English Social Scandals.

LONDON Letter TO Boston Advertiser.
Now that Lady Aylesford is a widow there is
nothing to prevent the Duke from marrying her,
and her ladyship will then have advanced by
her misconduct two steps in the peerage to the
great scandal of English society, sufficiently
shocked only the other day by Lord Shrews-
burys marriage with Mrs. Mundav after her
husband divorced her. It is quite needless to
say that neither of these two divorced women
will be permitted to go to court be received in
the best society. The Queen is very strict on
such points, and will not allow even ladies who
divorce their husbands and are themselves spot
less to come to court.

And as fine home any in town,

And she listens aud waits, night after night.

And let the tormenting vagabond go,
And follow his ways and take the pain:
But turn him out and she calls him again.
This makes hardness between her and me,
And the worst of it is, the children agree
That I'm in the right. You'd pity her then;
Such times think I'm the meanest of me.

Her answer is always: My boy has one friend

OF all mothers to hold close to the one

But often wonder which one is right,
As hear her light step night after night,

BE came one clustering, snowy day
In February weather;
he carried on his dimpled arm
A portmanteau of leather.
He tapped againstmy window-pane;
He said: You sly old fellow.
Come, tell me of that little maid
With curly head and yellow;
"Tha music of whose broken speech
A happy home reioices;
Whose prattle has a sweeter sound
Than other peoples voices"
looked amazed, the saucy boy
Looked back at me with laughter.
He said: MY name is Cupid
And your Valentine I'm afterl"
