CHANGEFUL JOE.

4 lively yoalh once did know,
The ladies' called him" changciul Joe :
Aslr0licsomc rs any kitten,
BY cupid's shaft he oft was smitten;
And yet he held the wound as light
As ia mere MOSQUITOES bite.
One day for Ellen he was signing
! he next, for Kitty he was dying
And when yoa tho't him almost finished,
His flames were suddenly diminished.
AID so his love was daily turning,
Now like q glass house furnace burning,
And now ltscemed to each spectator
His breast was a refrigerator,
What remedy can We discover
To cure the fault OF such lover.
No girl who acts by my advice
Will have such beaux at any price;
However cheap they may appear.
Ia one respect yonll find them dear:
Like certain garments, bascly made,
BY tyro's of the stitching trade
Bat hoaux worth having, must stick fast
Like Abrm Kohn's Clothing, made TO iasf'
Having just received large stock q {
prinS and summer goods, consisting OF
Ready Made Clothing,
OF every description for Mem. aud Boy, wear Ats.
