MORAL.

Unnatural husbands, with minds to discern,

A momentous lesson from mice you may learn,

Which have only instinct their actions to guide;

Be kind to your wives–for your children provide.

FOOTNOTES:

[A] The readers of Chambers’s Journal are not without the means of knowing something of cipher-writing. Vol. XX. (1853), page 161, and Vol. IV. (1855), page 134, contain much curious information on the subject, applicable equally to the present time.
