighty earth,
And stamps it on our welcome sheet,
TO cheer the farmers hearth.
We sing the honor ofthc pIow,
And honor to the press
Two noble Instruments Of toll.
With eacha power to bless;
The bone and nerve Of this fast age,
True wealth Of human kind
One tiIIs the ever generous earth,
The other tillS the mind.
EsG"Go it, Farmers and Printers.

FLIRTING.

Give us any kind of u female, black,
brown, manned or dcformed, before u
flirt. Such Il one has neither purity or
principle in her soul. Things SO cold
are altogether too cold and insipid for
her indicate criminal temperament
The man who marrics her will curse his
fate rs long as he lives. From flirting
nothing respectable ever resulted. Had
females never hrtcd, females had never
'osttheir characters; tlirtationis the first
step to dishonor. The first ogIe Of the
ruined maiden may be compared to the
first glass Of the tipplcr. We do not say
that all tlirts turn out ut last to lead in
famous lives, but they are certainly on
the very edge Of so degrading them
selves.
Young ladies who coqucttc with cyc-
ryyoung man they meet, who look Won
dcriuIly sweet, and kind and sentiment
tai ON every stranger that comes, who
ilsh for the praises and compliments OF
the men wherever they go, who grow
outrageous y offended if politcncss is
paid to any one but themselves, and
VINO are always Jumping, ready to go
out when asked, no matter by whom
