COMIC HINTS TO EMIGRANTS.
The brewers should to Malt-a go, The fools to rocks of Scilly, The Quakers to the Friendly Isles, The furriers to Chili. The little squalling, bawling babes, That nightly break our rest, Should be packed off to Baby-lon, To Lap-laud or to’Brest. Cooks from Splthead should go to Greece; And while the miser waits His passage to tbs Guinea Coast, Spendthrifts are in the Straits. Spinsters should to the Needles go, Wine-bibbers to Burgundy, Gourmands may lunch at Sandwich Isles, Wags poke their fun at Fundy. Musicians hasten to the Sound, All mendicants to Rome (roam), And let the race of hypocrites A t Cant-on find their home. Lovers should go to the Cape of Good Hope, To some Cape Horn is gain ; Debtors should go to O-hi-o, Our-sailora to the Maine. Bold bachelors to the United States, Maids to the Isle of Man ; The gardeners should to Botany go, And Japan. The quarrelsome in Ire-land Will find his proper level The printer when he sets these lines May post off to the devil. MORAL. Thus emigrate; and misplaced men Will then no longer flout us. And those that aren’t provided for May strive to do without us.
