after grand match had been played,
the secretary of the club received q
letter from lady ''of certain age"
proprietor Of one Of the adjacent
houses, declaring that her delicacy
had repeatedly bsen affrontsd by the
sight Of gentlemen ''in every stage

just before her windows. Would the
secretary, therefore, she entreated.
make arrangements for ridding her Of
this disgusting spectacle? The sec-

WHY BlDDY AND PAT MAR.
RIEE.

/
"Oh, why did you marry him Biddy
Why didy take Pat for your spous,
Sure he's neither purity or witty,
1 And his hair is as red as cows!
You might had your pick ifyou waited
| You done dale better with Tim:
And Phelim O'Toole was expectin'-
You couldn't do better nor him.
You talk of US young people courtin'-
Pray tell how your courtin' began,
When you were a WILDLY woman,
And he was a wildly man."
Tim and Pat, we see, was acquainted
Before they came over the sea,
When Pat was a-courtin' Nora,
And TIM was a-couftin' me.
She didn' t know much, the poor Norah
Nor, for that matter, neither did Pat,
He had not the instinct for some one,
But no one had then told him that;
But he soon found out for himself,
For life at best's but span
When | was WILDLY woman,
And he was WILDLY man.
Il helped him to take care of Norah,
And when he compared her with me,
He saw, as he whispered, one evening
Wnat a woman one woman could be.
She went out like a snutfof the candle;
Then the sickness seized upon Tim,
And we watched his bedside together,
Ii was such comfort to him.
| was not alone in my weeping,
Our tears in the same channel ran
For | was wildly woman,
And he was a WILDLY man.
We both had troubles, mayournecn,
Though neither of US was to blame;
And we knew by this what we wanted
And were willing to pay for the same.
We knew what it was to be married,
And before a twelvemonth had flown
We had made up oGrmindsi it was better
Not to live any longer alone:
We wasted no time shilly-shally.
Like you, miss, and Master Dan
For ! was a WILDLY woman,
And he was a wildly man.
