tract with some wise city politicians Of the
"loyal stripe upon the subject Of the Pres
ident's 22d Feb. speech. Alter wincing uu-
der the home-thrusts and quotations from the
speech by the countrymsn. they Thought to
discomft him by asserting that Andy was
drunk when he made it. " Very well, as you
please, replied the countrvman; " suppose
some of your sober Abolition-Disunionist
answer the Presidents drunken speech
This was poser the loyal Abs were not pre-
pared to meet and they subsided, leaving
the field in possession of their termentor, and
fastening the conviction upon his mind that
if Andy Johnson was drunk when he deliV-
cred that speech, he exhibited more sound,

you've got to do to be subjugated, is to quit

IF YOU SHOULD EER GET MARRIED.

IF you should e'er get married, John,
pIl tell you what to do
Go get little tenement
Just big enough for two,
And one spare room for company,
And one spare bed within it
Ifyou'd begin loves life Alright
You'd better thus begin it.
In future be moderate, John,
And let the stuffed chairs wait;
One looking-glnss will do for both
Yourself and loving mate.
And Brussels, too, and other things
Which make a fine appearance,
.Ifyou can well afford it, they
viii better look year hence.
Some thihl1they must have pictures, John
Superb and costly, too;
Your wife viii be picture, John,
Let that suffice for you.
Remember how the wise man said:
tent, and love within it,
Is better than a splendid house,
Win UIchGIlll5s every uluuLS.
And one word as to cooking, John,
Your wife can do that best;
For love, 10 make the biscuit raise,
Is better far than yeast.
No matter if each day you don't
Bring turkey to your table,
Twill better relish by and by,
When you are better able.
For all you buy pay money, John
Money that very day
Ifyou would have your life run smooth,
There is no better way.
a note to pay is an ugly thing,
Of thing you please to call it,
When it hangs DER a man who has
No money in his wallet
And one thing more remember, John,
To keep aloof from strife,
And never, never, never speak
A cross word to your wife.
But if you cannot keep it back,
And burnings still require it,
Go whisper it into your gun,
And then-go out and fire it.
And now, when you are married, John,
Don't try to ape the rich;
IT took them many toilsome year
To gain their envied niche;
And if you'd gain the summit, John
Look well to your beginning,
And then viii all you win repay
The care and toll Of winning.
