THE THREE HOMES;
Or, The Magic of Neatness.
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.

1t had been an uncommonly warm and
sultry day, and as the cool air of the even
ing swept onward, and famed the brows of
the heated laborers, they, one and all,
thanked heaven that the toll of the day was
over. Bnt to none among the homeward
bound did the evening breeze seem more
refreshing than to three, whose baskets of
tools denoted them carpenters At the en-
trance Of the village where they lived,
Jones, Yates, and Fields separated, each to
seek his own dwelling.
There was not cleaner or neater abode
IN Bell Air, than that awaiting the recep-
ton Of Jones. Not speck of dust dimmed
the brilliancy of the windows; every article
Of furniture was polished till it shone like a
mirror; fresh flowers breathed forth their
fragrance from the chimney piece spot
less cloth covered the little supper table,
aud Mrs. Jones and the children were as
neat as it was possible to be.
Far different the scene with Yates-his
house was in disorder, his children untidy,
his wife absent The last named evil was,
however, soon remedied, for one of the chill

self upon seat.
''Are you? Well, then, I'll make it,
and as she hurried to light the fire, more
than one piece of crockery was broken,

proper place.

The clock is on the stroke of six,
The fathers work is done:
Sweep up the hearth and mend the fire,
And put the kettle on!
The wild night-wind is blowing cold,

He's crossing DER the wold apace,
He's stronger than the storm;
He does not feel the cold, not he,
His heart it is so warm,
For fathers heart is stout and true
AS ever human bosom knew!

So ready to be pleased, so kind,
So very slow to blame!

Stay, do not close the shutters, child,
For far along the lane
The little window looks. and he
Can see it shining plain;
I've heard him say he loves to mark
The cheerful freight through the dark.
And we'll do all that father likes,
His wishes are so few
Would they were more, that every hour
Some wish of his | knew!
I'm sure it makes happy day
When l can please him any way!

That baby's almost wild,
See how he laughs, and crows, and stares,
Heaven bless the merry child!
His fathers self in face and limb,
And fathers heart is strong in him.
Eark. hark! hear his footsteps now
He's through the garden gate;
Run, little Bess, and ope the door,
And do not let him wait,
Shout, baby, shout! and clasp thy hands,
For father on the threshold stands.

putting aside the dirty plates declared that
now she must 60 and wash.
"Wash." exclaimed her husband, in as
tonlShment, Il thought you were to do that
yesterday
"Nell, so meant, but Mrs. Brown came
IN and prevented me. And now must
wash, for neither l nor the children have a
clean thing to put on
$50 it seems" said Yates sarcastically.
$50 it seems,-indeed,' she cried auerily
-"l suppose you expect me to be as clean
and neat as if kept twenty servants"
''No, Mary" said her husband gravely.
81 form no such extravagant notions-all T
ask is, that the hours l am working to earn
our bread, may be spent by you in a man
ner more profitable than gossipping; and so
let me find quiet and orderly house on my
return, and a companion such as you used
to be in the earlier days of our welded
life"
But the affectionate tone of the last words
exercised no softening influence on the rou-
sed spirit of the indignant wife, and quar-
rel ensued, which ended in Yates taking his
hat, and finding at the public house tie
comfort he could not find in his own.
Meanwhile Jones passed through his trim
little garden, entered his pretty cottage
home, and sitting down his basket seated
himself by the window.
ooh, Jones, you never wiped your shoes
when you came in," was his wife's saluta-
ton, as he entered the room.
"Well, my dear, if l did not, there could
be no mud On them," said he.
"No-but I'll be bound theirs plenty of
dnst on them :" she retorted GROSSLY. "and
you know how I hate dust. And here

you act?"

wife, Nell, yet even as he spoke, he sighed,
for mis- home, though it was pleasant to looI
at, was very uncomfortable.
Mrs. Jones was conscientious and an
industrious woman, and she esteemed it her
duty to work hard for her husband and
| children. But she perceived not how her
| spirit of house worship interferred with her
duties as wife and mother. The latter
demanded her house should be home. the
former that it should be an idol, and she
| bowed unresistingly down to the image she
had herself set up, without once suspecting
| tHdt tue magic WOru nome, was In her
keeping but an empty sound. Her hus-
band, when his hours of labor were over,
felt as if he had earned happy evening,
but he was ever offending against her rules
Of propriety, and therefore betook himself
| to the public house, where he was never at
home. And thus, though Mrs. Jones was
considered a better wife than Mrs Yates,
they both, by different means, accomplished
one end-of driving from their homes do
mesticated husbands.
Fields, too, had gained his home-a neat
little cottage, like these Of his fellow work
men. Within, ali was clean and neat, and
as orderly as the gambol of the children
would permit, and the wife who advanced
/ to meet him, was as neat a person as the
eye wished to rest upon.
