THE MASTER OF THE HOUSE.
He's bald as any billiard ball. He's short and rather etoutj X do not like his looks at all; I'm prejudiced, no doubt. For all bis female slaves declare He’s handsome as can bo; Though why they do so is. I swear. A mystery to me. I think he’s ugly. I confess. I hate receding chins. Besides, it’s really hard to gnosa Quite where his nose begins. And then he's rude, and never speak* When he is spoken to; He's met me every day tor wetks Withont saying : "How d’ye do f" He never does a stroke of work. He will not walk a yard. He rules the house like any Turk, No Pashfs rule so hard. He stands no nonsense. If hia meals Aren't ready "on the tick/’ Ho always says just what he feels, And then they’re served up—quick! And vet he's worshipped like a king By all his womenkind. _ And though he "storms" like anything They do not seem to mind. He has one vice, for drink, alas! Has such a hold on him. He likes a bottle, not a glass— My baby brother. Jim ! —REGINALD RIGBY.
