ONLY THE BEGINNING.
A young lady (matrimonially bent apparently) left her Prayer-book behind her one Sunday in church, instead of bringing it home with her as usual. Inside of it she had written the following effusion: — "A bunch of flow'rs, A look or two, A little billing, A little coo— A little coming And going, till They go to church And say, 'I will,' And that ends it." On looking at the book on the following Sunday she observed that someone had pencilled this effusion in:— "My lass, you're wrong— , You surely are; You worked that rhyme Just one too far, It ends right there— Oh, no, it don't! For coming home She says, 'I won't!' Anel that begins it."
