Will They Ever Do It. No. 1.



If some o’ these brutes who kill their wives,
Then bring an end to their own poor lives,
     Would stop and take a second thought,
And kill themselves first, as they cert’nly ought,
Would be a good deed, intensely human,
     And save the life of an innocent woman.



Aug. 10, 1890
