TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

Around this land no man should roam
With discontinued mind,
For every class a fitting home
With greatest ease can find:
The writer's all should go to Penn.
The debtors flock to O.,
And Col would be for colored men
paradise. I know.
The mining class would find in Ore.
A chance to raise the wind,
And, as you may have guessed before,
The rich should go to Ind.
Religious folk should go to Mass.
And bunko men to Conn,
And lovers who would win lass
Should find home In Mon.
The bachelors should go to Miss,
I'm sure you will agree,
And every maiden who reads this
Should take a train for Me.
There is home for farmer men
In Idaho. b'gosh,
And money for the broke In Tenn.
And room for tramps in Wash.
The sick should be at home In Ill,
And drinking men in Kan,
While Ark, no doubt, with Joy would fl
The ancient river man.
All other persons, near and far,
Whate'er their age or sex Is,
Who are not suited where they are
VIII find there's room in Texas.
