This is the Perfect Man.
The right kind of man from Beersheba to Dan I sought with an infinite zest, from the end of the east my search never ceased till I came to the end of the west.
He's gentle and quiet, and plain in his diet, and never gets mad in a crowd ; he's a tirelesssearcher for all kinds of " vircher," and never ia boastful and loud.
He's modest and sweet, and gives up his seal? if a washerwoman enters tho car. If he smokes out of doors, then the smoke he outpours always comes from a twopenny cigar. On the great Home Rule Bill he will never talk till you wish he will languish and die. He's in love with his wife, and stays so all hi» life, and praises her pudding and pie. And 1 sought for this man from Beersheba toDan, I sought from the west to the east ; but I'm sorry to say that he didn't come to stay, and he's long since defunct and deceased.— Sunday World.
