MR. AND MRS. JOHN SPRATT.

She fancied him because she felt a very piquant charm
In the unexpected awful things he said—
On her remarks he could depend, they never caused alarm,
So as they both were pleased, they wed!

A PRETTY SMOOTH GENTLEMAN.

Mary thought her husband was the finest anywhere,
He was the satisfaction of her life.
He knew too much to ever say, “Why don’t you dye your hair?”
Or praise another woman to his wife!
