A Difficult Question Ans,oered.--
''Can any one tell why, when Eve was
manufactured from ono of Adams ribs,
n hired girl wasn't made ut the same
time TO wait on herr"
We can; easy! Because Adam never
scame whining to Eve with ragged
stocking to be darned, II collar string to
be scwod on, or 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 stretching himself, yawned out,
"AInt supper most ready, my doar!"
Not he He made the fire, and hung
over the tea-kottlo himself, wen ven
turc, and pulled tho radishos, peeled tho
bananas, and did every thing else that
he'd ought TO. He MIXED the COWS,
fed the chickens, and looked after the
pigs himself. He never brought homo
half dozen friends to dinner, when Eve
hadn't any fresh promegranates, and
the manage season was over He never
stayed out until IL o'clock to "ward
mccting," hurrahing for an out-and-out
candidate, and then scolded because
poor dear Eve was sitting up and crying
inside the gates. He never played
Billiards, nor drove fast horses, nor
choked Eve with cigar smoke. Ho
never lonfed around corner groceries,
while solitary Evo was rocking littlo
Gains cradle at home. In short, he
didn't think she was specially created
for the purpose of waiting on him, and
wasn't under the impression that it dis
graccd II man to lighton his wife's cares
little.
That's the reason that Eve did not
need hired girl, and we wish it was
the reason that mono of her fair descen-
dants did.-Li(c Illustrated.

Naho"meaam .Sermo'ising - One
morning, Nasser-Eddyn-E -Efendi as
cended into his pulpit to preach, and ad-
dressing his hearers, said:
go believers! know ye what am 60
ing to talk to you about -
They replied they did not.
"Well them" rejoined he, "since you
do not know, do you suppose that am
going to tell you!"
Another morning he again appeared
in the pulpit, and said: q
80 believers know ye not what
am going to tell you 70
They replied that they did.
eff you know it them" said he, II
need not tell it to you;" ard he descen-
ded from the pulpit, and went his way.
His auditors, puzzled what to- do, at
length agreed that if he again made his
appearance some of them would say
that they knew, others that they did
not.
And again Nasser-Eddyn- Effendi
mounted into the pulpit, and said:
so Mussulmans know. ye what |
am going to say to you ~
To which some replied, eve know"
others ave know hot.''
Good !" returned he; "lat those who
know tell those who do not. ."--Nysteries

a Indy of ihc OIdcn Time.

Under this title, (says the n. O. Picayun,
Whittier, "the Quakorpoet," supplied the follow
ng clever copy of verses for an agrcultur,
association, at its annual fair, eomewhere in Ne,
England:
One morning of the first sad Fall,
Poor Adam and his bride
Sat III the shade of Edens wall
But on the outer side.
She blushng in her fgleaf suit
For the chaste garb of old;
He signing Der his bitter fruit
For Edens dupes of gold.
Behind them smiling in the morn,
Their forfeit garden lay;
Before them wild with rock and thorn,
The desert stretched away.
They heard the air above thcm famed,
light step on the sward
And 10 they saw before them stand,
The Angel of the Lordl
''Arisel" he said, ''why look behind
When hope is all before,
A paticnt mind and willing hand
Your loss may yet restoref
81 leave with you Il spell whose power
Can make the desert glad
And call around you fruit and flower
AS fair rs Eden had.
II clothe your hands with power to lift
The curse from off your soul;
Your very doom shall seem gift,
Your loss gain through toll.
"Go, cheerfully as yon humming bees,
To labor as to play"
While glimmerng over Edcn's trees,
The angel passed away.
The pilgrims of the world went forth,
Obcdicnt to the world,
And found, whereer they titled the earth
garden of the Lord
And thorn-trccs cast their evil fruit
And bushed with plum and pear;
And seeded grass and trodden root
Grew sweet beneath their care.
We share our primal parents fate,
And in our turn and day
Look back on Edens sworded gate,
AS sad and lost as they.
:" Isht still for us his native skies
. 2he pitying angel leaves.
And leads through Toll to- Paradise
