Too Troo, Too Troo.

Man that is married to woman is of many days and full of trouble. Tn the morning he draws his salary, and in the evening behold it is all gone. It is a tale that is told, it vanisheth, and no one knoweth whither it goeth. He riseth up clothed in the chifiy garments of the night and seeketh the somnolent paregoric wherewith to heal the colicky bowels of his offspring. He imitateth the horse or ox, and draweth the chariot of his posterity. He spendeth his sßlkels in the purchase of fine linen and purple, ' to cover the bosom of his family, yet he himself is seen at the gates of the city with one suspender. He cometh forth as a flower, and is cut down. There is hope of a tree when it is cut down that the tender roots thereof will sprout again, but man goeth to his home, and what is he then ? Yea, he is altogether wretched.
