PUBLICITY.

(By Walt. .Mason.)

Please note this little fact, 1 beg; —lt is the hen that lays the egg; tre rooster does the yelling; lie flaps his silly wings and crows, and points with pride a. while, and throws sonic (its around your dwelling. And every time f hear him whoop and prance around the chicken-coop, ufeeling hunkydorky, I think of husbands J. have known, who think that they, and they alone, deserve the praise and glory. They would ignore the patient wives who organisred their niislit lives, when they were badly sagging, who bore the burden of the day and helped to cut the swaih. of hay of which the hubs are bragging. There’s many a fellow known to fame who would have failed Lo win the game but for some little womnan who, staying humbly in the dark, still made her old man toe the mark, with patience superhuman. And, having climbed from out the ruts, how haughtily that old man stmts, how proudly tells his story ! The wife beholds that crowing gent, and softly smiles, for she’s content with a reflected glory.
