For INSTANCE, when one OF the guests fell to
talking Of the serial. 6 Irene the Missionary
which is appearing in the 4a1ntic, and remarked,
"Of course it Is Mr.. Howels' work" with
which remark more than one agreed, Rhada-

"Ah, that is the secret"

- For this reason: the author IS q writer we'll

I've 20 much 10 tel yon, how shall begin it:
This lis world Is so wlcked-so vic through ani

Some namcsI could mention are not white rs chalk;
Should tell all I know-bnt never talk
The dear dead and gone used to say to me
'AJlne,
Bad tales are no better for telling again.
follow the dear mans advice, and you kuoY
never do taik--but then people act 40.

To think he deceive US BY looking SO meek!
Soastounded was I that scarce could speak,
Nell 6: tlas eloped, and you can't guess with
ua! hal IT'S too funny: With that toppish groom,
Her father just rayed. and OF course her ma cried;
Ihcy boast Of blue blood, ~ and often they sight
Their bctters; think that it serves 'e just right
Nuw let rs speak lower; I've something to say
Quite awful to hcar-but don't mention it, praY,
'tSuch wickcdncss ne'cr have heard of before"
So said Mrs. GREY, whom dropped in to see;
She'd not have believed 1t from any bnt me
Though she cannot say great deal as to that,
For she and her husband do constantly spat.
And said Airs. Smith, Wnona met on the street:
'sIndeed, it's quite dreadful! lou shock me COM
I'm certain that woman was never at school,
Such language she nses--an instpid fool!
