TO l:S0 A. IL.
Some Of the frst society men of Castle Shan
non, when taking their respective young lady
friends to places of amusement, are known to
allow them TO wade through the slush at foot
of the Castle Shannon incline and over the
Smithfeld street bridge, regardless of rain and
unpleasantness. This is not the correct way to
treat the ladies, and these young men may
learn wisdom and utilize the street cars on
stormy evenings. Sometimes young ladies
prefer walking to taking a stree: Car, presum-
ably when the walking is nice. There is no
authentic case on record where q young lady
cared to play the amazon in rain and slush, |
such as this route affords the present winter.
Lovely Alcestis, the daisy queen, was not more |
nice than the young ladies of this far delight
ful place. |
They well with roses will compare
All bright and sweet. of noble air;
Each one lovely prize and fair,
With sOul-lit eyes jewel rare.
Young men to win may be your fate
Presto! may be rubbed Off the slate,
Unless you heed this warning straight.
Wish you may lead in a life race grand,
Hope we will meet OH the golden sand.
Ours is the love OF a friendship true
Non-no-6us-so-lum, yours adieu.
