s- THE PEKINIAN Moving Time. The housewife’s tongue was working fast As through the kitchen swiftly passed Her husband, 'mid the noise and din; And he their household goods packed in Kxcelsior! His thumb he hit; his eye not meek Flashed out the words he dare not speak, And back his dainty foot he drew And let it quick assail the new Kxcelsior! In Jones’s home, he saw the light Of Jones’s pipe, and wished he might Indulge in such a peace unknown. Hut from his lips escaped a groan, Kxcelsior! Don’t pound so hard. the housewife said. You'll break a post in that new bed. Just two-eighty-nine for that bed I paid.” So carefully round the thing he laid Kxcelsior! O wife, may I lie down and rest? A rolling-pin met his request. He turned and with a tearful eye Beheld this hated object nigh— Kxcelsior! Beware of scratching that new chair! Put more excelsior ’round it there. This was the housewife's last good night. He prayed for courage to ignite Th’ Kxcelsior. At break of day as down the stairs The rested housewife now repairs. She does not hear the hammer fall. She thinks he must have used up all Th’ Excelsior. Her husband lying on the ground Half buried in the stuff was found. Packing and crating all night he did. This henpecked man had died amid Th' Kxcelsior. There in the graveyard that same day. They laid his lifeless form away, And on his stone, and on his bier. This word was seen from far and near-Kxcelsior! —F RANGES R U S 7, '1 3.
