HOUSE CLEANING.

4" The melancholy days have come, the sad
dest of the year."
Of cleaning paint and scrubbing floors, and
securing far and near
Heaped in the corners of the room, the au-
Gent dirt lay quiet,
And spiders woye their webs secure from
fear and din and riot;
But now the carpets all are up, and from the
staircase top
The mistress calls to man and maid to WELD
the broom and mop.
Where are those rooms, those quiet rooms,
the house but now presented,
Wherein we dwelt, nor dreamed of dirt so
cosy and contented?
Alas they're turned all upside down, that
quiet suite of rooms,
With slops, and suds. ana soap, and sand,
and tubs, and pals, and brooms
Chairs, tables, stands are standing round at
skies and at sevens
While wife and housemaids fly about like
meteors in the heavens.
The parlor and the chamber floor were cleaned
aweek ago,
The carpets shook and windows washed as
all the neighbors know,
But still the sanctum had escaped-the table
piled with books,
Pens, ink and paper all about-peace in its
very looks,
Till fell the women on them all, as falls the
plague on men,
And then they vanished all awRy-books,
papers, ink and pen.
And now, when comes the master home as
come ne must at nights,
To find all things are set to wrongs that
they have set to rightsr
When the sound of driving tax is heard, tho
the house is far from still,
And the carpet women are on the stairs, that
harbinger of ill
lie locks for papers, books or bills that all
were there before
And signs to find them on the desk or in the
drawer no more
And then he grimy thinks OF her who set
this fuss afoat,
And wishes she were out at sea in very
leaky boat
He meets her at the parlor door, with hair
and cap awry,
With sleeves tucked up aud broom in hand,
defiance in her eye;
lie feels quite small, and knows full well
there's nothing to be said
So holds his tongue and drinks his tea, and
quietly goes to bed.

Woman was sent into the world on a
mission of mercy-to help and to com
fort man and nobly and devotedly does
she perform her allotted task. Nay, she
does more for, by her association, her
example and her precepts, she gradually
mollifes his hard, harsh nature, and
makes him better being.

Coon PRECEPrs. Society may aid in
making the laborers virtuous and happy
by bringing children up to labor with
steadness, with care, and with skill to
show them bow to do as many useful
things as possible to do them all in the
best manner TO set them an example in
industry, sobriety, cleanliness, and neat
ness to make all these habitual to them.
SO that they shall never be liable to fall
into the contrary and to let them always
see a good living proceeding from labor.
