AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM.

The reason this chap in the box here
Made his lady friend Mrs. Van Pelf,
He had a whole car-load of diamonds
And he couldn’t well wear them himself!

SO THOUGHTFUL OF FATHER.

Again to the altar went widower Brown,
When his grief he could decently smother,
He explained it to every acquaintance in town;
“My poor children needed a mother.”
