THEN AND NOW, 
WIFE. 
Now don’t you think it Is a shame, 
To let Maria stay 
So late with Charles upon the steps? 
What can they have to say? 
Such goings on, as t'in alive, 
Tis nearly midnight hour 
I wish, to drive her in the house, 
W ould come a heavy shower. 
HUSBAND. 
It is Indeed, a sad, sad thing, 
That she should he so late. 
But hold, It’s not so runny years, 
Since I leaned o'er the gate. 
And when I said, “Good night, good night, 
So many times in fun, 
You would not let me go, you know. 
Until the clock struck cm?.—Phalanx.

into a fresh fit of laughter, and cried, “Why, 
I’m the wrong man !”—New Age.
