If You Should Marry.

Ii Won shonld ever get married, John,

Your wife will be n picture, John,
Let that suffice for You.

And one word rs TO cooking, John
Your wife can do the best;
- 'D'tt w thahC lilt rise,
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 we are better able.
For all you buy, pay money, John
Money that very dayl
Ii YOU would have your life run smooth
There is no better way;
A rote to pay is an ugly thing
IL thing You choose To call it
When 1t hangs DER a man who has
No money in his wallet.

Don't try 10 ape the rich;
