THEIUCKY HORSESHOE.

A farmer travelling with his load
Picked up horseshoe in the road,
And nailed 1t fast TO his barn door,
That Luck might down upon him pour,
That every blessing known In lie
Might crown his hu umestead and his wife
And never any kind of harm
Descend upon his growlne iaim'
But dire ill-fortune soon began
To visit the astounded man,
His hens declined to lay their eggs;
His bacon tumble ed from the peg
And rats devoured the ialen lessi
His corn, that never failed before,
Mildewed and rotied on the boor;
His gra refused to end IN nay
His cattle died or went astray;
In short, all moved the crooked way
Next spring great drought baked the sod
And roasted every pea IN ppu
The beans declared they could not grow
SO long as nature acted 50
Redundant insects reared thelr oroou
To starve for lack Oi juicy food;
The slaves from barrel sides wont of
AS If they had the hooping-coush,
And nothing OF the useful KIND
TO hold together felt Inclined;
In short, IL was no use 10 Try
While all the land was In Try.
One morn demoralized with grief.
The farmer clamored for felioli
And prayed right hard TO understand
What Witchsraft now possessed his land
Why house and farm In misery grew
Since he nailed up that lucky" shoe.
While thus dismayed DER matters wrong
An old man CHANGED to trudge along,
To whom he told with wormwood tears,
| How his affairs were in arrears,
| And what "a desperate state OF things
| A picked up horseshoe sometimes brings.
| The stranger ask ed to see the shoe,
| The farmer brought 1t into view;
| But when the old man raised his mead,
| He laughed outright, and quickly said,
| "No wonder skies upon you ireWn-
You've nailed the horseshoe upside down
| Just turn IL round ana soon youil see
How you and Fortune Will agree"
The farmer turned the horseshoe round.
| And showers began to swell the ground {;
| The sunshine laughed among his grain
| and heaps on heaps piled up the vain
| The loft his hay could barely hoid,
| His cattle dad as they were told;
| His fruit tees needed sturdy props
To hold the gathering apple crops;
| His turnip and potato fields
| Astouished all men by their yield;
| Folks never saw such ears OF corn
As in his smiling hills were born;
| His barn was fun Of bursting bins
| His wife presented hun with Twins;
| His neigh bors marveled moro and more
TO see the increase in his store,
And now the merry farmer sings
There are two ways of doirg things
| Aud when for good luck you would pray
| Nail up the horseshoe The right way"

raj housework as well. 1t is easy for
wealthy, fashionable, strong minded
wNA.n to say :-"False pride ! Let
them do that OF starve ~ But ought
We to blan them Would we be
willing, if in their places, to earn
living by such work - II we cannot
honestly say yes, silence is more be-
coming than criticism. Furthermore,
it is not SO easy for educated girls to
get places atservice. Mistresses know
that they cannot do the hard work,
and they want girls who can. And
there is another cause which bars this
branch Of employment against sduea~
ted girls which ought not to exist, but
does. Few wives want educated girls
employed about their homes, because,
though many wives profess the most
implicit confidence in their husbands,
few wives trust them. Perhaps we
might add, truthfully, few husbands
deserve to be trusted. We might go
ON indefinitely considering the various
employments open 10 women and show
seriatim how, with few exceptions,
each employment is overcrowded with
applicants for position, and the pay Of
those who are employed barely suffi-
| cisnt to provide living, and at the
| end we should come back to our start
ing point, find thousands unemployed
though in the direct need of work, and
we should be again confronted by the
problem, "What shall our educated
| girls do to earn living p
This problem is closely connected
| I.IozI he - q
inseparable. If all, or nearly or all,
our young men got married, there
would be employment enough for all
the girls left over. Why, then, do not
our young men get married. Some
body has remarked recently, "a young
man with q salary Of 81, 900 year is
rich. A married man with an income
of $40, 900 is in constant danger of the
poor house." This, in our judgment,
although an exaggerated statement,
puts the case in a nutshell and furn-
ishes the kernal of sufficient answer.
An unmarried man, with an income oi
81, 900 a year, is indeed rich. He car
dress elegantly, attend entertainments
TO liberal extent, live at the best ia
bles, have comfortable and Luxurious
apartments, and, II he Is reasonapl!
watchful of his expenses, can alwayI
have spending money in his pocket
Let him marry, and, though his salar.
be doubled, nine times out of ten III
will be insufficient to meet his expen
ses. To make the ends meet he econ
omizes in all directions. There are M
more fine clothes, no more feasts, NJ
moro long summer journeys, but dull
steady grind to keep out of debt. Th
unmarried men see these changes il
thel companions and they do no
marry. We do not mean to say tina
the picture we have drawn applies t
all married couples, or is even the Fl
nal outcome of married life. Man,
couples begin right, many, very man,
moro learn wisdom by bitter expert
ence, and get righted after some year
. of married life, but the example o
the first years has had its effect.

Drowning has been the epidemic of the week. In
every instance too, it has been the same class who
furnished the victims. On the sea-beach up on the
lakes in the rivers. it is always the foolhardy man
or silly woman who knows nothing about sailing
vet goes out in cockeshells of boats over deep
water; who knows nothing about either the surf
or swimming, yet throws aside the life-rope and
ventures further than anybody else into the under
tow Our indignation is almost equal to our pity
in reading of such senseless suicides, the moro as
these CHASTITY dead bodies dragged out daily have
no effect in deterrng fresh crowds of silly people
from daily risks of the sort. The only persons
on whom these terrible warnings apparently have
any effect the victims themselves, who arc dead
and cannot reform One can forgive much to the gay
ETY. of lads and young girls ont for their
Summer holiday. But II they knew as they axe
their foolhardy exhibitions river. the
contemptuous compassion with which they are
watched by tho real sailors or fishermen OH shore
who know the water, they would spare themselves
much actual risk and more modification. Unfor-
