wHAT GOETH OH AT PRESENr.

And in these days the young man taketh counsel with himself, and saith, "Lo, now, have l not twenty-seven trade shekels of m,ne own, and am not comedy and pleasant youth, yea, and one that masheth the maidensl And shall not go unto the masquerade ball, and shall not rejoice, yea, even with music and much dancing, and make merry with my friends, and have tho boss good time?
 And there being no man to say him nay, he answereth unto himself after his own will, and he goeth forth and buyeth himself ticket, and in so doing drop peth ten trade shekels.
 And when the night of the ball is come, he anointeth his hair with the ex- tract of the bear yea, even of that bear which is obese; and he donneth the raj ment of the ungodly, and the white cravat of them that sin, and he goeth forth unto the ball.
 And yea, verify, I say unto you, that young man standeth on line seventeen iurlongs in length, and ono man in breadth, and finally he payeth one trade shekel for a hat cheek, and quarter of trade shekel to check his umbrella, and he saileth proudly into the ballroom and To, and behold, his tie is under his left ear, and he hath the appearance of one that is premature in his revelry.
 But he is concerned about none of these things, and he sayeth unto himself, "Lo, now l have come hore for to have the boss good time, and if so be it be concealed about this establishment, shall l not have it? Yea, and with trimmings also."
 And he goeth about for to find the boss good time.
 And he seeketh it in the wine-room, and on the dancing floor, and in the lob bies; earnestly and faithfully does he seek it, and the night waxeth and waneth and the morning is come, and he is still seeking for it.
 And at this point 1 do beg and hum- bly, supplicate the printer-man and him who setteth up this chronicle, that he shall here jab in stars, yea, even three stars, being one for each hour from the twelfth hour of the night even unto the third hour of the morning.
 
 And about the third hour of the morn ing, that young man shall still be seek. ing that good time.
 And he hath had his hat, even his crush-hat. kicked off his head by naid- on of the best society, but one who knoweth not the trammels of the Philis- tine, and whose raiment fig red and striped as to her hose.
 And he has had seven free fights and drinks unto seventy times seven, and he knoweth not his best friend from bun. bo-steerer, and the tie that was afore- time under his left ear is now over his left ear, and he hath left one coat-tail in the hands of stranger and pilgrim in the wine room, and he hath invited a policeman to dance the can-can.
 And he is still seeking for that good time, and unto the policeman that taketh him home he confdeth the fact that he hath not found it, and he prayeth to be let alone that he may seek it further.
 And here l beseech the printer-man that he jab in more stars.

 And, yea verify, l say unto you, on the morrow shall that young man bear a head on him like unto the head of the army, but for all the size thereof shall he not be able to tell what became oi the good time that be sought, and would not be comforted because he found it not Sclah
