A Hindoo died; happy thing to do
When fifty years united to shrew.
Released, he hopefully for entrance cries
Before the gates OF Brahma's Paradise.

said.
II have been married !''-and he hung his
head.
Come 10, come in, and welcome, too, my son !;
!" Marriage and Purgatory are as one.
In bliss extreme be entered Heavens door,
And knew the peace he e'er bad known be-
fore.
He scarce had entered in the gardens fair,
Another Hindoo asked admission there.
The self same question Brahma asked again
"Hast been through Purgatory No.
what then p
Thou canst not enter!" did the god reply.
" He who went in was there 20 more than |. J"
"All that is true, but he has married been,
And so on earth has suffered for all sin.
Married? IT'S we'll, for I've been married
