Now, william, why didn't you empty that stuff
told you TO do it last night, after tea;
But it's always the way, you get in a huff,
don't think you ever cared nnIch about me.
81 tsld Mrs. Poole how exceedingly mean
1t was for a man to be out halls the night -
You needn't get angry-Im not going to screen
Your hideous conduct from every ones sight.
"Idon't b1ieve you care if the baby is sick
You never will tend it-you want it to die;
But you're always at hand to give it g lick
II the poor little thing ever sets up a cry.
You leave your things round in every ones way,
For me TO pick mp. when I've all i can do;
but If anyone comes here to visit a day,
You expect the whole house to be tidy ss new.
~'Youre amazingly fond of Miss Sarah Duvail-
You needn't deny i'll know all the facts;
And if YOU don't stop / will raise such 4 gale
As vii make you reflect on your riRainous acts.
The d--eure take you, Mary! Why don't you
hush up,
Not always lie picking and jswiug at me
Eor trivial things which you choose to build up
Into monstrous oaenses which no one can see?
"Youre the bane of my life! I've endured you
thus long
in the hope you'd grow better, not always &c,
worse -
You needn't expect me-my purpose is strong
To go TO Chicago aud get a divorce
And poor William went to that loves paradise,
And east him about to accomplish his END;
But the faces he met were so scdden with vice
He was forced TO reflect, ''TO what good will it
tend ~
And he thought TO be reckonei among such a crew
As applied for divorces from fictitious wrong.
Was punishment worse than bed ever gone through
While living with Mary, whose tongue was so

there'd be a desperate talk So what

r. NJ FCOCE"S KEYS.

For some years l have been the owner
of a bunch of keys-a good big bunch,
of which, however, only two were prac-
ticable. For a long time / had resolved
to sort hat bunch of keys, most of
which were waits and strays. There
were two or three latch-keys, one, I
verify believe. of a house in London at
which l lived fifteen years ago one of
ahouse il Brighton long given up dis
ni0niJUs. Memory refuses to aaix
titles to the rest. At last, however, a
happy fate has relieved me of the in
cRbus of this useless bunch of metal.
A change of residence has deprived me
of the two last working keys, and left
me unencumbered. OF what use are
keys to me? / have never more money

they are at least clean and whitewashed.

BOTTLED SENTENCES.

Many ingenious methods are recon-
mended by the C0rnhW Magazine for
the writing of those delicate and loving
missives which youth in springtlme de-
! sire that no other eyes but theirs should
behold. Ovid advised young ladies to
deceive all prying eyes by a letter writ
ten with sour milk. An ink is also rec
commended to be used, with the ichor of
glow-worms. This sure recipe may be
read by the Vol stars, andis suitable
for young persons who intend to subsist
during the honeymoon on roasted but
t~ertiies. Billet doux may also be writ
ten on the inside of q scabbard, or an
armor, a bullet, an egg, OF rolled up in
n hollow stick. They may also be con
cealed in a lady's hair. Considering
the vastness of that subject nowadays,
there is some chance of the billet being
lost. A learned Dutchman recommends
a hazel nut. But the greatest plan of
all is the following, given with all
gravity by the learned pundit: Let a
man breathe forth the words, a love
you" in n hollow cane, Theoretically
sealed at the farthest end; her bottle
it up. When the young lady receives
the cane, removes the seal, and applies
the end thereof to her delicate ear, she
will hear the identical words as given
by her Lord Mortimer. She must not,
however, mistake her lover for a stick,
ms that might lead to a commencement
of hostilities. Among other relics in a
celebrated church at Madrid is pre-
servedi in crystals grunt given by Joseph,
in the execution of his trade. Bottled
sentences are, therefore, much older
than bottled stout, or even the demon
who is supposed to have his habitation
in the bottle.
