Il'« ju»t a* you »ay. neighbor ilree®,
A Weasar*. v , toy wi tnj
Such Mother for buttle an! work "
I never have fottkd la toy Htr. rt Ii
But then the heeut ever; one elan
At but; «* bird* on the wing ;
There it uev«r • in ten eel t fef reel,
She it enrlhtt fclgaty thing. t.
She make. the beet brow) in tha lowa,
Ilrr usee are a perfect delight.
Her r.'fche n rifh golden brown,
Her eniller< and pudding* test right.
But, then, while I eat them, tha lelU
Os the care en.l the worry they bring,
Os the maiAyr-lik* toil* the endures—
O, the * adth n fidgety fbing !
My hooso v* noat as a pin—
You should too how the door-knobs
shine—
And all of the soft cushioned chnir*
And nicely swept floors art' uiiae.
But thou she so frets at the dust,
Jit a fly, at a straw, or a string,
That I stay eat es doors all I eau,
She U such a fidgety thing !
She doctors the neighbors j 0, yes !
If s child baa the measles or croup,
Sbo is there with her saffron and squills,
Her daiuty-madc gruels and soap.
Bbtthen she Insists on her Tight
To physio my blood in the spring,
And she takes the whole charge of my bile,
0, she's suoh a fidgety thing!
You have read of a spirit so meek,
So meek that it never opposes,
Its own it dares never to seek—
Alas ! I am meeker than Moses !
But then I am not reconciled
The subordinate music to sing,
I submit to get rid of a row,
She is such a fidgety thing.
It's just as you say, neighbor Green,
A treasure to me has been given ;
But sometimes I fain would ho glad
To lay up my treasure in Heaven.
But then overy life has its cross,
Most pleasures on earth have their sting:
She’s a pleasure, I kuow, neighbor Ureon,
But she’s such a fidgety thing.
From the London Cor. of the li. Y. IVnrid.
A Decidedly French Story of a
Hen-pecked Husband.
It is about a certain Mrs. N ,
whom you may see daily driving through
the streets at a furious pace, with her
meek-eved husband at her side, his face
bearing the impress of fear in every
feature. He would remind you of
Sir. —i — Somebody’s picture of despair,
if the ladicrous were not blended quite
so strongly with affright. Mrs. N ,
however, is a stunner—a little hit
many, hut a magnificent creature, and
drives her phaetou well, though she
does hold the reins a little too tightly,
perhaps. Imagine, then, if you can,
her indignation when she heard for the
first time that Mr. N had accepted
an invitation to sup at Brown’s, a jolly
fellow of his bachelor days.
“Only ourselves, you know, and Jones
and Robinson,” had said Brown, and
Mr. X accepted, not without mis
givings, however, for what he
would have to encounter when he com
municated his rash promise to Mrs.
N . As fate would have it, his wife
looked awfully splendid and fierce that
night. Between love and fear his tongue
refused to speak the words. lie would
wait till next morning—there was no
hurry. In a word, he did not tell her
at all, and it was by the merest chance,
of course, that she heard of it^
“And so, sir, I hear you are going to
supper with that horrible man, M%
Brown, to morrow?”
“I certainly ara invited, my dear.”
“And what do you propose doing,
Mr. N?”
“To accept the invitation, of course,
my dear.”
“Then, of course, you expect me to
accompany you ?”
“To a bachelor’s supper party, my
dear? Impossible!”
“Then you don't go, that is all, my
dear.”
And Airs. N closed her mouth,
and spoke no more that evening. Mr.
N- resolved he would be master
this time, and in silence made his plans.
The day came. No more had been
said on either side—nothing relative to
the subject was said now. Yet lam
reluctantly compelled to record the
fact that Mr. Brown and his friends
were disappointed of their friend
N’s company that night.
“Ibat she wouldn’t let him
come,’’said one.
“I only saw him this morning,” said
Brown, and he promised to be here.
“ What a lark if we called on him.”
“ Let us,” say all.
And they did so.
A thundering knock, N——*s street
door was opened to Brown, Jones, and
Itobinson, and, they were shown into
the dining-room where Mr. and Mrs.
N sat immovable in their chairs
—fast asleep.
They had administered a strong
opiate to each other, unawares. The
wife to keep the husband at home—the
husband to quiet the wife.
A divorce is pending.
Counterfeiting is California.—
The Alta Californian says : “Certain
persons in California are stamping base
metal into the semblance of coin, cover
ing it bv a galvanic process with a thin
coat of gold, and selling it to simple
people as pure gold. The business has
been carried on extensively, and some
persona think the little bits of pewter
with a film over them, are nice presents
to send to the Kant. If the venders
would state that they nre of base metals,
no one could find fault, but purchasers
nre led to believe that the material
is precious inctnl throughout. The
stamp is unlike any good coin, so there
is no violation of the law. Souio of the
quarter eagles coined are covered with
a fair quality of gold, hut contain only
about, twelve and a half cents worth of
the article.
