Iwish had dozen par
OF hands this very minute;
III soon put all things to rights
The very deuce is in it!
Here's big washing to be done, :.
One pair OF hands to do it;
Sheets, shirts and stockings, coats and pants
How will eer get 'hroug it.
Dinner to get for six or more,
No loaf left DER from Sunday;
"A baby cross as he can live
Hes always so on Monday
And there's the cream, 'tis getting sour,
And must forthwith be churning,
And here's Bob wants a button on
Which way shall be turningf
IT'S time the meat was in the pot,
The bread was worked for baking,
Tho clothes were taken from the boil
Oh, dear the baby's waking.
Hush, baby dear there, hush-ah-ah!
wish he'd sleep little,
Till could run and get some wood
To hurry up the kttie.
Oh, dear! if P-con.es home,
And finds things in. this pother,
He'll just begin to tell me all
About his tidy motherl
How nice her kitchen used to be,
Her dinner always ready
Exactly when the town bell rung-
Hush, hush! dear little Freddy.
And then will come some hasty word,
Right out before Pm thinking
They say that hasty words from wives
Set sober men to drinking
Now isn't that great idea,
That men should take to shining,
Because weary, half wife
Can't always smile SO pinn'ng.
When was young used to earn
My living without trouble,
Had clothes and pocket money, too,
And hours of leisure double.
Inevcr dreamed Of such i fate,
When !, alas was courtcd--
Wife, mother, nurse, seantress, cook, mouse
,eper, chaimbermaid, laundress, dairy woman
I'd scrub senerally-doiug the work of six
For the sake Of being supported.

wonton and unprovoked cruelty; sheer
waste Of Heavens good gift-a miserable
frittering away of what was designed for
better purposes. 1t is absolutely wicked,
and ninety.uine cases in hundred, it is
done for no other purpose than to annoy

UOW TN GIT RID OF RATS.

There is public house on the st: John
called Rat Tavern. The name originated
thus. An American was travelling up tue
river during a thaw in winter, when snow
and water were nearly knee deep. Late
in the afternoon he came to this tavern:
cold, wet and hungry, and called for dinner
He was told rather roughly by the landlord
that the dinner honr had passed, and he
must wait till tea. He then asked for colo
lunch, as he was faint aud hungry. Alter
some grumbIng this was brought on. The
stranger ate and asked for his bill.
"Fifty cents" was the reply, in growl
ing tone" Dinner is quarter, but lunch
is out Of season, and you must pay nifty
eente."
The traveller paid the bill. aud sat down
to dry himself. Soon cheese was brought
in by the maid very much multiIated by the
rats. The whole race Of rats received :.
volley of abuse from the enraged landlord.
"Aud why do you keep rats" said the
Yankee, 81 can give you recipe that
