A person named “ Beer,” has a “ poem ” in the Goulburn Herald on “ Christmas Morning.” Mr Beer, if not a good poet, has at least, a good cheerful name. If you want to see how beautiful your wife looks when she is angry, suggest that the young lady who lives across the street, and who always sits at the window with her forefinger pressed to her temple, and a pensive smile on her face, while you smoke an evening cigar, is the handsomest woman you ever saw. Take care that your head isn’t out of the window when you make the remark, as the hand of a loving but irritated wife is a good thing to drive away temptation, especially when there’s a window near.
