A man once had a vicious wife : i A most uncouimmon tiling in life) His days and nights were spent in strife U licencing. Her tongue went glibly all day long, Sweet contradiction still her song, And all the poor mail did was wrong, And ill done. A truce without doors, or within, From speeches long as statesmen spin, Or rest from her eternal din, He found not. : He every soothing art display’d; J Tried of what stuff her skin was I made ; Failing in all,to heaven he pray’d To take her. i Once walking by a. river’s side. In mournful terms “ My dear,” j lie cried, “No more let feuds our peace ; divide, “ I’ll end them, i ,e Weary of life, & quite resign’d j “ To drown 1 have made up my mind, “ So tie my hands ay fast behind “ As can be. 41 Or nature mar assert her reign, f‘ My arms assist, my will re* j strain, “ And swimming, I once more ! regain c .’ My troubles.’ 5 With eager haste the dame com plies. While joy stands glis ’ning in her eves, • 7 # Already m her thoughts be dies 1 Before her. I Yet, when I view the rolling i tide, ‘1 Nature revolts,” he said, “ be- ‘ side, j *• I would not he a suicide. And die thus: j “It would be better far I j think, “ While close I stand upon the j brink “ You push me in—nay never j think,U vt'iii 44 But do it.” i To give the blow the more ef feet, Some twenty yards she ran di rect, And did what she could least ex pect She should do. ‘ He slips aside, himself to save, So souse she dashes in the wave, i And gave what ne’er before she ,;ave Much pleasure. <£ Dear husband help! I sink!” she cried; 44 Thou best of wives!” tile man replied, “ I would—but vow my hands have tied, “ God help ye.” THE STOLEN PIG. A per lon ol re fpefct ability, though of a narrow mind, liv ed in a village where the inhab itants vied with each other to contribute to his plcaiure ; e ven when any of them killed a fat pig, they never failed to lend fome choice part for his acceptance. At lad he thought proper to kill one too, and on this occasion gave a Unking proof of his parsimonious Ipi rir. On the ariival of the butcher he immediately open ed his mind to him, by obierv tng, “ My good neighbours have so frequently pteleritcd me with a (hare ol their fat pig', when they killed, that J comider myfetf bound as it were to return the favor; and I am at a loss how to avoid it.” After a panic of a lew moments, “ Oh,” laid he “now I have it; 111 (ay uiv pig is Itolen.” “ Aye, do f >,” replied (Tic butcher, £s it is an excellent notion.” This was agreed to. The pig was brought forth, killed, & hung up in the kitchen, there tore main til! the next morning, in order to he cut up. The hutchci having informed him - felf of the difpolition of his employer, ar.d thinking he might play his part in concert with his friends, repaired in the night to Gripeall’s kitchen, and bore off the prize. In (he morning, he repairs to the lioufe to (inifit his vvoik, and, as heexpedled, meets the own er of the pig in a moft violent rage at his loss.—” Heyday, what is the matter ?” feid the j butcher. “ I have loft my nig; j fome villain has Helen the fine | animal; what fitall I do?” ! “ ’1 hat’s right,” said the butch ; er, placing his finger to his ; nole, and ailuming an arch look “ That’s right, you’ll do ; I egad you do it well.” “ But it | is really Ifolen,” said the man. ! “ Stick to that,” said the butch | er, and you’ll do. I really | never saw a man all his part i so nicely as you ; I’ll be bound for it, there is not a per (on in ihe village who will not believe you to be in earned.” j C. 11.
