4 MRS. SHOWS LITERARY HUSBAND.
/ Yes. I'm Mrs. Peter Snow, an editors
wife. well remember the day when Mr..
Snow asked me to become his. | confess
! like Mr. Snow, and thinking it would be a
very fine thing to be the wife of an editor,
| said yes" as pretty as knew how, and
/ ! became Mr.. Snow. | have seen ten wears
of married life, and find my husband 10 be
an amiable, good -natured man. He always
spends his evenings at home, and is in that
respect model man; but he always brings
a pie OF exchanges, which is limited only
by the length OF his arms, and reads, while
i patch the knees and elbows of our boys
pantaloons and coat. After we have had
Qnaker's meeting Of an hours length, j
break the silence by asking:
:" Mr.. Snow, did you order that coal
spoke to you about 7"
" What did you say, my dear 7" he asks,
after few minutes silence.
/" Did you order that coal | spoke to you
about Z.
'tlndeed, my dear, I'm sorry, but for
got all about it. 1t shall come to morrow"
4 Anotherhour's silence, which is relieved
i by the baby crying; and rather liking to
hear noise OF some sort, made no effort
to quiet him.
My DEAR" said Mr.. s., after he cried
minute or so, hadn't you better give the
BABY some catnip tea to quiet its He trou.
bles me-
The baby is still; another hour passes with
outa breath Of noise. Becoming tired Of ST..
lence, take lamp and retire for the night,
leaving Mr.. S. so engaged with his papers
/ that ne does not see me leave the room.
Towards midnight he comes to bed, and
just as he has fallen asleep. the baby takes
notlna to cry again. | rise as quickly as
possible. and try to still him. While am
walking the room with the small Snow in my
z arms, our ncxt--a boy of three years--be-
gins TO scream at the top Of his lungs. What
can dos There is no other course but to
!. call Mr.. s., 50 called out:
Z Mr. Snow! Mr., Snow
], The third time he starts up and replies:
What, Tim, more cOpy%
As though was Tim, that little imp run
ming about his Office. replied, rather
, tartly:
"No, don't want any more copy-Pye
saa sROeEha 5a q l. tea sat e ast y rs life t%s
! about"
/ Mr.. Snow makes desperate effort to rouse
himself as Tommy stops to take breath,
he falls again, leaving me pacing the room
: in as much yexation as can comfortably
contain.
The next morning at breakfast. when
gave Mr.. Snow an account Of last nights ad
venture, lie renlies:
" Indeed, my dear, ! am sorry the children
trouble YOU"
That i always the way. If | complain, it is
+ !" Indeed, my dear, am very sorry"
\ But should the very same thing occur, the
! subsequent night, directly before his eyes.
he is very likely not 10 see or know anything
Of il unless il happened to interrupt the train
r of his idea-. Then he would propose cat
nip tea but before | can get il into the in
j fant's stomach, he will be far away in the
|, realms Of thought, leaving me not little
yexed at his apparent stupidity.
Mr.. Snow knows the nature Of every paper
: published in England and the United States ;
j but ne cant for the life Of him tell the names
E of his children. lie knows exactly the age
: Of every American journal ; but he does not
know the age of his own baby. lie knows
how every contributor looks but don't be.
u Iieye lie can tell whether my eyes are black
J. or blue.
!. The world says Mr.. Snow is getting rich.
i All know il. he gives me money to feed
and clothe our boys, and hat, too, without
e a complaint uf poverty. hope the world is
right in its opinion, and when | am fully
i satisfied that il Is, shall advise him
: 10 resign his editorial honors, and spend a
!. few months in becoming acquainted with his
y wife and children. The little ones will feel
much battered 1t making the acquaintance
!, Of So literary i gentleman.
