The eilly rules which folks have got
For courting now a-daye.
They've east aside the good old effle, -

As ono can easy tell,
Fdr when a fellow sees a gal.
That suits him pretty well.
Ha's pit to:be first " introduced,"
And theri he pens her notes,
And pretty soon he comes around,
To see the kind old folks.
By jinks,•we don't believe it pays,
The way the boys court now•a-days
Tile "addresses" then be gees to pay,
' (They don't spark soy more,)-
And every night you see him pull
The white knob at pie door,
And soon a "eeriest,' ushers him
Into the parlor gloom
Aniett comes his dockland "takes a seat
Oa t'other side the; room !,
And there they sit acid sigh and gale _
They call that courting bow-a-days!
Sometimes they talk 'botit story books;
Sometimes the , dady"isings ;
Sometimes she plays the organ, tpo,
To show her finger ringe;
Sometimes they take a pleasure walk,
Sometimes they take a ride,
And by and-by thp fellow groans—
"Oh! won't you be toy bride r"
To bow and scrape alhousand ways,
They think that's courting now-a-days!
They set a day and -hire it
And rent n church or two, •
So every boy a'Aut the town,
Can have a separate pew; '
And when the hour at last arrives,
In gorgeous array,
They more up to the waiting priest,
Who "ties the knot" stinightwaz;
Congratulations, words ofipraire,
• Wind up the courting now-a-clays.
o . give us back the good old style
Of merry days gone by, -.
When, we could "go" with any gal
That chanced to take our eye
Still took her home from spelling school,
'Bout nine o'clock at night,
Then by the old stone hearth's warin side,
We sparked till broad daylight !
We hued and kissed, till break of day,
Ncr beard the old clock toll the hours away!
We tell you, chum, such conking pip—
It went ahead of now-a.days !
