IS past all bearing, when a husband slights his bride,
Who last Christmas still was blushing at her elder sister's side;
Still on some minute allowance finding collars, boots, and gloves,
Still to cousinly flirtations limiting her list of loves,
Still by stern domestic edict charged on no account to read
Any of Miss Brontë's novels, or to finish Adam Bede.
First Lady, in Trevelyan's Ladies in Parliament.
DIFFER from all the ordinary biographers of that independent gentleman Don't Care. I believe Don't Care came to a good end. At any rate he came to some end. Whereas numbers of people never have beginning, or ending, of their own.
Ellesmere, in Helps's Friends in Council.
DISTICH.
ISELY a woman prefers to a lover a man who neglects her.
This one may love her some day; some day the lover will not.
John Hay, Poems.
