that the sawdust which was laid down 10 dead
en- the noise blows IN their own and everybody

Golfers are not in condition to have this work
done at present, and, besides, there are other
streets that sadly need paving, and should re-

eternal Dish Washing"

We are not sure that the ladies
will thank US for reproducing the
following by Rev. T. X. Beecher,
as it may be simply repeating to
them. tiresome truth; but it will
show them that at leas: one man
appreciates their real condition in
life:
The quiet fidelity with which
"she" will dish.wash her life away
for shin" is q marvel of cndur.
ance and grace. Just here is the
servitude OF woman heaviest-no
sooner is her work done than it
requires to be done again. Man
works up jobs, ends them, and
takes his pay. This pay can be
translated INTO something else de.
sirable. A man works all day and
draws his pay fer his days work.
This pay aIlures him, as oats does
q horse, homeward bound. Thus
men work by turns and jobs, and
although work is endless as to
quantity, yet when cut up thus in.
to terms and jobs, we men go
heartily on our journey and count
our milestones,
Not SO with our mate. She
mends our socks and we put our
irrepressiblo toe upon the darned
spot, and she darns it again. "She'

"She" puts the room in order, and
wO get it ready to be "rid up

same socks, the same room every
time. She has no successive jobs
no terms, no pay day, no tally

Pay Your Way.

1t is the general prevalence of
the spirit Of ideness, this rampant
desire to shirk the duties appcr
tanning unto ones station OF life,
which makes bad servants and bad
employers, and plays the mischief
generally with our domestic com.
fort. And it all comes from the
same source. The servant who
sights her work in order that she
may get off to a party, or to a
street corner to chat with her beau,
or to stroll into the Bowery, is an
imated by precisely the same sci.
fish sentiments and tho same lack
of principles which lead her mis-
tress to shirk her duties--perhaps
TO leave her children to the care of
an incompetent hireliug in order
that she may go to party, or in
dulge in debasing gossip, or take q
stroll in Broadway.
This shirking of ones duties in
order TO tester in the delights of
idIeness, whether it be done by la.
dies or gentlemen, or by their SER
wants, has its origin in the same
common evil source, to.wit; the de-
sire to enjoy a privilege which has
no. been fairly earned. And this
leads us to the fundamental prop
osition that any person whether
rich or poor, whether employer or
employed, whether living in the
city or the country, that cherishes
desire to enjoy anything which
he or she has not fairly and square
ly earned the right to enjoy, is
doomed to unrest, inielicity, dis
comfort and unharpiness in this
world, and a sharp chance for q
residence in the torrid zone of the
future. There is no discount on
this--not a mill, not a moment
Let tho reader look honestly into
his or her own heart and life, and

lessly true this is.-Packard',

WHAT WILL You SAY THEM
While Hopu, u young Sand wich
Islander, was in America, he spent
an evening in a company where
an in6del lawyer tried TO puzzle
him with difficult questions. At
length the native said:
IL am q poor heathen boy. It
is not strange that my blunders in
English should amuse you. But
soon there will be larger meeting
than this. We shall oil be there.
They will ask us all one question,
namely: "Do you love the Lord
Jesus Christi" Now, Mr think l
can say yes. What will you say,
sirP"
When he had stopped, oil pre-
sent were silent. AT length the
lawyer said that, as the evening
was far gone, they bad better con-
clude it with prayer, and proposed
that the native should pray. He
did so; and as be poured out his
heart to God, the lawyer could not
conceal his feelings. TeaIs start
cd from his eyes, and he sobbed
aloud. All present wept, too; and
when they separated, the words,
"What will you say, sir9' followed
the lawyer home, and did not
leave him till it brought him to the
Savior.
