moons il makes me sick, it's perfeetl
antimonal. Love is farce-matrimo
ny is humbug husbands are domes

ing for other hearts to Conquer aite
they are sure Of yours. The honeymooI
is as short lived as lucifer match; a
ter that you may wear your wedding
dress at the wash tub, and your nigh
cap TO meeting, and your husband
wouldn't know il. You may pick uI
your own pocket handkerchief, help
yourself to chair. and split your gown
across the back reaching over the table
10 get piece ofbulter, while lie is lay
ing in his breakfast as iii was the last
meal he should eat in this world when
he gets through he will aid your digcs-
ton, (whilc you are slipping your first
cup Of cofiee), by inquiring what you'll
have Tor dinner, whether the cold lamb
all ate yesterday; if the charcoal
is all out, and what you gave for the
last green tea you. bought. Then he
gets up from the table, lights his cigar
with the last evenings paper that you
have not had chan:e to read gives
two or three whilis of smoke, sure TO
give you headache for the afternoon,
and just as his coat tail is vanishing
through the door apologises for not do
ing shat errand" for you yesterday
thinks It doubtful il he can to day-"so
pressed With business" Hear of him at
II o'clock, taking an ice cream with
some ladies at Vinton's while you arc
at home new lining his coat-sleeves.-
Children by the ears all day, can't get
out to take the air, feel as crazy as fly
in drum; husband comes home at
night, mods a show dye do, Fam" box
cs Chariey's ears, stands little Fanny
IN the corner, sits down in the easiest
ch .ir in tho warmest corner, puts his
feet up over the CRATE, shutting out all
the fire, w.,ile the baby's little pug-nose
grows blue with the cold reads the
newspaper all 20 himself, solaccs his liz
ner man with hot cup OF tea, and just
as you are aboring under the hallucna-
ton that he will ask you 10 take a mouth
fuI Of fresh air will, him, he puts on his
dress gown and slippers and begins to
reckon up the family expenses; after
which he lies down on the sofa, and YOU
keep time with your needle, willie he
snores I'LL 9 o'clock. Next morning ask
him to leave you "a little money" he
looks at you as if to be sure that you
are in your right mind, draws a sigh
log enough and strong enough TO M !
fate PAIR oi bellows, and askS you
what you want with it, and
il halt dollar won. do" Gracious
king as if those little shoes and stock
ings, and petlicoats could be had for
half dollar! Oh, girls set your ahcc-
tons on cats, poodles, parrots, or lap II
dogs-but let matrimony alone. It's
the hardest way on earth OF getting
l,ving-you never know when your work
is done up. Think OF carrying eight or
nine children through the measlcs,
chicken-pox, rash, mumps, and scarlet
fever, some of 'em twice over; it makes
my head ache TO think Of il. Oh, you
may scrimp and save and twist and turn
and dig and delye, and economise AND
DIE, and your husbands will marry
again, and take what you have saved TO
dress his secoud wife with, and she'll
take your portrait for a fre-board but
what's the use oI talklng2 Pll warrant
every one of you'll try it, the first chance
you get there's n sort of bewitchment
about il somehow. | wish one half Of
the world warn't FOOLS and t'other half
IDIOTS, do. Oh, dear -Ohre Branch.
