THE SIBYL'S CURE.-^^^^'^^

For love—be you sure That makes the eye dim

There is but one cure. Or cripples a limb;

Yourself, then, resign

To marry, or pine !

That mars all your beauty,

And pleasure and duty.

This grave operation

Requires consultation.

Why this should be so

Is a puzzle to know.

The Sugar and Spice

. Will make the cure nice.

If you take my advice,

You'll be well in a thrice.

The pain in the heart

Will quickly depart.

Away with your lotions.

And villainous potions

—

I'd fain say the same And, if you have sense,

Of every pain Spend a very few pence

That ruffles the temper

Or maddens the brain

;

To make your ills fewer

With -Wells' Health Renewer."

The supper was laid on a table trimWhen out comes, roaring, my young son, Jim," Oh ! daddy, the rats ! A dozen or two,Are gobbling the supper, and baby too."My wife, with a scream, seized iron and broom,I clutched a bottle, and made for the room.Never was heard such a hullabaloo !

It woke up the cat, and terrier too.

The terrier thought we were hunting the cat.

Got a grip of her tail, as she went for the rat.

Jim, with his hatchet, tumbled over a pail.

And tried to hold terrier back by the tail.

I caught Jim by the wool, but rather too late

—

The table received such a bump from his pateThat teapot, plates, lamp, chairs, baby and all.

Were upset on the floor, mid *rash and squall.The people about shouted " Murder! Fire !"

And the Police rushed in the cause to inquire;They'd listen to nothing we wanted to state.But to the next station lugged me off straight.

Swore I was drunk—nearly murdered my wife.And of my poor infant endangered the life.

Broke tables, chairs, and the crockery ware;

When the Justice said, " What a savage oldbear"

Not heeding a word my poor wife did swear.Imprisoned and fined, I cursed my sad fate.When lateljr I learned, but rather too late,

Instead of depending on traps, dogs or cats.My only protection was "Rough on Rats."

To look jolly and pleased when you'd like

A sphere in life you will ensure,

Where men are true and women pure.

Unless you're a Mormon, or Turk,Contented you'll be with this year's work.

QQ Your seaside dreams of love and moneyWill end in country milk and honey.

How sweet to thee is love's young dreamWhen gliding down the placid stream.

Dear captive feet are now set free

To skip and dance right merrily,

As winter stealeth o'er the sea.
