SHARP HoUsEKEEPER.-In never see the
reason why your smart housekeepers must OF
necessity be Xantippes. / once had the mis-.
fortune to be domesticated during the summer
months with one of this genus
l should like to have seen the adventurous
spider that would have dared to ply his cunning
trade in Mrs. Parriott's premises. Nobody was
allowed to sleep wink beneath the roof. Even
the old rooster crowed an hour earlier than
any OF his neighbors. "Go aheadn was writ
ten on every broomstick in the establishment
She gave her husband his breakfast, button
ed him up In his overcoat, and put him out Of
the door, with his face in the direction of the
store, in less time than have taken to tell IL.
Then she snatched up six little Parrots, scrub
bed their faces up and down without regard to
feelings or pug noses, till they shone like row
of milk cans
CLEAR the track" was her motto washing
days She never drew a long breath till the
wash tubs were turned bottom upward again,
and every article of wearing apparel sprinklsd,
folded, ironed, and placed on the backs of their
respective owners. 1t always gave me a stitch
In the side to look at her
AS 10 her cleaning days" I never had cour-
age to witness one. I had to lay under an ap-
pie tree in the orchard till she was through. A
whole platoon OF soldiers wouldn't have fright
ened me go much as that virago and her mop.
You should bave seen her in her glory on
baking days, her sleeves rolled up to her
arm-pits and long check apron swathed
round her bolster-like figure; the great oven
blazing, glowing and sparkling in manner
very suggestive to a lazy sinner like myself.
The interminable row of creased pie plates,
and pans Of rough and ready gingerbread, and
pots Of pork and beans, in an edifying state of
progression; and the immense embryo loayes
of brown and wheaton bread. To my innocent
inquiry whether she thought the latter would
rise, she set her skinny arms akimbo, march ed
up within kissing distance of my face, cooked
her head on one side, and asked if thought
she looked like a woman to be trifled with by
loaf of bread" The way I settled down
into my slippers without a reply, probably
convinced her that l was no longer skcptical
on that point.
Saturday evening she employed in winding
up everything that was unwound in the house
the entry clock included. From that time
till Monday morning she devoted herself to her
husband and Sabbatical exercise. All have
to say is that it is to be hoped she carried some
OF the fervor of her secular employment into
those halcyon hours.

GA DEAD SELL. in one of our exchange.
We ind the following mournfu account of the
difficulties experienced by an indefatigable
salesman in his endeavors to advance the inter

An enterprising travelling agent from a well
known Cleveland Tomb Stone Mandatory

an adjoining county. Hearing in the village

The road was horribly frightful one, but the
agent persevered, and finally arrived at the
bereaVed mans house. Bereayed mans hired
girl told the agent that the bereaved man was
spl tting fence rails lover in the pastur, abou,
two miles" The indetatigable agent hitched
his horse and started for the " pastur," and
falling into all manner OF mud-holes, scratching
himself with briars and tumbling over decayed
logs, the agent at length found the bereav ed
man.
In a subdued voice be asked the man if be
had lost his wife. The man said he had The
agent was very sorry of il, and sympathized
with the man very deeply in his great affictisn;
but death, ne said, was an insatiate archer, and
shot down all of both high and low degree In.
formed the man that "what was his loss was her
gain, and would be glad TO sell him grave
stone to mark the spot where the beloved one
slept-marble or common stone, as he chose at
prices defying competition. The bereaved man
said there was "a little difficulty in the way -

another man. The agent retired.
