The ambitious warbler who is trying to climb to glory by flooding our waste basket with sonnets written in pale red ink will have to get there by some other route. Brick-colored manuscript has about the same effect on a near-sighted editor that a crimson shawl has on a male oow. “ Mamma,” said a little boy, who had been sent to dry a towel before the fire, “ is it done when it’s brown ?” The worst tyrant in the world is the woman who is superior to her husband, and lets everybody know it. The following words are deserving to be written in letters of gold, like those over the principal gate of Athens, in the days of her pride and glory : —“ Keep thy feet dry—thy skin clean —thy digestion regular—thy head cool—and a fig for the doctor,” “My dear,” said a husband to his Wife, on observing red-striped stockings on his heir, “ why have you made barber’s poles of our child’s legs?”—“Because he is a little shaver,” was the neat reply. Time is the bell-ringer of the universe. Ha strikes the hours even now ; presently he will peal the chimes.
