VAGRANT VERSE.
THE BUAVEB SEX. Tis tiime that mere man made the frank admission, That of the sexes he’s by far the less, And answer, when he hears the proposition, “Are Women Braver?”—Yes! She’ll ask a. booking clerk a thousand questions Whether next week’s excursion trains will go; Ami does she heed behind her the suggestions That she should hurry? No! She treads on tfcventy toes when lato she enters Hie nar row gangway leading to her stall: The wrathful gaze of scotres upon her centres— She doesn’t mind at all! Within the home your place not worth an oat is; No husband lias tho courage of his wife: Would you go in and give tjhe cook her notice ?' Not on your bonny life? Those who deny she’s pluckier are ninnies; From this conclusion there its no escape : Would you try on a hat that’s worth ten guineas, Then buy a yard of tape? —Hartley Carrick.
