110 THE FOGY DAYS AND NOW; 



DISAPPOINTED LOVE. 



f ovE is a powerful thing; it has caused more than oue man 

 to leave the roof of his father and mother and <xo to 

 furrin parts with a conquering female and be exposed to her 

 tender mercy; and agin, it has been the cause of many disap- 

 pointments, for many fellows have got left, because the cruel 

 female didn't want him to move off with her, for more than 

 many times, she has preferred some other fellow to go along 

 and keep house for her. 



The human bosom is also a mighty much of a thing; it is 

 somewhat labyrinthian as to the character of its apartments, 

 and in one respect it is liken unto a reservoir, they both have 

 capacity more or less, the one inginerly holds mud and watei' 

 and trash and sich ; the other holds love and joy^ and some 

 other things, not so nice: fear, anger, hate, jealousy etc., 

 and all these latter sins, are called passions, and they go in 

 and come out of a fellow's bosom as they please, when they get 

 the bulge on him. We dont know for certain the number of 

 therooms they stay in ; some say the heart, the main office, but 

 we have thought they meander about in the different streets 

 and suburbs of his physicological anatomy, that sometimes they 

 may scoot from the heart to the hollow of the head, and l)nck 

 and forth, and we have seriously considered that they mought 

 at times,^show up on the outside of a man, in sich places as the 

 skin of his face, the optics of his eyes, and the very har of his 

 head, selah?
