LOCAL INDUSTRIES.
(BY A TOO-CONFUDINO OKBDETOB.) Oh, I lately have studied a science, And I've got off my subject quite pat : It is how to accumulate money — Laugh, live well, and grow fat ! First turn a contractor for building, The manners of Pecksniff elect, Assume a high tone, buy a buggy — And drive to your work, for effect ! To go m for all tenders at venture, , Get m all the money you can, , ; Incur all the risks y,ou are ablerYou'll find this a most excellent ..plan. ! Never finish a contract once taken, Ignore all the quarterly bills - : That come from the butcher and; baker, And treat them as Holloway's pills. > Don't pay wagesTexcept on compulsion The uttermost farthing, though, draw ' On houses you've started; secure then The help of a;limb of the law. Through the Court he will put you serenely," '.. Your creditors you can scoff at, And obtain a fair billet by scheming ; So laugh, live well, and grow fat. —Alexandra.
