But she soon finds out that he s human, /

When this lesson is learned, though,
An angel no more, woman of tact /
she will be.
Then the honoree, Mrs. Haycraft, t
was called upon, and her toast was as +

As sure as the vine grows round tho /
stump,
And all that sort of rot.
You talk of when you are sweethearts-
That's before you tie the knot
But after it's tied up good ana tight,
And a thing or two goes wrong
You feel that you might use piece
Of the old stump four feet long.
But the making-up time commences,
And you don t know what to expecr.
He says he was wrongi Dear Us.
Twas Il
That Alphonse and CASTOR effect.
If Adam and Eve, in the first place.
Hadn' It begun to raise Cain so young,
1t wouldn't amount to a tinker s damn
Which way true love did run.
SO here's to the course of true love that
never runneth smooth;
And let's all get up and drain the cup
And drink to the happiest times of all:

The toast mistress then called upon
Mrs Greenley, who responded, her sub
