THREE JOLLY HUsBANps.--Three
Jolly husbands out in the country, by
the names of Tim Watson, Joe Brown,
and Bill Walker, sat late one evening
drinking, at the village tavern, until,
being pretty we'll corned, they agreed
that each one, on returning home, should
do the first thing that his wife told him,
in default of which he should the next
morning pay the bill. They separated
for the night, engaging to meet again
the next morning, snd give an honest
account of their proceedings at home,
so far as they related to the bill.
The next morning Walker and Brown
and Walker were early At their posts,
but it was some time before Watson
made his appearance. Walker began
first.
"You see, when I entered my house
the candle was out, and the fire gave but
q glimmer of light, l came near walking
into pot of batter that the pancakes
we're to be made of in the morning My
wife, who was dreadfully out of humor,
said to me, sarcastically:
Bill, do put your foot in the batter
"Just as you say, Maggy," said I
and without the least hesitation l pu
nv foot in the batter, and then went tc
bed"
Next, Joe Brown told his story:
"My wife had already retired in ou'
usual sleeping room, which adjoins th'
kitchen, and the door of which was ajar
not being able to navigate perfectly, yo'
know, | made a dreadful clatterin
among the household furniture, and m
wife, in no very pleasant tone, bawle
out:
"Do break the porridge pot ~
No sooner said than done. seize
hold of the bale of the pot, and strikin
it against the chimney jamb, broke
into hundred pieces. After this ex
plot retired to rest, and got curtai
lecture all night for my pains"
1t was now Tim Watson's turn t
give an account of himself, which he di
with very long face, as follows:
"My wife gave me the most unluck
command in the world !; for I was blur
dering up stairs in the dark, when sh
cries out:
Do break your neck-do Tim !"
"I'll be cursed if l do, Kate" sal
I, as gathered myself up, "I'll soone
pay the BILL"
"And SO, landlord, here's the cas-
for you, and this is the last time II
ever risk FIVE dollars on the command Q
my wife"

he Sure you Call.
ny CHARLES swAfs.

Il was a rustic cottsge-gate,
And over it a maiden leant,
Upon her face and youthful grace
A lovers earnest eyes we're bent:--
"Good night" she said, "once more, good
night,
The evening star is rising high;
But early in the morning light
Be sure you call as you pass by,
AS you pass by,
Be sure you call as you pass by"
The spring had into the summer leaped,
Brown Autumn's hand her treasures threw,
When forth a merry party swept
In bridal garments, two by two:-
] saw it was the maid that blessed
The evening star that so high
For he, as suppose you've guessed,
Had often calld as he passed by,
As he passed by,
Had often calld as he passed by.
Oh, blissful lot where all's forgot, =,
Save love, that wreaths the heart will
flowers,
Oh. what's throne to that dear cot
Whose only wealth is happy hours
know to leave their home they're leath,
Although the evening star be high
But if you wish to see them both,
Perchsnce they'll call as they pass by,
AS they pass by,
Perchance they'll call as they pass by.
