Varnish on the Church Pews.

There was quite scene at one of the
churches last Sunday. 1t seems that
during the vacation the seats had been
newly vanished, and somehow the w
nish was not right, as it was terribly
sticky. You know that when you pull
anything of of sticky varnish it cracks.
Well, the audience had all got seated,
when the minister got up to give out the
hymn, and as the basement of his trous-
ers let loose of the varnish of.s.his chair
there was q noise like killing fly on the
wall with palm-lcaf fan. The minister
looked around at the chair to see If he
was all present. and that no guilty mans
pants had escaped, and read the hymn.
The choir rose with sound Of revelrY,
and after the tenor had swallowed q loz-
cnge, and the bass had coughed up
piece Of frog, and the alto had manned
and the soprano had shook out her polon-
aise to see If the varnish showed on the
south side, the audience began to rise
One or two deacons got up first, with
sounds Like picket firing in the distance
on the eve Of battle, and then few
more got up, and the rafting Of the un-
yielding varnish sounded as though the
fight was becoming more animated, and
then the whole audience got on its feet
at once with q sound Of rafting musket-
~. The choir sang, Hold the Fort.
When the orchestra had concluded the

A Shetland Housewife.

We found Kirstie up to her eyes in
work and Importance. In the middle OF
the kitchen stood long, tub-like ma
chine about yard high and foot and q
half in diameter, narrowing at the top,
and Kirstie, laboring with churn-staf,
was conjuring cream into butter. A
strong, red checked country girl, Kirstie's
fag, was looking on. and Kirstie would
allow her, occasionally to take turn at
the staff, standing over her to see that it
was properly done. This churn. staff was
being vigorously worked up and down.
to a distinct rythm or measure,
without which Kirstie would not have
believed in the butter that came
As she churned she shot forth her re-
marks to one or another, and we escaped
not her quick penetration and sharp wit
when she refused to believe that the seal
had been left behind to be stuffed. She
had just been making batch OF scenes,
thirty or forty of them, and while churn-
ing superintended the baking and turn
ing in the oven. Delicious they were,
though made Of coarse meal of dull dun
color; meal that had probably been
ground in one Of the little Shetland mills
dotted about the country. I acknowl-
edged their merit when she offered me
one hot, smoking and well buttered, and
asked tor Q compliment upon the light
ness Of her hand. Soon, too, the con-
tents Of the churn diminished, condensed,
and the butter from which the milk had
presently to be pressed, came in answer
to the measured call of the churn staff =

was so accustomed to it, that he would
have missed it, and not felt natural with

Que day late in the winter, Nabby was
washing for Mrs. Hosley.
"Soyou've taken Josiah back again,
after all, = said Mrs. Hosley.
well, yes, I have" said Nabby, Civ
ing a last twist in the sheet she was
wringing out, ''Josiah mayn't be very
much to brag Of, but then, you see, he's
my own, and all I've got. We're getting
to be old folks, Josiah and me, and we
may as well put up with each other the

"How has he been doing since he came
back?''
ssFirst rate. He's walked as straight
as string ever since. He's good pro-

master hand for fxin' up things around
the house and maxim it comfortable. I
tell you what It's, Mrs. Hosley, we've got

they are, and make the best ont"
I'm glad to see you so much happier

SWELL, I used to fret and complain a
good deal because things hadn't turned
out as expected 'em to, but lately I've
thought good deal about it ali, and
I've made up my mind that there's con.
siderable comfort for every one in this

what we want, but we git somethin'.''
In this piece Of philosophy believe
Nabby was about right.

AND THOU HAST VOTED. !"

Letter from Brooklyn young lady to a
Boston miss who exercised the right Of suff-
rage:l
And thou hast voted What didst thou wear
When thou didst vote? How was it trim
med!
What thine arrangement OF thine hair?
Alas that fate should 60 have lirnned
My life in shadows dun and black
That can't be party. hackl
And thou hast voted! Describe the hat y
Thou worest. Indeed, it should be white
To mark the era by thy toll begat-
An era of acquittal from the blight
Which man, the tyrant, seeks to place
On all sweet, lovely woman's race.
And thou hast voted! Didst thou wear street
Or evening costume at the polls?
Did high-laced shoes begirt thy Boston feet,
Or buttoned boots with heavy. soles?
o glorious suffrage! Heavens gift
To lend doWn-trodden girls lift!
Didst thy dress trail, or was it short,
When thou didst put thy ballot in?
Didst cut it bias, or didst gore It?
VAST hauled we'll aft ana caught with pin ?
Alas that have ell that thou hast,
And more, and yet cannot vote cast,
Have not dresses short and long?
Have not aspirations high?
Then why should SO suffer wrong?
Why sat upon by men am I?
Why limit suffrage to pants, vest and coat?
Why should not silks and cotton votep
Men call me angel, swear Pm blest,
Pure as maiden otbox;
And yet I'm not correctly dressed
When I would utter Jenaine voS,
The very paper have on to-day
Forbids my suffrage, now, Away
And thou hast voted! Write to me,
And tell me what the people said
When thou walkedst up. I'd like to see
Just how thou lookedst from heel to head
For regard thee more than human.
P. ST. hope you didn't vote for woman.
