The cupid Tax.

with apologies to Assemblyman 1sidor
Cohn of New York. who has a bill to tax
bachelors and old maids.l
Now, woe be unto the bachelor maid
And woe to the bachelor man!
No time to wait; you'd better mate
With any one you can,.
For Cohn and Cupid are hand in hand
With a brand new single tax" demand;
They'll make you pay to beat the band;
Look out for Cohn and Cupid.
There's joy in the breast of the license
clerk,
And the parson smiles with gIee
AS his fingers twitch with the gladstone
itch
OF a fat prospective fee;
The Iovelorn swain is blithe today
For the maiden dare not say him nay
For fear of the tax she'll have to pay
Since Cohn Joined hands with Cupid.
Farewell to the dreary bachelors hall.
Farewell to the bachelor girl.
When a tax is laid on the spinster staid
And tax on the single churl
For each wifeless man must tap his till
When they pass the ,Cohn and Cupid bill
Including old friend, David HID;
Hurrah for Cohn and Cupid
And who is Conn., hear you ask,
THAT he should be so stupid
To pile his tax upon our backs
And boost the game of Cupid?
Some Tilted lover full of sple cn?
Nay, nayi He's welded well. weeu:
They say he's father of fourteen;
Good boy for Command Cupid!

Pin Run.

Young folk fond of lively romp
will like pin run. 1t is easily arranged.
Fill an ordinary square box with soft
wood ashes or sawdust Give each
player half a dozen pins and let him
run around the room six times, en-
deavoring each time he reaches the
sawdust box to drop a pin in such a
way that it will stand upright in the
sawdust.
A quick run is not necessary and
might prove exhausting. A gentle trot
is best, but the player must neither
stop nor hesitate in passing the box
to let fall his pin. He who succeeds
in making the most pins stand up
right is the victor in the game.
