THE ORIGIN OF SCANDAL.

Said Mrs. A.
To Mrs. j.,
In quite confidential way,
at seems to me
That Mrs. b.

And Mrs. j.
To Mrs. X.
That night was overheard TO say,
She grievsd to touch
Upon 1t much,
But Mrs, d. to0k-such and such ~
Then Mrs. q.
Went straight away
And told friend, the sslf same day.,
"'rwas sad to think -
Here came q wink
u That Mrs. b. was fond Of drink"
The friends disgust
Was such she must
Inform lady (which she mussed."
"That Mrs. Il.
Athalf-past 3,
Was that far gone she couldn't see."
This lady We
Have mentioned, she
lfave needle-wOrk to Mrs u
And at such news
Gould scarcely choose
But further needle work refuse.
Thea Mrs. b.,
Asyou'll agree
Quite properly-she said, said she,
That she would track
The scandal back
10 those who made her look 80 black.
Through Mrs. K
And Mrs. j.,
She gOt:at last to Mrs. A.,
And asked her why,
With cruel lie,
She painted her 80 deep dye?
Said Mrs. A.,
In some dismay,
