now SHE SAWS wooD.

Did you ever see woman undertake
to saw wood? 1t is always little while
before dinner, when the pies won't bake,
and the potatoes absolutely refuse 10
come to the boiling point, and the only
stick OF wood is exactly three inches too
long. After vain attempts to prove the
elasticity of matter by putting two-foot
three-inch stick into two-foot stove, she
goes ont to the saw horse, puts her knee
on the refractory stick in the way she has
seen men do. But the edges Of the wood
are sharp, aud she takes il down again
with an ejaculation, and with a growing
disregard for appearances, puts her foot
on it instead. Her hair never fails 10
come down at this iuncture, and she has
to stop and twist II into hard knot be-
hind before beginning TO saw, Here the
saw commences q frantic jumping and
skipping on its own account, aud the
whole feminine mind be concentrated
upon keeping up the foot ihat should be
down, until, in an unlucky moment the
centre Of gravity Is lost, the stick flies up
aud launches blow al her nose just as
somebody is going by. She stops and
pretends to be looking for something,
while dark thoughts Of divorce and sep
afation fash through her mind, aud sbo
vows 10 her innocent soul that she never
will attempt to saw wood again If there
,is never any dinner. But her pride and
her dinner are al stake, and all her native
obstinacy comes 10 the surface; she will
conquer that stick or die Fired by o
new iury she succeeds in saving two
thirds Of the way through, aud breaking

MAIDS AND mlSTREsSEs.

1t should be plain that examples ara a.
much 20 servants rs to children; since In
manner aud social training servants are
as children. The peasant-girl, reared IN
an Irish cabin or German cottage, can
hardly be expected to be a model of po-
litencss or of personal ncatncss. II il
quite possible, however, to teach her BY
example alone. If the mistress be cour-
teons TO every member Of the family, aud
they in turn TO her, the maid soon feels
the atmosphere of good breeding and un-
consciously becomes amiable and respect
full. But let the mistress speak sharply
TO her husband, or scold the children in
public, or let the master constantly find
fault In the presence of the servant, aud
she will shortly discover that courtesy is
not one of the essentials Of the establish
ment, and will, most likely, add black
looks and uncivil words to the general
disbarmony, Servants being initiative,
there is more reason that the conduct OF
employers be worthy Of imitation. Ifthc
mistress Of house be careful Of her
dress, her speech, her daily habits, her
handmade viii, In all probability, grow
more careful of her own. But the woman
who comes to her breakfast table with
disheyeod hair and rumpIed gown, has
no right TO find fault with the maid for
attending the door-bell in dirty calico
and slovenly shoes. Like mistress like
maid, as well as like master like man.
Unless good example be set, there is
no cause TO complain of servants for fol-
lowing bad one. As a rule, they are
ready to learn, though they may be duH
and slow Of comprehension. They would
rather improve their condition than de-
grade it, They would rather be ladies
than servants, Their ignorance makes
them mistake the false for tho true, the
bad for the good, II every mistress
would take pains 10 ret fair example to
her maids, and aid them, now and then,
by timely and delicate hints, she would
soon have servants who would be, IN
fact, the help they are III name. Scrib-
