A PLEASANT DIVORCE.

“Which way?” said she,—“Follow your nose, silly woman!”
He answered with pointed and petulant scorn.

Kate laughed as she whispered,—“The taunt is forgiven,
It implies such a compliment, dearest, you know!
I'll follow my nose, sir, with pleasure—to Heaven,
If you'll follow yours—to the regions below!”
