her marriage with John Peaslee, and
If John could have his wishes gra'HiH Hd

A good, moral, religious woman Is
Penelope, and model Of society.
She always sits in church without
wriggling, no matter how long the
sermon might be. She was never
known to yawn, or notice any of tie
sisters new bonnets, and she is notice
for her charity. She always puts five
cents on the plate whenever it comes
round her way.
She helps support the minister
with lavish hand. She gives Lis
wife three skeins Of blue stocking
yarn yearly, TO knit the Elder pail
Of quarterly meeting stockings, ano
VIXEN she makes up her sausage in the
fall, she sends Mrs, Elder Payne hal
dozen Of tie largest links.
And John Peaslee subscrbes five
| dollars year 10 the ministers salary
What more could any reasonable per
son expect from Mr.. and Mrs. Johi
| Peaslee?
But Mrs. peaslee weakness is eX
treme in tidiness.
Its all very well to he orderly, and
