The Thrce holly Husbands.


Three jolly husbands, out in the country,
byi the nance Of Tim Watson, Joe
Brown, and Bill Walker late one evening
drnking at the village tavern, until, being
pretty well 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 pay the bill. They then seParat-
ed for the night, engaging to meet again the
next morning and give an honest account of
their proceedings at home, SO far as they re-
lated to the bill.
The next morning Walker and Brown
were early at their posts, but it was some
time before Watson made his appearance.
Walker began first: F.,
You see when entered my house, the
candle was out, and the fire giving glim-
mering oflight, came near walking into a
pot ofbatter that the pancakes were to be
made of in the morning. My wife, who was
dteadfully out of humor, said to me, sarcas.
tically--
Bill, do you put your foot in the bat
ter
Just as you say Maggy,' said /, and with
out the least hesitation put my foot in the
pot of batter and went to bed.
Next, Joe Brown told his story:
my wife had already retired ia our US
ual sleeping room, which adjoins the kitch-
en-, and the door of which was ajarj not be-
ing able to navigate perfectly, you know |
made dreadful Gathering among the house,
hold furniture, and my wife, in no very
pleasant tone, bawled out,--
do break the porridge pot.'
No sooner said than done. | seized hold
of the handle of the pot, and striking it a.
gainst the chimney jam, broke it in thous-
and pieces. After this exploit retired to
rest, and got curtain lecture till fell a.
sleep"
1t was now Tim Watson,s time to give
an account of himself which he did with
u very long face as follows:
my wife gave me the most unlucky COM
mand in the world; for was laundering up
stairs in the dark, when she cried out
snow, Tim, do break your neck
I'll be cussed if do, Kate, said I, gath
ering myself up the best way could--no,
I'd sooner foot the bill,
'And so, landlord continued Tim,
heres the cash for you. But, by jingo this
is the last time I'll ever risk five dollars on
