5. Marry Yung!—thare iz but one good excuse for a marriage late in life, and that iz,—a seckond marriage.


Q.–What iz the best thing out yet for real comfort?

Now gather round the kitchen fire,
And pile the chunks on hier and hier,
Git out the old fiddle and partners choose,
And shake her down in your cowhide shoes.
