LIFE IS BUT A SPAN.
Life is but a span—of horses ;
One is " Age," the other " Prime,"
Up and down the hill our course is ;
" Go in," ponies—" make your time."
Boyhood plies the whip of pleasure :
Youthful folly gives a stroke ;
Manhood goads them at his leisure,
" Let 'em rip, they're teugh as oak."
It Ili yet there;' the Oakes we'll pocket
To the winds let care be sent ;
Time, 2.40—" whip in socket ;"
" Give 'em string and let 'em went."
On the =tiny road to fifty,
" Prime " is drowned in Loam's stream ;
" Age" is left, old, unthrifty ;
Life then proves "a one-horse team."
" Age" jogs on, grows quite unsteady,
Reels and slackens in hie pace
" Kicks the bucket," always ready ,.
" Gives it up "—Death wine the race
Tua BREAKING OF AN Bac —A young couple
had passed the firat few weeks of their marriage
at the house of a friend. Having at length oc
copied their new home, they were taking their
first breakfast, when the following scene took
place:—
The young husband was innocently opening
a boiled egg in an egg cup. The bride observed
that he was breaking the shell at what she
thought the wrong end. " flow strange it looks"
eadd she, "to see you break your egg at the
mill end, my dear! 1 4 ,4 ono the doss so; it
looks so odd."
"Oh, I think it is quite as good, in fact, bet
ter than breaking it at the large end, my love;
for when you break the large end the egg runs
over the top," replied the husband.
"Bat it looks very odd when no one else does
so," rejoined the wife.
"Well, now, I really do think it is not a nice
way yon have got of eating an egg. That. dip
ping strips of bread and butter into an egg
certainly is not tidy. But I do not object to
your doing so you please, if you will let me
break my egg at the small end," retorted the
husband.
"I am sure my way is not so bad as eating
fruit-pie with a knife, as you do, instead of using
a fork ; and you always eat the syrup as if you
were not accustomed to have such things. You
really do not see how very bad it looks, or I am
sure you would not 4o so," added the wife.
" The syrup is made to be eaten with the pie ;
and why should I send it away on the plate ?"
asked the husband.
"No well bred persons ever clear their plates
as if they were starved," said the bride, with a
contemptuous east of her head..
6• Well, then, lam not a well-bred person,"
replied the husband, angrily.
4 . But you must be, if we are to live comforta
bly together," wag the sharp answer of the fas
tidious lady.
" Well, I must break my egg at the small end,
so it does not signify ; and I must also eat the
eyrup."
.. Then I will not have either fruit-pie or eggs
at eke table."
"But I will have them," petulantly exclaimed
the husband.
" Then I wish I had not married you," cried
the young wife, bursting into tears.
"And so do I," aided the now incensed hus
band, as he rose and walked out of the room.
This domestic quarrel was followed by others
equally trifling in their origin, and disgraceful
in their character, until the silly couple made
themselves so disagreeable to each other that
their home became unendurable, and they sep
arated.
