ful of the time when she learned that "What's hers is his, and what's his isn't hers." _Fifth._ A convention of the Woman's Rights Association. The hall is crowded. Several determined looking women who have already addressed the meeting are on the platform. The audience is breathlessly awaiting the appearance of what Edward Everett Hale calls "A Hen's Right Hen."

And here is another for Nellie J. Bell, Whose sweet resonant tones you all know so well; Come hither, dear Nellie, a friend greets you now, Here, take this _small_ package and make a large bow, While I tell your dear classmates, with smiles all serene, That soon you will rival the renowned Lawyer Green. Ah! here is another, it seems to be round, I wonder for which of the class it is bound. It may be intended for some gentle "myth" But no, my dear friends, it is meant for Miss Smith, Who'll take the world easy wherever she is,-- Will she take it this evening and smile as she does?
