THE EDITOR'S WIFE.

You have heard OF the country editcr's lie,
With its care and worry and doubt,
Of the shabby genteel OF his seedy clothes.
Of his diamond pins, and his calm repose,
His happiness. money and gouf
But say, have you heard OF the editors wife?
OF that silent co-partner, who,
With blending of sentiment, beauty and skill
With temperate knowledge, with tact and will,
The whole of his labors can do?
1t is she who embrOiders the garments worn
By the editors hard old chair,
Now dressed with cushions, soft and neat,
And, trimmed up with tides and ribbons sweet
Which once was SO poor and so bare.
II the editors sick, or away, or behind,
In need Of more hands and haste
She directs his wrappers so they can be read,
And writes his leaders right out of her head,
And willingly makes his paste.
She reads the magazines, papers and books.
As the cradle she softly rocks;
While the editor sits in his easy chair,
With his fingers thrust in his tangled hair,
She quietly mends his socks.
Then she reads the ads, with the editor.
Just to find what each has paid;
But the column ad. OF the ieweler, there"
So he says, land the harness. and human hair,
Must be taken out in trade -
She wears the corsets he gets for ads,
And rattles his sewing machine;
She uses the butter, and eggs, and things
The country subscriber SO faithfully brings,
With a cheeriulness seldom seen.
But her lie so full of merry delight,
Has one dark cloud, alas,
Though she shares his ticket to circus and play
To lecture, and negro mInStrels gay,
She can't use his railroad pass,
When time hangs heavy on his hands,
She beguiles the hours away
With joke and laughter, music and song,
And pleasant talk, and thus ripples along
The whole OF each leisure day.
So, who would exchange this sweet content,
This simple and trusting life,
For that of a queen OF royal birth?
For the happiest woman on all this earth
Is the country editors wife.

A DAILY ANNIVERSARY.

The young wife of an attorney In

FUNNY INCIDENTS AT MARRIAG 6

Some funny stories are told about
the marriage service in the Isle of Man.
One of them relates how an old man,
brought rather unwillingly to the altar,
could not be induced to repeat the
responses. My good man, at length
exclaimed the clergyman, l really can
not marry you unless you do as you
