She Was Sure of It.

A wag was riding in an old-fishioned
stage-coach on a summers day with a
female, who had arrived at the age when
the milk and sugar in woman's compost
ton naturally turns little acid. This
fastidious female, upon passing a pond,
was shocked beyond expression by OBJ.
serving five or six small urchins as naked
as they were born, sporting in the water.
ooh, my! how disgraceful; what shock
ing yulgarityl" Hercompanion said moth
ing in reply at the time, but after the
lapse of a few moments, as if the subject
had just occurred in his mind, he suddenly
remarked-"that was disgraceful con-
duct in those young ladies back there, in
sight of every one, stark naked"
"Young ladies!" squalls aunt vinegar,
they was every one of 'em boys"
"Ah!' was the bland reply of her COM

SATURDAY NIGHT.

Placing the little hats all in a row,
Ready for church on the morrow, you know;
Washing wee faces and little black Ests
Getting them rcady and ft 10 be kissed;
Putting them into clean garments and white;
That Is what mothers are doing tonight
Spying out holes in the little worn hose;
laying by shoes that are worn thro' the toes,
Looking DER garments 80 faded and thin
Who but mother knows where 10 bcgin2
Changing button to make II look right
That is what mother. are doing tonight.
Calling the little ones all round her chair,
Hearing them lisp forth their soft evening
prayer,
Telling them stories Of Jesus Of old,
Who loves to gather lambs to his fold;
Watching, they listen with childish delight
That is what mothers are doing tonight
Creeping so softly to take last peep,
After the little ones all are asleep;
Anxious TO know II the children all are warm,
Tucking the blanket round each little form;
Kissing each little face, rosy and bright
That is what mothers are doing tonight
Knccling down softly beside the white bed,
Lowry and meekly she bows down her head,
Praying as only mother can pray,
God guide and keep them from going
astray."

Sewing Machine.

Probably no one invention has come
into so general Use as the sewing machine
The business Of manufacturing and selling
them has grown up mainly within the
past fifteen years, but during the last ten
years has increased rapidly. There are
now made and sold annually in the Uni
ted States about 5000 sewing ma
chimes, and in every city, town, village
and hamlet the useful machines are more
or less in use. Some of the largest manu-
factories are now running extra hours to
keep up with orders, and even then are
unable to supply the demand.

city of a magician with the imprudence
Of the devil. He must know how to
