20 THE BLUE ANI) WHITE. Exchange. ’Tis wrong for any maid to be Abroad at night alone ; A chaperon she needs till she Can call her chap’er own.—Ex. When Daddy Was a Little Boy. When daddy was a little boy All the little boys were good, And did just what their nurses And their parents said they should; And sometimes, when I’m naughty, He takes me on his knee And tells, when he was little, How good he used to be. He never Stole a cherry tart, Or hid in passageway To “boo” at Jane as she came by With dishes on a tray ; He never once put currant jam Where grandma’d prob’ly sit, And when he fell and hurt himself He never cried a bit. He didn’t pinch Aunt Lucy’s legs When going up the stairs, He never told poor little Ted His bed was full of bears ; He never kicked good Mary Ann Or hit her with a spade; I guess perhaps my daddy was The best boy ever made. A small boy teased his father for a watch until he was forbidden to mention the matter again. At family prayer when asked for his scripture verse, the youngster repeated : “What I say unto you I say unto all—watch.” Ex. A tar bought two tarts from a Tartar. Said the tar to the Tartar: “Too tart are These tarts. Now, a tart Made out of cream o’ tart—” But “Ta-ta!” to the tar said the Tartar. “Henry,” said Mrs. Fussy as they went in to dinner, “I wish you would tell Willie in someway, so it will not offend him, that he takes too much sugar in his coffee. It isn’t good for him, and I know his mother wouldn’t allow it.” “Willie,” said Mr. Fussy a few minutes later, turning to the young nephew who was visiting him, “you don’t mix quite enough coffee with your sugar.” What is life? A dainty kiss, a little hug, To the parson then skedaddle, For food and raiment then a tug, Then o’er the Styx to paddle.—Ex. He asked a miss what was a kiss Gramatically defined ? “It’s a conjunction, sir,” she said. “And hence can’t be declined.”—Ex. Harry—I know a girl that got a pearl out of an oyster. Dolly—That’s nothing. My sister got a diamond ring from a lobster.—Ex. Stout Lady—“Little boy, can I go through this gate to the river?” Little Boy—“Well perhaps. A load of hay went through there this morning.”—Ex. Weather Forecast. “You may talk of the signs of the weather, Of coming days you may sing, But when small boys sit on little tacks, It’s a sign of an early spring.”—Ex. A gentleman, walking along a country road, was greatly surprised to see an Irishman perched on the top of a sign-post, bearing this inscription : “This will take you to Sunville.” “Why, what are you doing up there my man?” he asked. “Faith and Oi’ve been here two hours already waiting for the thing to start.”—Ex.
