A Woman,s WAN.

Her husband VIII get loaded
He'll go the primrose way
He'll squander all HIS earnings
And leave her to work by day;
Yet when he Is arrested
Fol this, without q doubt.
She'll promptly leave her washing
And so and bail him out.
Her husband will deprive her
OF comforts In the home,
He'll club her n he'll snub her
And he'll go away to roam;
But does she say, you scoundrel.
I'll have you up for thisf"
All, no, she tells her neighbors
That her life Is perfect bliss.
And thus II Is she Iabors

To minimize his errors
Which leaves the sorest smart;

In that she thwarts the laws,
Should you ask hex why h does It

Why II Ahsetsd Aim.

The chaplain OF a large private asy-
ium in Yorkshire, England, recently
asked a brother clergyman. to preach to
the inmates Of a Sunday morning dur
ing his absence. He said &c him
Preach them a good sermon, for
though insane on some points they are
very intelligent" The preacher talked
to them of Africa and India and OF
heather mothers who threw their
babies into the sacred river Ganges as
offerings to the gods. Tears streamed
down the face Of one listener. When
asked by the clergyman afterward what
part of the sermon had affected him the
lunatic replied: "Sir, / was thinking
It was a pity your mother didn't throw
you Into the Ganges."
