THE COURIER HUSBANDS' TRIBUTE To tile ladles of F and (J street Kcnslug- ton (St. Paul's), who entertained their husbands at the Steckley residence Feb. If.. 19.12. In grandest tale and sweetest souk With love the blithesome strain. To single men and maids belong All Joys In love's domain: And 'though the theme, since time began. Has been of youthful bliss, Who would not be a married man On such a night as this? Our matchless Eves are beaming bright. Triumphant, by the wiles That brought their Adams out tonight Willi gladness in their smiles. The gallants gay in single life What keen delights they miss! Who would not have a smiling wife On such a night as this? Our lodges, grim and womanless, (hike drums without the band) Itreak out in nights of Joyousness When sisters lend a hand. And so this fair dove-circle ne'er Shall die in gloom's abyss, While husbands come with pride to share In such a night as this. May new Queen lturkett and her train Excel in worth, as seen From days of tMadame Sehwake's reign, Till tKobbins fair was queen: In heart, well join their every plan For mankind's happiness.
