The PLEDGE.

The PLEDGE.
By the Bard of Oak Hall
In Washington, 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 acquaintance, strangers and
cousins; '. B.. .-
But she crotchet had got in her head,
And said she determined never TO wed,
Until she loved a handsome youth
Who would grant all her reg nests in truth,
And bind him fully never to break
The pledge be had taken tor her sake.
The young men stood aghast with fear;
Some whSeked their boots, some pulled their
Some said twas religion, some said twas
But it took them aback, and they felt quite
funny. .... E
Among them there was a fine young man,
Says he, 81 love her as we'll as can;
Now I'll make her the promise, both open and
free;
And agree to stand by it, whatever it be-"
The fair one stepped I'D to his side, ...
And said, 'sShould 1 now be your bride,
You must promise here, before us all, ..
To buy your clothes at Smiths Oak Hall.
No other can suit a husband of mine,
The coats are so handsome, the pants divine"
Says Johnny, laughing, "You dear little elf
Ii you like them so well get a pair for your.
