A NUMEROUS FAMILY.

The Flutter Budgets are numerous family
in America They are not all as restless as
Madame, but the characteristics of the blood
are manifested among them all. They never
know repose; and what 10 Woree than this, they
dread, If not deSpise It. They are immense
workers-not that they do more work and hard
er than their neighbors, but they make great
fuss about it, and are always at it. They rise
early 10 the morning, and they sit up late at
night; and they do this from years end to
years end, whether they have anything to do
or not. They cannot sit still. They have an
unhealthy impression that 1t is wrong for them
not to be "doing something" all the time -
Nothing in the world makes them 30 uncom-
Portable and so restless as leisure. Mrs. Flut-
ter Budget could no more sit down without knit
ting. work, or q sock to darn, in her hand. than
she could fly. As she has many times remarked,
che would die If she could not work. To her,
and to all her name and character, constant ac-
tion seems to be necessity. The craving Of
the smoker for his pipe or cigar, the incessapt
haDkering of the opium eater for his drug, the
terrible thirst Of the drunkard for his cups--all
these are legitimate illustrations of the morbid
desires of the Budgets for action and motion
The man who has the habit of using narcotics
is not more restless and unhappy without bis
accustomed stimulus than they are without
anything to do. In truth. believe the desire
for action may become Just as morbid passion
of the soul as that which most degrades and de-
moralizes mankind.

NOT A HARPY WOMAN.

Mrs. Elutter Budget is not q happy woman; !;
and, as have intimated before, she seriously
interferes with the happiness and the spiritual
prosperity Of those about her, When she can
find nothing,to do then she worries. Those
children of hers are worried near to death. If,
in their play, they get any dirt on their faces,
they are Immediately sent TO make themselves
clean. If they soil their clothes, they are shut
up until reduced to proper state Of penitence.
They are kept out Of all draughts of air, tor fear
of cold; and If they should take cold, why, they
must take medicine Of the most repulsive char.
acter as penalty, II they cough out of the
wrong corner Of their mouths, she suspects
them of croupy intentions; and If they venture,
at some unguarded moment on a cutaneous
eruption, they are immediately charged with
measles, or accused with the smsll-pox. If they
quietly cit down for the moment Of repose, she
apprehends sickness, and stirs them about 10 or
der to shake 1t of. Even sleep is not sacred to
her, for, il she finds flushed face among the
harassed little slumbefers, she awakens it on
ly to make affectionate inquiries. Her husband,
as have already stated, died two years ago.
She worked,up his nervous system to such an
extent that he Was glad to be rij of the world,
and of her. ] think man would die, after a
