Evy- ery thing spoiled, dinner not fit to be eaten—all for want of a little punctuality. Mr. A. looks indignant. Mrs. A.

Mr. A.—Don't bother me, my dear. Women don't understand business. Don't worry me now Mrs. A (whining }—I'm sure I don’t mean to worry you; but you really might as well say what it is; or, at any rate. don't be so cross! Indignant Husband.—Cross! Well, that is good! Cross! Who's cross. I should like to know. just because the dinner was ready before the proper time’ And, if the dinner ras kept waiting, why the isn’tit taken up now, eh!

Mr. A —Hang the Joneses! Will you let us have dinner ? The meal is served Irritable husband devours it in grim silence, longing to speak. but too dignified to break his own orders Abashed wife sits down to it in silence Dinner over, the gentleman draws the easiest chair under the extension gas-pipe, and pre- pares to read Mrs A., (leaning over him timidly.)—But how about going tu the Joneses to-night, my dear’ Mr. A —The Joneses may go to blazes, my love' [Exit the lady in tears. } They do not go to the Joneses.

(Let me give you some lamb!) and Mrs. Jones called also, and gave me the queer- est account of Emma and young Snooks. She always laughed at him, you know ; and Charley Snooks would never believe she didn’t like him; and he came one morning resolved to propose to her, and in the midst of it who should call but his mother! and she wouldn't wait to hear that he wasn’t accepted, but made a perfeet scene; and Charley looked so sheepish, knowing the true state of the ease. and Emma was so dramatic, and Mrs. Snooks talked so loud, (you know her ways.) and it was altogether the richest scene.— (Won't you try the@ patties?) And tho Smiths were all there, on a visit from the country. In fact they are there now; and want to see you before they go back. (Do have have some of this pudding, cabinet pudding, I think you'll like it!) Mrs. Jones says Joe Smith is quite altered since he’s been to Eu- rope.
