SPOONLEIGH—"Does your sister always look under the bed?"

HER LITTLE BROTHER—"Yes, and when you come to see her she always looks under the sofa."—J.J. O'Connell.


There was a young man from the West,

Who loved a young lady with zest;

So hard did he press her

To make her say, "Yes, sir,"

That he broke three cigars in his vest.
