Ruby's Lecture about Pins and CrOckery.

"There's another pin ON the carpet. 1
ing" growled Mr.. Mann.
"You know the dressmaker was here all
day yesterday" apologized Mrs. Mann.
but it is alacays just about as bad.
There are pins enough scattered and lost
by this family to supply the actual needs
of three families. You have pin cushions
in every room. Why don't you stick the
pins there that you don't use ?'
81 do try not to waste them," sighed
Mrs. Mann.
'Pins cost money!" said Mr.. Mann,
solemnly, land these little leaks sink many
a ship"
"And so do nails cost money!" said his
sister Ruby, who was visiting the family.
"Nails cost more than pins, and they are
larger, too, so that you might suppose
man would pick up all that he drops. But
l always see good many lying among the
rubbish where building is going on. I am
often aStonished at the number of nails and
screws scattered about where men use
them. Judging by the number l have
myself picked up after my father and this
brother here, | think they would lose more
pins than we do if their work called them
to use pins and needles as freely as we are
obliged to. have no disposition to excuse
wastefulnesS, but | am tired of hearing
men make remarks about the loss of pins
and the breaking of crockery that is all the
time going on in their families
90 | never saw such folks as ours are for
breaking Dishes" remarked Mr.. Mann.
"Simply because you are not a member
of any other family" said sister Ruby.
&C suppose at least half the married men
of our acquaintance think the same of their
families. l have heard considerable talk
about it in different places; and, after some
reflection, have concluded that they make
Il great fuss about a small matter. l only
wonder that so little crockery gets broken,
for it is very brittle, and is necessarily
handled a good deal. In most families,
tumblers, cups, saucers, plates, tureens,
get carried to the table, used there, carried
to the sink, washed, wiped, and set away
three times every day. And they are
handled by people Of all dispositions and
all ages.
"Now, sister Alice" Ruby went on,
turning to the meek Mrs. Mann, "don't
you let lIenry's reproachful remarks about
such matter disturb you at all. He ought
to know better, and | am going to try to
teach him better manners. l know and
lie knows that you are as economical a
housewife as it is reasonable to expect.
You try to teach the children and the ser
wants to be careful but children will be
children, and they wont have old heads on
their shoulders till time and experience
have made them old. They will gradually
learn carefulness. As for servants, of
course they are not to be expected to take
as good care of our property as they would
of their own. 1t is not in human nature,
rs we generally find it, to do so. If our
servants had been educated to a standard
of perfect Christianity, of course it would
be different. But now we must take them
as we find them, and make the best of it,
till we can educate a better set.
"And you, Henry said Ruby, turning

The Prayer.Seeker.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.

Along the aisle where prayer was made,
A woman, all in black arrayed,
Close-veiled, between the kneeling host,
With gliding motion of ghost,
Passed to the desk and laid thereon
A scroll which bore these words alone
Pray for me!
Back from the place of worshipping
She glided like guilty thing;
The rustic of her draperies, stirred
BY hurrying feet, alone was heard;
While, full of awe, the preacher read,
AS out into the dark she sped:
Pray for me-"
Back to the night from whence she came,
To unimagined grief or shame!
Across the threshold of that door
None knew the burden that she bore;
Alone she left the written scroll,
The legend of a troubled soul
Pray for me!
Glide on, poor ghost of woe or SIM
Thou leav'st a common need within;
Each bears, like thee, some nameless weight,
Some misery inarticulate,
Some secret sin, some shrouded dread,
Some household sorrow all unsaid.
Pray for as!
Pass on! The type Of all thou art
Sad witness to the common heart
With face in veil and seal on lip,
In mute and strange companionship,
Like thee we wander to and fro,
Humbly imploring as we go:
Pray for as!
All! who shall pray, since he who pleads
Our want perchance hath greater needs?
Yet they who make their loss the gain
OF others shall not ask in vain,
And heaven bends low to hear the prayer
OF love from lips of self-despair:
Pray for as!
In vain remorse and fear and hate
Beat with bruised hands against fate,
Whose walls of iron only move,
And open to the touch of love.
He only feels his burdens fall,
Who, taught by suffering, pities all.
Pray for as!
He prayeth best who leaves unguessed
The mysteries of another's breast.
Why cheeks grow pale, why eyes o'erflow
Or heads are white, thou need st not know.
Enough to note by many sign,
That every heart hath needs like thine.
Pray for as

dent says:-''We have just had the denouement
Of what did promise to be quite little romance.
Those Americans who passed last winter at Nice
may remember the excitement caused by the
mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Hill, who
was supposed to have drowned herself or to have
eloped. The Var was dragged for her body, and
a runaway couple OF suspicious manners was
pursued to a Genoese hotel; but all searches
proved vain until within a few weeks, when the
husband learned that the lost one was safe and
sound in a Roman convent. So he came on.

and demanded her surrender. Antonelli
said, Certainly, If she chooses to 60 with
you,' and gave him an order to that effect.
Mr.. Hill went, saw, and did not conquer the
lady declined to home, alleging that she was not
happy with him, and was happy where she was.
He cried out that it was Mortara case, and
threatened the English fleet, &c, &C.; but An
tOnelli simply replied: Z" Non passumvs, your wife
Is of age, and We cannot do violence to her in
clinations." All the poor man could learn was
the manner of her flight. She had suffered
some family affiiction, got religious, hired a
fishing boat and coasted down to Civita Vec-
CHA. At Rome she was cordially receiye.., of
course, and SO the tale has come to a prosaic
ending. Two New York lad es, Mrs. Hicks and
Mrs. Ward Burnett, initiated Mrs. Hills exam
pie last week, at least 80 far as to become Cath
olics; but neither of them expressed any desire
TO renounce the world, the flesh, and the devil,
to the extent of conventual seclusion."

A HEROINE.-The Erie Railway strike has

sa gray haired German named John Ventell,
residing in Eighth avenue. lie went to work
week ago, and greatly ANNOYED By the
strikers, at whose hands he received rOug
usage. Since Monday morning a daughter Of
Nentelfs thinking that her presence would
shield her aged father from insult, accompanied
him TO and from his work, but this did not save
them from SCOTS and jeers, and hustling about.
Last evening Miss Theresa came as usual. She
is a buxom, fine looking young German woman,
about twenty-five years of age. She carried
be ok under her arm with which to occupy her
time, and in her muif was concealed dainty
toy in the shape of six shooter. Miss Ventell
saih that Tuesday morning man insulted her
and she slapped his face for him. Upon Mr.. ".
being asked if he thought his daughter would
use the revolver in ease of trouble, he straight
ened up, and with apparent pride said, .iShe
has some of her fathers blood i'm he veins.'-
