Show The Philosophy of After Marriage. Mar-riage. "You love me no longer" said a bride to her better-half in his gown and slippers. "Why do you aay that, puss?" he nsked quietly, removing re-moving a cigar from bis lips. "You do not caress me nor call mo pet names; you no longer seek so anxiously anxi-ously for my company," was the tearful tear-ful answer. "My dear," continued the aggravating wretch, "did you ever notice a man running after a car? How he does run! over stones, through mud, regardless of everything till he reaches the car and lie seizes hold and swings on. Then he quietly seats himself and reads his paper." "And what does all this mean?" "An illustration, my dear. The car is as important to the man after he gets in as when he is chasing it, but the manifestation is no longer called for. I would have shot any one who put himself in my way when in pur-1 suit of you, as I would now shoot any one who would come between us; but as a proof of my love you insist on my running alter the car." |
