hand do n vast deal of harm by corruptipg the
tastes Of our youth, and robbing poor families
Of their dimes and quarters. With six or eight
such shops MS these open--as we are told there
were one evening last week-it will not take long
to utterly demoralise our young men and turn
the city into vast theatre Of vice and crime.
If such dens are tolerated for any great length
Of time, our streets will soon be patrOlled ~

None who have courage enough to propose,
None who have wisdom enough to disclose
That they've shirts without buttons, and pants
without straps
They have vests with fringOd edges, and coats
with torn flaps,
And their last winters hose are minus Of toes,
AHd their uncovered heels are like to get froze,
For lack Of such bodies rs SAllie and
To attend 10 the wants aud the woes We espy?
We are no coquettes aud l.
So free loving handles need not apply
Beauiy's admirers or Wits devo'Nes
Need not approach, for we never shall please;
But we know of circle whose names are untold
In Fame's shining temples or mansions Of gold,
Whose lives without spot, or blcmish, or blot,
Have won them the honor the world giveth not
For such, worthy bachelors, Sallo and
Still wait in the market-will ye not buy?
Unsullied Virtue, Sallie and 1,
Only eau offer to those who apply
Hearts warm and loving we've striven to blend
With hand ever ready in need to hefriend;
And our Fps seldom gossip, our feet rarely room
Beyond the charmed precincts Of childhood's
sweet home
Aud to wash, brew or bake, small splitter we
make,
For "Qliet and Thrift" is the motto we take
Oh rare are such housewives as Sallie aud
Lonely old bachelors, will ye not buy
We're in the market-sallie and l.
Shall We be left in the market to die
Swiftly youths ieeting years over us go,
DINNER the rays from Hopes beacon light glow,
And the dimples where Cupid hath chosen his
bed,
Too long left unkissed, will be wrinkles instead
And our hearts, like the May, will forgot to be
gay
If loves fragrant blossoms ne'er dawn on our
way;
Such is the petition Sallie and
