.» A little nonßOnte bow and then. la eUihed by tbt wieert tden. THE STAMMERING IWIFE. Whondeeplyinlove with Miss Emily Pyne, ' I vowed, if the lady would only be mine, I would always endeavor to please her. She blußhed her oonsen^ though the stuttering lass Said never a word except, "You're an aps— A, n oßß— an ass— iduous teaser." But when we were married I found that my Rntb, The stammering lady, had told the truth ; . For of ten, in oblivious dudgeon, Bhe'd say, if I ventured to give her a jog, In the way o£ reproof, "You're a dog—dog —dog — A dog~a dog— Hmatio curmudgeon." And once, when 1 said, "We can't afford Thiß extravagant style with our moderate board, 1 ' And hinted we ought to be visor, She looked,l assure you, exceedingly blue, And fretfully cried, "You're a Jew— a Jew— ' A very judioiouß advisor." , Out of tempet, at last, with the insolent dame. And feeling the woman was greatly to blame, To scold me instead of oaressing, X mimicked her speech, like a cur that I am, * Arid angrily Baid, "You're a dam — a dam •<fZ3\ -*•■. ; i — dam— .■•■f <vA dam — age instead of a blessing."
