A Boston man has vest that Fanny
Fern made with her own hands. Aud
we will bet 800 that it never did and
never will fit any man in this wide, wide
world; that they can't tell by its shape
whether 1t was originally made for fat
woman or lean man, for man with q
sway back. or a man with hump on his
back like camel. Woman, Heaven bless
her is the light of our homes, but when
she tries to make mans vest the angels
weep. And when she makes q pair OF
pantaloons for him the immortal gods lust
hold their sides and run away out into
the woods and roll on the grass and howl.

A child has a right to ask questions
and 70 be fairly answered; not to be
snubbcd as if be was guilty of an imper-
tlnence, nor ignored as though his desire
for information were of no consequence,
nor misled as if it did not signify whether
true or false impressions were made upon
his mind. He has right to be tau ght
everything which he desires to learn, and
to be made certain, when asked for in
formation is withheld, that it is only de-
terred till he is older and better prepared
to receive it. Answering child's CUES
tions is sowing the seeds of its future
character
A woman who had spent the greater
part OF the day in going to auction sales,
concluded she would attend service at a
fashionable church in New York on her
way home. Wearied and won out, she
soon becam oblivious to her surroundings,
and was only awakened by the rustling
OF the congregation as they arose to re-
ceive the penediction. Seeing the minis
ter's hand raised IN the air, she waved
her handkerchief at him, and said, in
firm, clear voice, "Ill take the green
washstand, if you'll throw in the bowl
and pitcher" -Andrew's Bazar.
All mothers work for their children
willingly, but not all give their sympa-
thy. Let any woman reckon over the
minutes of the day when she is her
child's companion--not nurse, nor seam
stress, nor instructor she will b..
startled to discover how little there is in
common between her thoughts and theirs.
1t will be sufficient with all thoughtful
mothers to make this discovery in order
to try to bring about change in this
respect.
IF Adam could for ten minutes come
to life would he recognize the old place,
the same old city lots, the same old lem
ons, oranges, figs, elephants, snakes,
dandelions, pie plant, peanuts, sassafars
andpersimmons that he used to name
up and chalk down? All would be gone.
He would recognize naught. But if he
happened to wander into the negro min
strels he could hear the same old Jokes.

A friend is person with whom may
be sincere. 1 arrive at last in the pres
ence of a man so real and equal, that I
may drop even those undermost garments
of assimilation, courtesy and second
thought, which men never put off, and
may deal with the simplicity and whole
ness with which one chemical atom meets
another Emerson.
