The Age ol Slang.
It wasn’t so when I was young—
We used plainer language then ;
We didn't -peak of “tueui galoot*"
When meaning boys or men.
When speaking of a nice hand-write
Of J<**. or Tom, or Bill,
We did it )dain-wedidn’t quill.” say,
"He slings a nasty
And when we saw a girl please, we liked,
Who never failed to
We called her pretty, neat ami good,
But not “about her dnese."
Well, when we met a good old friend
We \\ e greeted hadn’t him, lately lint seen, didn't say,
"Hello, you oid sardine."
Tin* boys sometimes got mad and fit ;
We spoke of k iks and blows
Bl.t now liny “whack on the snoot,"
And “) gbit b in on the liose.”
I Mice when a youth was turned away
h roiu In r In* held most dear.
He walked upon Ids feet—but now
lie “walks oil on his ear.”
We used to dance when I was young,
And used to cal! it so ;
Bet now they don't—tln-y toe.” only “sling
The light fantastic
Of death we spoke in language plain,
That 110 one did perplex ;
But in 1 lo se days one doesn't die—
lie “passes ill hi#checks.”
We praised the man of common sense;
" llis judgUK-nt’s good,” we said ;
But now we say, "Hell, that old plum
Has gut a level ln-ail.”

“Didn't I ti 11 you, Dobbs,” said Fred
laughing, “that there was still a chance

It was a motley collection—110 less
various in but ward appearance than
character of the contents. Some were
indo.-ed in enveloiies, otliers without,

a half sheet of common letter paper, and
inclosed in a hiown enveio) e. Some

thimhle, otliers—titose of greater pre

wax. or with small motto-seals, with
various devices and inscriptions. Of
these ittcri; lions I recollect a few. as,
“Wholly thine,’’“Faithful till death,”
“Heme won,” “Forget me not,” etc.
Then for devices there was a pair of
clasped hands, a heart,pierced with darts
and others of the same character.
.Seine of these letters were irresistibly
ludicrous. One I recollect, was from a

Noneof the ladies who were

From so many writers I found it difli
