visited the Rajate of Puttjala, where
resided a rich and powerful baboo, by

An inexperienced Housekeeper.

An inexperienced HOusekeeper.
After Mrs. Rumble was married,
she went in for housekeeping. She
was entirely ignorant Of the art, and
wholly unfamiliar with tine utensils
with which it was conducted, and MIR.
Rumble was no wiser. Mrs. Rumble's s
mother ordered her furniture and
things for the house, and on the day
they arrived Rumble came home and
found his wife almost mad. "That
outrageous, unprincipled tradesman, .
she said, ''knows l am inexperienced,
and he has tried to impose on me,
William. He has sent ME a tin wash
basin full of holes, SO that it leaks
awfully. He must think I'm simple
if he believes I'm going to keep such
thing rs thatr' William desired to
see it, and Mrs. Rumble went into the
kitchen, and brought ont--a coiander!
Mr.. Rumble examined it, and sug-
gested that it might perhaps be
worm eaten. But he said it was a
scandalous fraud, anyhow, and he put
on his hat, wrapped the colander in
paper, and went to see the tradesman
about it. When he came home he
had the colander with him, and he
maintained gloomy silence as he
dashed it down ON the kitchen table,
and refused to explain about it; but
Mrs. Rumble obtained the necessary
information in subsequent interview
with her mother. She thinks now
that William would be happier if sht
had more intimate familiarity witt
colanders and such things.

THE RUNAWAY HORSE.
How the Hue of Her Hose Wasn't
Discovered.

Let him who donbts Providence
Both scrupulous and strong,
Sees, shapes, and watches o'er our ends
Give ear unto my song.
Eliza was fair young girl,
Cody and goodly too;
She wore Il panier, number twelve,
And slipper, number two.
Hers, ankle fine and foot divine,
Combinations plump,
And innocent of cotton, that
Made hearts of seers thump.
Had these degenerate days of ours
Not gone for legal-tender,
Some social Aaron viewing her
IIer-ankle, swelling, slender,
Had surely toiled to model it,
Had wrought a cunning mold,
And set up for all men to see
Another Calf of Gold,
Alasl that many maiden holds,
As sadly knows the poet,
That, if her foot is pretty, then
Her duty tits to show it.
Eliza was not one of these,
But modest as a saint, :
As Il violet meath the mossy stone,
Or as most women amt.
On windy days, religiously
She summed the public street,
And muddy crossings favored by
Male connoisseurs in feet.
1t fell upon an autumn day
OF bleak and blundering mood,
Eliza was returning from
An errand of great good;
TO II narrow, muddy walk she came,
Where three bad young men stood.
Now these were very bad Young men
To whom no themes were meet
For converse that did not treat of
Striped hose and pretty feet.
And these young men were betting men
And wagers they would lay
On any subject any man
Might start on any day;
And when Eliza they beheld
Approaching modestly,
Quoth Jones: "Ihat HERS are white
and red
| will wager thee ""
Saith Brown: '.THEIR hue is white and
blue
Let Smith be referee"
These words the modest maiden heard,
And her mind WAS torn apart
With the tiercest passions that can rage
In any female heart.
Dilemma dire she could not dodge,
A double-horned distress;
70 show them, or to show them not?
TO lift, or spoil her dress?
But, E'hoping something might turn up
Beside her garments, she
Walked slowly TO that muddy spot
Where stood the dauntless three.
The three stool calm and silent. -
And looked upon her feet
Are there no stones above but such
As serve for the thunder fleet?
Will no Destroying Angel wing
His way adOwn the street!
Many the shapes that fortune takes!
Odd are the parts she plays!
Incredible her Instruments.
And wonderful her ways.
The maid had reached the muddy spot
Her skirt was partly raised;
With speculation in their eyes
Those three bad young men gazed--
When, 10! adown the muddy street
a young and fiery colt,
A grocer's wagon hitched unto,
Came like thunderbolt!
There came a burst of thunder-sOund-
Those young men where were they?
With broken bones, both Brown and
Jones
In the muddy gutter lay.
And clod of mud with fearful thud
1t struck the referee.
And made him like to those heather
men
Who have eyes but can not see,
And his sense misused was cancelled like
that
Of Tom of Coventry.
And so it was that Eliza fair,
That goodly, godly maid,

"Well," said my friend, 81 never saw it

to the Vatican DEGREES, the Infsllibility

all these matters Catholics should be posted,
so as to see whether people have been talk
ing sense or nonsense. In the Young Men 8
Society all such questions can be discussed,
and every Catholic can acquire knowledge
to communicate the truth to his friends and
acquaintances. HIS Grace proceeded to al
Jude to other grand objects of the Associs-
ton. Indeed, the principal one was. the
practice of religion, the cultivation of mu:
tual charity, which, said his Grace, should
be eviuced by Catholics in all their actions
more than by any other body. At the con-
clusion of his address the Pope's blessing
was given to the congregation. HIS Grace
