HUSBANDS AND WIVES.

_To the Editor of the Every-Day Book._

Sir,

It is not often that men, now-a-days, send copies of verses to their

wives, but I think the editor of the _Every-Day Book_ who is fond of the

times gone by, is still old fashioned enough not to condemn the

practice. The following lines, which have not appeared in print, are

much at your service. My best wishes attend the complete success of your

useful and instructive undertaking.
