CITY NOTES.
HAPPY BACHELOR.

He saws and splits no kindling wood,
He has no kitchen fire to light.
When day is done his cares are DER,
And once in bed he takes his ease
He need not rise to walk the floor
These chilly nights child to please.
For him there are no household cares,
The breakfast bell his slumber breaks,
He dresses and descends the stairs
To oatmeal mush and buckwheat cakes.
For him life's river smoothly runs,
He's happy, jolly, and content,
He has no wife and little ones
On whom his earnings must be spent.
Let him enjoy it while he can.
When age and loneliness shall come
He'll wish be was a married man
With sons and daughters, wife and
home.
