ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THE LADIES.
WANTED. Wanted a maiden, fair and young, To cheer my toilsome path through life ; A heart that beats with tender care, A gentle, patient, loving wife. Wanted, l^ mind to guide my own, A hand' to sooth my worldly cares, A heart to beat for me alone, And guide me past temptation's snares. Wanted, two lips of ruby hue To whisper love into mine ear ; Wanted, a maiden, pure and true, Whose presence may be ever near. Wanted, a small and graceful form To clasp within my loving arms, That I may shield her from the storm, And from the world's wild alarms. And wanted one to lead me on The narrow path that leads to bliss, For 'tis not good to be alone, Oh, will some maiden answer this. B. E. B. August 7th.
