WHISPERS AT A WEDDING.
Here she comes—the organ's playing,
Johnny, dear, don't crowd me so;
See, mamma is looking at you,
You're the rudest boy I know.

Yes, it's she! they all are coming,
I can see way down the aisle,
And the bride looks awfully solemn;
I should think she'd want to smile.

Wonder if she thinks it's proper
For a bride to look that way?
Oughtn't people to look happy
When it is their wedding day?

Uncle Willie says that marriage
Is a very serious thing;
That you take a lot of trouble
With the giving of the ring.

Did you hear him say to father
That unless he lost his head,
He would always stay a bachelor,
That he never meant to wed?
