“[?]ome, Sweet Home.”

“There’s no place like home,” exclaimed a married man with a sigh of relief, as he threw down his hat, pulled off his coat and boots, slipped his feet in his slippers, and flung himself down on the sofa. As soon as he was comfortably settled, his loving wife ordered him to go out and get a pail of water, bring in a scuttle of coal, lock up the hen-house, feed the pigs, and split some wood for morning. Then he angrily gathered himself together, spitefully kicked off his slippers, savagely drew on his boots, hastily climbed into his ulster, jammed his hat over his eyes, and, as he went out of the back door, he muttered, “ There is no place like home.”— Hackensack Republican.
