A WOMAN’S WEIGHS.

Remember, love, that sunn Tier tide When we went wandering through the heather: O’er lofty stiles and ditches wide I (lifted! you from side to side. For you weigh’d light as any feather.

Though later, -as my bride array’d, And beaming bright as stars in heaven, The marriage rites were all delay 1 d Because I wished to\ have yop weigh’d, And you just balanced eight stone seven.

In after years you had your way, I now recall your frills and! flounces, And how you laugh’d! that very day When yc»a discovered in dismay You scaled twelve st,one and thirteen ounces.

Buifc, ah! this mom, though I forbore From execrating yon and' Cupid, And cut strange antics on tbe floor, I vow you weigh’d -a ton or more, For you stood on my corns 1 , yop stupid.
