HE HAS NO WIFE - 2d Edition

He has no wife - He's quite alone,
Pleased and happy with his home;
Each day that pass', new pleasures give,
He meditates, and learns to live.

He has no wife - he does not know,
The ills, from wedded life that flow,
At home - abroad - he may abide,
No brow to frown, no tongue to chide.

He has no wife - his joys are such
Tho' poor, without a wife he's rich;
But with riches, without a wife,
With health too? Oh! What a life.

09/26/1826 Valuable Improvement - An ingenious mechanic has invented a machine by which ladies can lace their Corsets equal to a two-horse power. This will be a great saving in the time of attendants, and will enable ladies to dispense with the screws and wind-lasses formerly in use. In a letter to the inventor, Miss Wasp states that she has reduced her waist from five inches in diameter, to four and a sixteenth!!
