Drudge Mothers and Lady-Daugh-
ters.

From the Youths Companion.
Everyone blames the ladydaughtcr and
pitics the drudgc-mother. The daughter
sits in the parlor, in nice clothes and Gle
gantly arranged hair, dawdling over novel
or chatting with companions or friends.
Her mother is toiling in the kitchen, or fret
ting her soul in the vain attempt to reduce
the pile of Intending and at the same time
looking after tumbling baby. The moth
er's face is pale and thin. Baby has pulled
her hair askew She still wears the old
dress that she put on in such hurry at half
past five in the morning, when the baby
woke her up from q weary sleep. She is
tired! She is always tired. She is
tired on Saturday; she is tired on Sunday;
evening, and goes to bed and gets up tired.
It is hard not to get angry with the daugh-
ter, we confess. She can look into her ex-
much work there is to. be done; and never
willing to put forth a hand to help her. Nay
she is going out to tea this evening, and will
come to her mother to have a dress adjusted
for the great occasion. She casts much Of
the burden of her existence upon the too
generous heart that she does not appreciate,
and never once feels the impulse to give
the aid of her youthful strength.
In all our modern world, there
is not.an uglier sight than this-no not one.
It is but natural to throw the blame of il
upon the daughter !" Heartltss wretch!' We
have heard such q girl called by indignant
acquaintance She is to be pitied rather,

important is it to correct growing tendency
to irregularity in the habit of body. The

evidences of bodily ill-being.. A
course of Hostetter's Stomach Bittcrs
will give an impetus to the OPP

ed not only in the beneficial effects it pro-
duccs upon them, but also in more regular
