THE FINNISH WAY.
BY SIXBAD. The Finnish Govern v ;pircs to finish Finnish bachck , j would appear that it desires, to sec that its exchequer soars. “The cost is high,” the fishheads say, “of rUnning properly the State, we cannot make the railways pav, and we have a deficit great; and so recourse we have to seek from those who, selfishly inclined, display the most disgusting check, in marrying to lag behind. The single man could stand a touch, to help the land's finances out, for he by fate is favoured much, so long as Cupid he can flout. Does he pay house rent? Not at all, in lodgings always him you find, and bills for dresses large and small, do not perplex his worried mind.” And so a heavy tax they’ve placed on those in single bliss who stand. I think this somewhat foolish haste. Now parsons will be in demand.
