FUNNIOSITIES.
The Crusty Bachelor on Woman.
She could sing like any eiren, and write
poetry like Byron, She oould tell you all the mysteries of astronomic lore, She had memorized Euripides, had been to the antipodes, And could talk so well about it that yoo'd ne'er think her a bore. She was young and she was pretty, ehe was stylish and quite witty And her family tree wbb planted when the Druids lived and fought ; She was rich— as rich as Croesus— bat not fickle or capricious, And in all her life Bhe never did a thing she hadn't ought. She did not, like other women, practice wilea men thought inhuman, And her oulinary powers were unlimited, 1 ween ; While I live I shan't forget her— no one could who e'er had met her, But, alas ! I only made her sweet ao> quaintance in a dream.
