THi! SPOILED CHILD
Am-Irf Me Kiss Him for His Mother.
Os coarse the following lines are not
f f<t>ble to any youngsters is this
community:
IM me whip hiss far his mothsr,
Bs Is seen s naughty boy ;*
He bob* tries to smother, •
And he's broken Emmy's toy.
Os the <holl gave to Biles,
He hot melted off the nose,
And there it really no tailing
To whet length his mitehief goes.
Lest night, he pot e creeker
'Neath his Ann* Jemims’s eheir,
And he told me saeh e wheeker
When I asked how esme it there.
Thee when poor oM Mr*. ToodlesJ
Wes jost starting off by rail,
Us Usd her two set poodles
Test together by the toil.
It reelly it quits shocking
Hew one's norms he doily jars ;
He puts pins into one's stockings,
And Ceysnno in ons’s cigars.
Ton may guest that many another
Boyish trick he s daily at,
So rfi whip him for his mother,
As e tiresoma little brat.
Young’ Ladies.
One of the three social evils of this
age is' admitted to be the reluctance of
oar young men to early marriages. They
won't marry now, we are told, as they
used to, on (300 a year. Depend upon
it, jp many cates it is not the odd hun
dred or two that is wauting—it’s the
attraction. We have lost that joyous
and familiar intercourse between neigh
bors' families, where young people’s in
dividualities bad space and opportunity
to develope themselves, and heart met
heart. Our modish Cupid has over
strung his bow—his arrow don’t hit
home. Young ladies bide away the key
to their hearts s<^ carefully that nobody
thinks it worth looking for.
Who is to choose the ‘'one” out of the
bevy of proper behaved young damsels
like a row of hollyhocks, differing only
in height and shape and color? They all
look alike, and walk and dress alike;
and for anything that appears to the
contrary, think and feel alike. Why (
such a choice is an act of deliberate
intention, matrimony prepense; very
few young men dare to venture upon it.
No wonder they calculate the butcher's
and the baker's bill before they take
such a plunge as that.
■ Don’t think I talk like a cynical old
bird not to be caught with chaff. I talk
as the exponent of what my own feel
ings would be if I vfere young, and open
as I once was to the conviction of bright
eyes, my nephew, Jack Hawthorne, not
long home from the Crimea, six foot
one, independent, hairy as a Skye ter
rier, brave as a lion, gentle as a grey
hound, and I should say, impressive de
cidedly.
“What I missed most,” said he, in
his open-hearted, unabashed simplicity,
“was the sight of a woman’s face.”
Whereupon I spoke—
“l wonder, Jack, you don’t marry; it
would make you a happier man than
living half your days in a smoking room
of a club. Why Dot pick up a nice girl,
and set up the family man at the old
manor?”
“Well, so I would,” said Jack, inter
jectively between the puff and his cigar;
*‘But there are no girls now—they're all
young ladies! Catch me marrying a
young lady!”
Duelists Satirised.—The editors
of the Tintamarre, a satirical little print
in Paris, have given their quarrelsome
contemporaries a broad hint that their
duels are verging on the ridiculous.—
Two of them, M. M. Rossignol andMax
ime, agreed to fight, and went down to
the country with swords, seconds and
the usual paraphernalia ; the men were
placed, and the seconds interfered,
drawing np the following qneer decla
ration : “The undersigned seconds,
seeing, from the look of their principals,
and the way they flashed their swords,
that they were in earnest, and consider
ng that the cause of the duel was a mere
rifle, decree that it must not take place.”
Mrs. Partington’s Last.—“ Where’s
the fire ?” asked Mrs. Partington of a
fireman, from an npper window, as the
bells were waking the night with their
clamor.
“In h—II,” was the ungallant response,
naming the hottest place of perpetual
warmth.
“Dear me,” said the old lady, not
comprehending him, “Is it so far off?
I wish it was nearer, for your sake. But
he’ll get there soon,” she muttered to
herself, “if he goes on as be does now,”
and she went to sleep again, invoking
blessings on the guardians of public
safety.
—“Who made the world?” asked a
teacher ot a little boy who had not been
long in school. The boy shook his head
and said nothing. The teacher threat
ened to whip him unless he answered.
The boy feeling compelled to a confes
sion of some sort, broke forth, “Well,
master, I made it, but I’ll surely never
do it again!”
Woman’s Aoe.—How long Eve, the
first woman, lived, we do not know. It
is a curious fact that in sacred history,
the age, death, and burial of but one
woman, Sarah, the wife of Abraham, is
distinctly noted. Woman’s age, ever
since, appears to have been a subject
for history or discussion.
An UKBiASSin Opinion or an Old
Foot.—Some people fly into raptures
about a blackbird's whistled notes;
others talk sentimental humbug about
the lark’s wildly thrilling notes, or tbe
nightingale’s pleading notes; but my
opinion is, that the only notes worth
admiring are—bank notes.
