Why Eve Didn't Need a Girl.

4 lady writer in one of our eX-
changes furnishes some of the reasons
Why Eve did not keep hired girl.
She says:
There has been a great deal said
about the faults OF women and why
they need so much waiting on. Some
"a man of course) has the presumption
to ask, "Why, when Eve was manu-,
factured out of u spare rib, a servant
was not made at the same time to
wait on her. Sic didn't need any
A bright writer has said Adam never
came whining to Eve with ragged
stocking to be darned, buttons to lie
Sowed on, gloves to be mended right
away-"quick, now" He never read
the newspapers until the sun went
down dehind the palm trees, and he
stretching himself, yawred ont, ''Is
supper ready vet, my dear:' Not he.
He made the fire and hung the kettle
over it himself, we'll venture, and
pulled the radishes, peeled the pota-
toes, and did everything else he ought
to do. He milked the cows, fed the
chickens and looked after the pigs
himself, and never brought home half
dozen friends to dinner when Eve
hadn't any fresh pomegranates. He
never stayed out till eleven o'clock at
night and then scolded because Eve
was sitting and crying inside the gates.
He never loated around corner grocer
les while Eve was rocking little Cams
era, lie at home. He never called Eve
up from the cellar to put away his slip
Iers. Not he. When he took them
off he rut them under the fig tree be
side his Sundar boots. In short he did
not think she Was specially created for
the purpose of waiting upon him, and
he wasn't under the impression that it
dissraced man to Tighten wife's
cares a little. That the reason Eve
did rot need a hired girl, and with it is
the reason her descendants did.
