By THE BARD OF MARBLE HALL.
In Baltimore, famed for ladies fair,
Lived beautiful girl with fiaxen hair
And bonny blue eyes with liquid light,
And roseate lips, glorious sight.
The youngsters fell in love by dozens.
Friends and acquaintanceS. strangers and cousins
But she crochet had got in her head,
And said she determined never to wed,
Until she loved handsome youth
Who would grant all her requests in TRUTH
And bind him fully never TO break
The pledge he had taken for her sake.
The young men stood aghast with fear:
Some whack ed their boots, some pulled their hair;
some said twas religion, some said twas money;
But 1t took them aback and they felt quite funny
Among them there fine young man;
Says he. Il love her as well q; | eau,
Now II make her the promise, both open and free,
And agree 20 stand by it whatever it be-
The fair one stepped up to his side,
And said. should now be your bride,
You must promise here before MS all,
TO buy your clothes at MARBLE HALL.
No other can suit husband of mne
The coats are so handsome. the pants divine"
Says johnny, a laughing, "H GU dear little elf,
