EVEN TEMPER.

It ain't no use ter grumble Nur it ain’t no use ter fret; A man would live no longer By a gittin’ all upset; It’s the man of even temper That is allers sure to win, An’ the man that’s aliens kickin’ That is gettin’ taken in. The hog that’s allers sqnalin’ Git’s tho smallest share of slop, An’ the man that’s allers growlin’ Never raised half a crop, An’ of en when a feller Gits a licken, it has been The man who talked the loudest Just before the fight begun.

THE GIRLS THAT ARE WANTED.

The girls that are wanted are good girls— Good from the heart to the ips ; Pure as the lily is white and pure, Prom its heart to its sweet leaf tips. The girls that are wanted are home girls— Girls that are mother’s right hand ; That fathers and brothers can trust to, And the little ones understand. Girls that are fair on the hearthstone, And pleasant when nobody sees ; Kind and sweet to their own folk, Ready and anxious to please. The girls that are wanted are girls of sense, Whom fashion can never deceive; Who can follow whatever is pretty, And dare what is silly to leave. The girls that are wanted are girls with hearts, They are wanted for mothers and wives; Wanted to cradle in loving arms The strongest and frailest of lives. The clever, the witty, the brilliant girl, There are very few understand ; But, oh ! for the wise, loving home gir’s There’s a constant and steady demand.
