What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising with one humorous sidebar**. The main content is **"The Good Old Way,"** a sentimental poem celebrating traditional courtship and marriage—a young couple meeting, falling in love "the good old way," marrying, raising ten children, living virtuously, and dying respected. It's nostalgic moralizing typical of 19th-century periodicals. The only satirical element is a brief **caption dialogue** at bottom: a woman asks her neighbor whether "Willie is corrupting the parrot or whether the parrot is corrupting Willie," referencing a *Washington Post* item. The joke plays on anxieties about corrupting influences on youth—here absurdly applied to whether a child or pet is the bad influence on the other. The remainder consists of advertisements for pens, ink, furniture, patent medicines, railroads, and shoes—typical Judge magazine filler. Most of the page is **commercial rather than editorial content**, making satire minimal here.

Some thought they'd have a family— Some blockheads answered nay. ‘They raised ten children—yes, they did— “The good old way. They lived and helped each other, As they agreed before, And so God's blessing came to them In basket and in store. They knew enough to save a cent, Safe for a rainy day; And peacefully through life they went, ‘The good old way, ‘They lived long, useful, Christian lives, in all good, honest pride, Till old Time banged them with his scythe, ‘And then of course they died. ‘They had great, splendid funerals, “The best words folks could say ; ‘Then side by side we buried them ‘The good old way. This is a song and sermon too, ‘And true memorial rhyme ; And folks who live so just and true Are blessed all the time. A splendid, loving, useful life, Such always find it pay Who walk like these, my kith and kin, ‘The good old way. ‘Their graves are green, they may be seen, Their monuments I see, And memory loves them back again For all their love to me. Love rules the world with power and might, Love guides us home to stay, And heaven shines bright to kindly light ‘The good old way. —Brooklyn Eagle. “It’s very puzzling,” said a worried-looking woman to one of her neighbors.‘ What is that?” "+I can't tell whether Willie is corrupting the parrot or whether Washington Post, FACIAL BLEMISHES VoopuURy, Dermatetegtet, jd Btrcet, SkW YORK Send $1: pakd west of ‘aver,of the best Candies in the World, put uj reselhtmulsone boxes ure.
