A DIFFICULT QUERY ANSWERED

"Can any reader tell why, when Eve
was manufactured from one of Adams
ribs, hired girl wasn't made at the same
time to wait on herW
We can, easy. Because Adam never
came whining to Eve with ragged stock
ing to be darned, a collar-string to be sew
ed on, or a glove to be mended fright
away, quick now !" Because he never
read the newspaper until the sun got down
behind the palm-trees, and then stretched
himself, yawning out, Amt supper most
ready, my dearl" Not he. He made the
fire and hung over the tea-kettle himself,
we'll venture, and pulled the radishes, and
peeled the bananas, and did everything
else that he ought. He MIXED the COWS,
and fed the chickens, and looked after the
pigs himself. He never brought home
halfa-dozen friends to dinner when Eve
hadn't any fresh pomegranates, and the
mango season was over He never stayed
out until eleven o'clock to ward meet
ing" hurrahing for the out-and-out candi-
date, and then scolded because poor dear
Eve was sitting up and crying inside the
gates. To be sure he acted rather coward
ly about apple-gathering time, but then
that don't depreciate his general helpful
ness about the garden. He never played
billiards, nor drove fast horses, nor choked
Eve with cigar smoke. He never loafed
around corner groceries while solitary Eve
was rocking little Gains cradle at home. In
short, he didn't think she was specially
created for the pu pose of waiting on him,
and wasn't under the impression that it
disgraced man to tighten his wife's cares
little
That's the reason that Eve did not need
a hired girl, and we wish it was the reason
that none of her fairdescendants did.-Life

We have received a pamphlet copy of that re-
markable production of DR.. Cheevers-" The
True History of Deacon Giles's Distillery," which
is now being republished and illustrated by Thos.
Hamilton, at As Beekman st., New York. 1t is a
scathing article Astounding in the fire and hammer
of unfinching truth. 1t was written originally
for paper called the Salem Landmark" pub
hshed at Salem, Mass, where DIR. Cheever, then a
young man, was engaged in the ministry. 1t pro-
dueed great sensation at the time, and the whole
rum-fraternity were in arms about it. Cheever
was arraigned before court of justice. The re-
production of the article at this time is called for
and is eminently opportune, when, on either
hand, the hellish floods of Intemperance are surg
ing back upon communities once reclaimed from
their devastating fow.-Trae american Erie, Pa.)

an awful reality. Letter (Westfcfd Mass)

WELL PosrED.- Our readers all remem-
Der the story of the two Georgia judges
about the Lords Prayer. One of them bet
with the other that he could not repeat it.
His companion accepted, and Immediately
commenced:
"NOw lay me down to sleep,
Ipray the Lord my soul to keep DC.
Whereupon the former exclaimed, II give
it up; didn't think you knew it."
A few evenings since, at one of our prin-
cipal hotels, party of gentlemen were en-
gagged in relating stories, when oneof them
told the above. The company, of course,
all laughed, but one young man in partic-
ular, who prides himself on his correct un.
derstanding and great Biblical knowledge,
laughed the loudest and longest After
he got through, he exclaimed: "He conn.,
n'enced at the middle, didn't hef" The
company didn't laugh any more.

The MANIA FOR DARK RooMs--Ameri-
can women have strange mania for dark
rooms, but hear what Florence Nightingale
in her notes of nursing, says on the sub
iect GA dark house is almost always an
unhealthy house, always an ill-aired house.
Want of light stops growth and promotes
scrofula, ricketts,, etc, among the children.
People lose their health in a dark house,
and if they get i'll, they cannot get well
again in it. Three out of many negl-
gences and ignorances' in managing the
health of houses generally, / will here
mention as specimens. First, that the fe-
male head in charge of any building does
not think it necessary to visit every hole
and corner of it every day. How can she
expect those who are under her to be
more careful to maintain her house in a
healthy condition than she who is in
charge of it? Second, that it is not con-
sidered essential to air, to sun, and to
clean rooms which is simply igno ing the
first elementary notion of sanitary things,
and laying the ground ready for all kinds
of disease Third, that the window, and
one window, is considered enough to air a
room. Don't imagine that if you who are
in charge, don't look TO all those things
yourself, those under you will be more
careful than you are. 1t appears as if the
part of the mistress was to complain of
her servants, and to accept their excuse
not to show them how there need be
neither complaints made nor excuses"

BABIES AND WATER.

What pity that babies had not some
more intelligent mode of expressing their
desires, or that doctors, nurses, and moth
ers were not wiser. How often we hear
one of those sweet little darling babies
that always looks ".just precisely like the
doddy," crying at the tip-top of his voice
for water, simply because it is thirsty.
Many mothers never think of giving their
child drink of water, but to stop his cries,
force it to the breast, at which it eagerly
grasps, thinking to satiate its burning
thirst But alas how sad the disappoint-
ment, for after its little stomach has filled
to the very brim with its natural food, it
cries and cries on harder than ever. We
have more than once been sent for by the
parent, on the supposition that the child
was suffering for medical aid, when by CIV
ing it few teaSpoonful of good, pure,
sparkling cold water, it was relieved of all
its troubles. We often tell mothers and
nurses to give the child water.
But many think that will not do, and
instead of allowing the. child to allay its
thirst, attempt to arrest its cries by giving
it pap, catnip tea, Godfrey's Cordial, Bate
mems Drops, ETC., thus creating a morbid
appetite for ruin and other poisons, result
ing in deleterious effects on the health and
morals of the child. Mothers, will you
think of this, and remember that although
a child may drink milk, or nurse at the
breast, it may often suffer as much for the
want of water as adults who take more
solid food. Imagine how terrible situa-
ton, to be deprived of water these hot
days to allay our burning thirst. The
fluids, if not replenished by taking water
into the system, would soon be dried up,
and our bodies turned to dust.-Ed. Med.

LITTLE GRAvEs.-Sacred places for pure
thoughts and holy meditations are the lit
tie graves in in church-yard, says wri-
ter. They are the depository of the motht
els sweetest joy, half unfolded buds of in
nocence, humanity nipped by the first
frost of time, ere yet a canker-worm of cor
ruption has nestled among their embryo
petals Gallons indeed must be the heart
of him who can stand by little grave-side
and not have the hottest emotions of the
soul awakened to thoughts of purity and
Joy WEIGH belong alone to God and Heaven,
for the mute preacher at his feet tells Of
life begun and ended without stain; and
surely if this be vouchsafed to mortality,
how much purer and holier must be the
spiritual land, enlightened by the sun Of
infinite goodness, whence emanated the
soul of that brief sojourner among us.
How swells the heart of the parent with
mournful joy while standing by the earth
bed of lost little ones Mournful because
sweet treasure has been taken away, joy
full, because that precious jewel glitters in
the diadem of the Redeemer.
