The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-05-25

RIDE TO THE WEDDING.

Peter would ride to the wedding-he would,
So he mounted his ass-and his wife
She was to ride behind, ifshe could
For" says Peter, "the woman, she should
Follow, not lead through life"
"He's mighty convenient, the ass, my dear,
And proper, and safe-and now
You hold by the TAIL while hold by the ear
And we'll ride to the kirk in time never fear,
If the wind and the weather allow"
The wind and the weather were not to be blamed
But the ass had adopted the whim,
That two at time was load never framed
For the back of one ass and he seemed quite
ashamed
That two should stick fast upon him.
Come, Dobbin," says Peter 'Tm thinking we Il
trot,"
"I'm thinking we WON'T" says the ass
In language of conduct, and stuck to the spot
As if he had sworn he would sooner be shot
Than lift up toe from the grass,
Says Peter, says he, "Ill whip him little
Try it, my DEAR says She
But he might just as well have whipped brass
kettle
The ass was made of such obstinate mettle,
That never a step moved he
"Ill prick him, my dear, with a needle said she,
"I'm thinking he'll alter his mind"
The ass felt the needle and up went his heels
"Im thinking" says Peter, "hes beginning to feel
Some notion of fmovlng-behind"
Now lend me the needle, and I'll prick his ear,
And ettother end too agoing"
The ass felt the needle and upwards he reared
But kicking and rearing was all 1t appeared
He'd any intention Of doing
Says Peter, says he, I'VE get on rather slow;
While one end isup, tother sticks to the ground
But I'm thinking method to move him know,
Let's prick head and tail both together, and so
Give the creature start all around"
So said, so done-all hands were at work,
And the ass he did alter his mind
For he arted away with so sudden a jerk
That in less than trice he arrived at the kirk,
But he left all his lading behind.

DR.. R. Southey, in a lecture reported
in the Lancet, remarks "Health and
longevity are not synonymous; neither
are health and great muscularity. The
most muscular men, great prize-fghters,
men who could fell an OK with their fists,
have been known to be always ailirg and
about themselves. The state
ofperfect training, regarded by those who
know little of it as a condition of most
perfect health, is rather one of morbid
imminence. Longevity, like height, is a
race attribute, but it does not signify
health. The three oldest people ever
knew, women who reached respectively
eighty-nine, ninety eight and hundced,
were valetudinarians and had been so
nearly all their lives"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1876-05-25

The Semi Tropical says; "Small farms
make near neighbors; they make good
roads; they make plenty of good schools
and churches; there is more money made
in proportion to the labor less labor is
wanted everything is kept neat, less
wages have to be paid for help; less time
is wasted more is raised to the acre;
besides, it is titled better; there is no
watching of hired help; the mind is not
kept in worry, stew and fret all the
time.

WLDDER GREEN'S LAST WORDS

"Tm goin' to die" said the Widder Green.
"I'm goin' to quit this airthly scene;
1t amt no place for me to stay
In such world as It's to-day.
Such works and ways is too much for me,
Nobody can't let nobody be.
The girls is flounced from top to toe
An that's the hull O. what they know.
The men is mad on bonds and stocks,
Swearin an shootin' an pickin' locks.
I'm real afraid I'll be hanged myself
Ef amt laid on my final shelf
There amt a cretur but knows to-day
never was lunatic anyway,
But since crazy folks all go free
I'm dreadful afraid they'll hang up me
There's another matter that's pesky hard
| can't go into a neighbor's yard
To say How be you ? or borry pin
But what the paperll have it in.
We're pleased to say the Widder Green
Took dinner on Tuesday with Mrs. Keene
Or, Our worthy friend Hiss Green has gone
Down to Barkhamstead to see her son,
Great Jerusalem can't stir
Without raisin' some feller's fur?
There amt no privacy-so to say,
No more than if this was the Judgment Day.
And as for meetin'-1 want to swear
Whenever put my head in there
Why even Old Hundreds spilled and done,
Like everything else under the sun;
1t used to be so solemn and slow
Praise to the Lold from men below
Now it goes like gallOpin steer.
High diddle diddle there and here,
No respect to the Lord above,
No moren eff He was hand and glove
With all the creturs he ever made
And all the jigs that ever was played
Preachin too-but here I'm dumb,
But tell you what I'd like it some
Eff good old ParsOn, Nathan Strong
Out O. his grave would come along,
An give us stirrin' taste O. fire.
Judgment an Justice is my desire
'Taint all love an sickish sweet
That makes this world nor 'tOther complete
But law I'm old I'd better be dead
When the worlds turin over my head,
SperitS tqlkin like tarnal fools,
Bibles kicked out o deestrlct schools
Crazy creeturs murderin' round
Honest folks better be under ground
So fare-ye.welll this airthly scene
Won't no more be pestered by Widder Green"

A SOCIAL PHILosoPHER.-Al large man
who sat on the wharf fishing recently,
gave his opinion with regard to the hard
times. He said the trouble was that cap
ital was opposed to labor, and no matter
how anxious man was to work capital
would make no concessions. He wanted
work himself he said, and once thought
he would give up, but now his wife was
able to take in washing, and he would
never yield. He intended to say more,
but he was obliged to go off to attend a
ball match.

A shadow fell,
Whose ever-deepening gloom shut out the day,
And seemed to swell
Until the blackness of that midnight hour

But Love drew nigh,
Like some ill dream the mists of darkness fade
Before her eye,
And sun and star with clearer lustre grace
