Bitter-Sweet.

A couple once, that had lived in quiet, Quarreled and split about their diet He said: ••’Tislamb.” ”’Tis mutton I” she cried. •* And good mutton, too, and naught beside.” And finally, as things grew worse, They appealed to the law and got a divorce. When seven long years had passed away They chanced, in good humor, to meet one day. And then they agreed the hatchet to bury, Again to love and again to marry. Thev were married then that very night, With hopes of happiness full and bright But at breakfast she said with a sort of Jeer: “ That was mutton, you know, my dearest dear!" —Juliet-Romeo, in N. Y. Sun.
