the fact, but plead in extenuation, that the
Squire who married him to his first wife,
authorized him to take sixteen wives.

Lore o. Married Litt.-The affection
that links together man and wife, is far
holier and more enduring passion than the
enthusiasm Of young love. Itmay want its
gorgeousness-it may want its imaginative
character, but it is far richer in holy and
trusting attributes. Talk not to us of the
absence of love in wedlock. What because

The world is not perfect one.
All women are not wise or pretty,
Al llthat are willing are not won-
More's the pity-mores the pity.
Playing wall-fower's rather fiat,
L.Allegro of Ponseroso-
Not that women care for that
Cut oh j. they hate the sighting beau so
Della says my dancing's bad
She's found il out since have cut her;
She says wit never had

Mrs Milton coldly bows

Gertrude says I've little nous
I'm tired Of her atrocious punning.
Toms wife says my taste is vile
condemned her macarony;

Isabella. Sarah Anne,

Thus it is-be only civil

Know no line 'twixt saint and devil
Spend your wit on fools and all
Smper with the milk and water
Suffer bores and talk Of caps
Trot our people, awkward daughters
You may scandal 'scape-perhaps!
But prefer the wise and pretty
Pass Reserve TO dance with Wit,
Let the slight be e'er so petty,
Pride will never pardon it.

Woman never yet abused
