The President’s Marriage.

One day A newspaper man was heard to say “There’s a Washington wedding not far away,” And then, When They figured down all the marrying men, ■Andsifted them over and tried again, 1 And could not find A bachelor man that way inclined, Suddenly each despondent Resident pfewspaper correspondent Snouted: “ The President!” Then the brood Of reporters Eagerly issued From their quarters And interviewed > courtiere. In twenty-four hours, by pome means or / other, / They published a column about the girl’s

mother, And two or three columns they got from

fS hoar brother ; Some pardonable vaunts Prom two of her aunts ; A chapter of rant From an old maiden aunt; And no end of buzzing From dozens Of cousins; Her teacher, Her preacher, Her sister at homo, Her schoolma f e, sweet creature, Her uncle in Rome ; Her cousin Leander, Her brother-in-law, Her uncle Lysander; Her great grandpapa, All manner of people she never thought well of, And hundreds of others she never heard tell of, Until all this great nation just knew all about it, Save her and the President—they seemed to doubt it. —“Brooklyn Eagle.”
