HOUSE CLEANING. " Just help me move this bureau here, And hang this picture, woa't you, dear And tack that carpet by the door, And stretch this one a little more, And drive this nail, and screw this scrow ; And here's a job I have for you — This closet door will never catch, I think you'll have to fix the_ latch ; And oh, while you're about it, John, I wish you'd put this corniuo on, And bang this curtain — when you've done I'll band you up the other ono ; This box has got to have a hingo Before I can pat on the fringe ; And won't you mend that broken chair ? I'd like a hook put up right there, The bureau drawer must have a knob ; And here's another little job — I really hate to nsk you, dear — But could you fix a bracket here ?" And on it goes, when these are through, With this aud that and thoao to do, Ad wfuutum, and more too, All in a merry jingle — And isn't it enough to make A man wish he was single ?
Proprietor of country hotel (toservnnt) : " A stranger has arrived. Make a fire in No. 14." "Servant : " Want abU tiro ?" Proprietor : " No, he is a little bit of a follow."
