PUBLICITY.

(By WALT MASON.) Please note this little fact, I beg: It is the hen that lays the egg; the rooster does. tho yelling; he flaps his silly wings and crows, and points with pride a while, lind throws some fits around your dwelling. And every time I hear him whoop and pranco around the chicken coop, a-feeling hunkydory, I think of husbands I have known, who think that they, and they alone, deserve the prais6 and glory* They would ignore the patient wives who organised their misfit live&, when they were badly sagging, who bore the burden of the day, and helped to cut the fcwath of hay of which th 6 hubs ar4 bragging. There's many a fellow known to fame who would hare failed to win the game, but for some little woman, who, staying humbly in the dark, still made her old man too tho mark, Avith patience superhuman. And, having climbed from out the rut-3, how haughtily that old mail struts, how proudly tells his story I The wife beholds that crowing gent, and soi'tlv smiles, fur she's content with a relloctet! glory.
