FLORA’S ALBUM. 

Hackmetack. 
SINGLE BLESSEDNESS. 
He meets the smile of young and old, he wins the 
praise of all, 
He is feasted at the banquet, and distinguished at 
the ball ; : 
When town grows dull and sultry, he may fly to 
green retreats, 
A welcome visitor in turn at twenty country seats ; 
He need not seek society, for, do what’er he can, 
Invitations and attentions will pursue the single 
man. 
Fathers and brothers anxiously attempt his taste to 
suit 5 
O’er manors without number ’tis his privilege to 
shoot ; 
Political opponents-to his principles concede ; 
He quaffs the finest burgundy, he rides the fleetest 
steed 5 
And never yet were families, since first the world 
began, 
| United, blest, and fond as those who court the sin-
