House Cleaning.

An exchange makes the following
trite remarks on house cleaning: The
time has arrived when no man has a
place to lay his head, the day of house
cleaning making him a fugitive from
corner to corner until in despair, he sets
out for less lively quarters, wandering,
ah, who can tell whittier?
There is something pitiable too, about
the forlorn looking individual who has
been literally "dusted out" as with
chop-fallen countenance and hat over
his eyes he views that easy chair and
that comfortable lounge, moved from
their accustomed places to be put, as he
knows too well, in new place in the
Encouragement for warm weather. The
position, naturally the gentle reminder
to take more care in the future, brings
up forebodings of constant care called
into requsition to meet the demands, and
his easy chair and downy bed becomes
an eyer present monitor, with the motto
stake care" staring him in>the face like
gaunt spectre of woe.
