WIR ?nd I. If all those bound together by matrimonial: ties would YJ*W the "passing clouds" which1 sometimos obdcuro tho sunlight of domestic lifo with as much philosophy aa cab bo aeon in the following beautiful and instructive linet, there would be more, much more, of gonuino happiness in married life than somo assort: We quarreled this morning, wife and I-?> > We were ont of tempor, and scarce know.why, . Though the cause .was trivial and common; But to look in our eyes you'd havo swpru that, we both Were a oouple of enemies, spiteful and wroth; Not a wedded man and woman. Wife, like a tragedy queen in a play, Tossed her sweet little bead In as lofty a way As so little a woman waa ablo;' She clenched her lips with a oncer and a frown, While I, boin" rougher,- stamped up and down, Like a careless groom in a nt aldo. You'd havo thought us tho bitterest (seeing us theu) A , Of little'Women and littlo men.. . You'd havo laughed at our spite and pas? sion And would never havo dreamed that a storm like this Wouhi bo rainbow'd to tears hy thad sunlight, a kiss, * ' - Till wo talked in tho old-fond fashion. Yet the etorm was over in loss than an hour,. And was followed soon by a sommer shower, And that again by embraces; Yet so little the moaning was understood, That we almost folt ashamed to be good, . j And woro a blush on our faces. Thon she. aa a woman, much bra vor bocamo, And tried to bear tho wholo weight of tho blame, - -. .... By.hor kindness, her self-reproving:-. ". ..? " When, seeing hor humble", and knowingt her -true, I, all at once, became humble, too, And very contrite and loving. But soeing I acted a humble part, She laughed outright vii th -ft frolic heart ' A'laugh as careless as Cupid; And the laughter wrangled along my brain, Till I almost felt in a passion again, And becamo quite stubborn and stupid. And this was tho time for her arms to t wino Around this stubborn nook of mino, Like tho arms of a maid round a lover; And feeling them there, with tho warmth, you know, I laughed quito a different laugh, and so . The storm (aa I called'?t) was o vor. So then wo could talk with tho power to 5lease; ough tho passing of storms Uko theso Leaves a certain felicity Of getting easily angry.again; Yet they free the heat and rob uko the brain, And teach us a rough humility. You seo that we love another so well, That we find more comfort than you can tell In jingling our bells and corals; In the fiercer fights of a.world so drear, Wo keep our spirits so close and clear, That wo need such trivial quarrels. In the great fierce fights of the world we try To shield one another, my wife and I, Like brave strong man and woman; But the trivial quarrels of days and night? Unshackle our souls from tho great floreo fights, . And keep us lowly and human. Clouds would grow in the quietest mind, And make it unmeet to mix with its kind, Were nature less wise as a mother; And with storms Uko ours thuro must flutter . out v . . . From thc bosom the hoarded-up darkness and doubt, The oxcees of our love for each othcrl ' Deceit or Song Writers. ,i BY THE "?AT CONTRIBUIOS.'' Tho man who* wrote "Home, Sweet Home," never had a home.-Exchange. No, of course not. All his folks at home say that he didn't. Nobody who writes about anything ever kaSjit. 's If a man is.oat of anything he immediately goes and writes about it. No one writes so many "headings" as tho man who is out of his head. Certainly he didn't ever havo any home. The mau who .wrote "Old Arm Chair," never had an arm chair in his life. The best he had was an old.split bottom chair without any back to it. - ? ? - .The. autfur . bf * Mo. Back to Switzerland never, .was,in Switzerland. The nearest ho ever came to it was sit? ting in the William Tell saloon eating Switzer kase-kaso why, that was' the best he could do. "Mo/her, I've Come''Homo to Die" hasn't spoken to tho , old woman for years,iand wouldn't go'oonr the house. .Besides he is one of that cjnss of spiritu? alists Un don't^believe they will die. His health was never better. His mo? ther is nothing but a mother-in-law, and she is dead Say how. ; " There is 'the author of "Old Oaken Hacket,".too; there, wasn't a bucket on the whole fnrin, water being dru wu with a tin pail a: la cistern pole. "If I Hau bull a Thousand a Year," stated privately , to hie friends that be was doing chorea tor his board nnd, threo months schooling in the winter. The author of "Champagne Charley" never drank anything but ten cent whis? key. The man who wrote "Mary Had a Lit? tle Lamb" knew very wejl that % was no? thing but a little lamb fry. "Shells of tho Ocean" is a humbug. The plaintive poet who represents him? self as wandering on Bummer's eve, with a seaoeat thought, on a pensivo shore, was raised in the interior of Pennsylva? nia, and never was ten miles away from home in all his life. "Gathered Shells" did he? AU the shells he ever gathered were some egg shells back of his mother's kitchen. "Hark! I Hear the Angels Singing" spent all his evenings in a concert beer saloon. Angels, indeed! Tho man who wrote the "Song of tho "Skirt" hadn't a shirt to his back, wear? ing a wamus for the most part. ?^Oft in tho Stilly Night" used to get on a spree and make tho stilly night howl till day-break. The author of "Wo Met by Chanco" knew very well it was arranged before hand. Ho had been weeks in contriving it, and she admired his contrivances. The author of "I Knew a Bank, Seo." didn't know ono whore he conld get his noto discounted. The only check he ever hold was a white "check" on a faro bank. He never had a red oheok in all his life. "What are the Wild Waves Saying?" knew very well they were reproaching bim (or running away from Long Branch, without pay ing his .hotel bill. ..Who Will dare for Mother Now?" Who indeed? '.Toa took the old woman to the poor houMrynst before writing this song,' and there1 ls nobody bat the poor master to caro for her now. . "H?ar ,Me, Norma" waa deaf and dumb. , He coald'nt mako his pa hear, nor i "My Mother pear" used to thrash the old woman within an inoh of her life, r The anthor of "Bain on the???!??' always .slept ' in the ' basement, except when he slept ont of doors. . ' "Let Me Kies Him for His Mo thor* got mad because his mother ?wouldn't hare him, *nd whipped her little boy within an inch of his life. ?T Dreamt I Dwelt in Marbi?-Halls" used to cheat at marbles when a boy, and hisdream was a'horrid nightmare, broughton by .remorse at the recollec? tions of fraudulent marblo hauls. "I'm Saddest - When, I Bing" was tickled almost to death if invited to. . "Happy he Thy Dren ms" sold bon?ind ! whiskey. You can fancy what kind of "dreams'' wero produced. "No Ono to Love" having just killed off his fifth wife, nut undi y felt like the devil about it. "That 0ongh Will Kill youl" Try ??COSTAR'S" Cough Remedy.
