it with a broad brinmed gypsy. always gay
with knot of crimson flowers. "She could af-

How HE EXPLAINED IT TO HER.-A few days
ago an old lady from the west part of Wayne
county, Michigan, was selling some butter to a
grocer in Detroit, when she overheard some per-
son mention the Beecher scandal.
"What is that thing anyhow" asked the old
lady. "Its bin in the papers, but my eyes are
poor, and haven't felt like reading"
= "Well it's just this" replied the grocer as he
scraped out the crock "you see, Beecher hired
Mrs. Tilton to knit him twelve pair of socks ;
and when she got 'em done he tried to pass a
counterfeit bill on her."
"Is that sop exclaimed the aged dame;
"well, don't blame the papers single bit for
showing him up-he's worse'n vagabound!"

DAMS WIFE.
BY KATE TRUE.

BY KATE TRUE.
Up in early morning light,
Sweeping, busting, "setting right,''
0iling all the household springs,
Sewing buttons, tying strings,
Telling Bridget what to do,
Mending rips in Johnny's shoe,
Running up and down the stair,
Tying baby in her chair,
Cutting meat and spreading bread,
Dishing out so much per head,
Eating as she can, by chance,
Giving husband kindly glance,
Toiling, working, busy life,
"Smart woman,
Dams wife,
Dan comes home at fall of night,
Home so cheerful. neat and bright,
Children meet him at the door,
Pull him in and look him Ger,
Wife asks How the work has gone 7"
"Busy times with us at home !"
Supper done-Dan reads at ease,
Happy Dan, but one to please
Children must be put to bed
All the little prayers are said;
Little shoes are placed in rows,
Bed clothes tucked DER little tees,
Busy, noisy, wearing life,
Tir woman,
Dams wife.
Dan reads on and falls asleep,
See the woman softly creep;
Baby rests at last, poor dear,
Not a word her heart to cheer,
Mending basket full to top,
Stockings, shirt and little frock,
Tired eyes and weary brain,
Side with darting, ugly pain;
"Never mind, twill pass away"
She must work but never play:
Closed piano, unused books,
Done the walks to easy hooks,
Brightness faded out of life,
Saddened woman,
Dams wife.
Up stairs, tossing to and fro,
Fever holds the woman low;
Children wander, free to play
When and where they will, to-day;
Bridget loiters-dinner's cold,
Dan looks anxious, cross, and old;
Household screws are out of place,
Lacking one dear, patient face,
Steady hands SO weak but true,
Hands that knew just what to do,
Never knowing rest or play,
Folded now-and laid away;
Work of six in one short life,
Shattered woman,
Dan wife.

Because:
They always put the pillows upon the oppo-

while you read and smoke before sleeping (as is
the ancient and honored custom of bachelors),
you have to hold your book aloit, in an uncom-
Portable position, to keep the light from dazzling
your eyes.
If they cannot get the light in an uncomfort-
Bile position any other way they move the bed
If you pull your trunk out six inches from
the wall, so that the lid will stay up when you
open it, they always shove that trunk back
again. They do it on purpose.
They also put your boots into inaccessible
places. They chiefly enjoy depositing them as
far under the bed as the wall will permit 1t
is because this compels you to get down in an
undigniied manner and make wild sweeps for
them in the dark with the bootjack, and swear.
They always put the match box in some other

day, and put bottle or some other perishable

ing about in the dark, and get yourself into
trouble.
They are forever moving the furniture
When you come in, in the night, you can cal
culate on finding the bureau where the ward
rode was in the morning. And when you come
in at midnight, or therabouts, you will fall over
the rocking chair, and you will proceed toward
the window and set down in the slop tub. THIS
will disgust you. They like that
No matter where you put anything they won't
let it stay there. They will take it and move
it the first chance they get.
They always save up the old scraps of print
ed rubbish you throw on the floor, and stack
them up carefully on the table, and then start
the fire with your valuable manuscripts.
And they use more hair hair oil than any six
men.
They keep always coming to make your bed
before you get up, thus destroying your rest
and inficting agony upon you, but after you
get up they don't come any more till the next
day.

rs" According to the Boston Journal of
CHEMISTRY the white of an egg has proved of
late the most efficacous remedy for burns
Seven or eight successive applications of this
substance soothes the pain and effectually ex-
cludes the burn from the air. This simple
remedy seems preferable to colodion, or even
cotton. Extraordinary stories are told of the
healing properties of new oil which is easily
made from the yolks of hens eggs. The eggs
are first boiled hard, the yolks are then re
moved crushed, and placed over fire, where
they are cartully stirred until the whole sub
stance is just on the point of catching fire when
the oil separates and may be poured off. 1t is
in general use among the colonists of Southern
Russia as means of curing cuts, bruises and
scratches.
