HOUSEWIFERY.

Let US speak with scorning never
OF the housewives patient round,
While our dearest memories ever
In the scene Of home are found;
And to-day, where'er we stray,
Peace no other where abides,
Than about our own flresides.
Word Of sweetest derivation,
From its normal meaning wrenehed;
Yet, in foreign installation,
Holding of its warmth unquenched,
Bearing trace, amid disgrace,
OF something not uncomely,
Since IT still is only homeiy.
Homely though each home-ly duty,
From no others spring so free,
Peace. content, and ease, and beauty.
And such true felicity;
Sleeping, waking, or fast-breaking,
Or the nooatidc board beside,
Nearing home when shadows glide.
or all social joys partalling,
Resting in affection sure,
Festal feasts for friendship,
Or in household ease secure.
And whene'er we sadly fare,
Whittier is it that we flee
To renew our bravery
II the world no homes were holding,
Kept by women's loving hands,
Unto Joy and rest enfolding,
What were life but barren sandsf
So We frown the scorner down
Who defames the housewives art,
Bringing JOY to every heart.
But if more OF skill and beauty
Be the plea for art so high,
And that cen the simplest duty
Nay be done most gracefully,
Welcome to the message new,
Longtime errors boldly sweeping,
That demean this sweet housekeepin
Bring ye here your skill artistic,
Bring ye here Inventions stride;
Weave with beauty, rare and mystic,
Many a homely task beside.
But beware, no scorning dare,
While, albeit, ye rest or roam,
Home IS HfGUeR and Heaven is home!

BEETHOVEN IN HIS HOME

Beethoven had the queerest ideas
imaginable about the origin of his
deafness, and persistently pretended
that the doctors knew nothing at ain
about it, and that they had treated hin,
all wrong, and that the real seat of
the evil was by no means in the ear, but
in the stomach! He used to be attended
to by sort of housel5eeper, whom,
however, he often sent ON errands. It
therefore happened sometimes that
visitors rang and knocked witho,,S the
slightest result. because he did not
hear them. They simply opened one
door after the other until they found
themselves in his presence, he being
made aware OF their arrival either by
seeing them, or, when his face was not
turned toward the door, by the sensa.
| ton of their treading the floor. He
then instantly came forward, with his
slate in hand, to begin tie conversation
in the only way possible for the poor
man. One OF these visitors gave me,
many years ago, description of what
the room looked like in which Bee
thoven wrote his immortal scores
The ceiling was rather low, but the
room was a large one, with big
square table in the middle, which was
covered with books Of all shapes and
sizes, papers, music, large repeater
watch, his ear trumpet, small memo
randum books in quantities, partly
written on, some yet containing rough
sketches of few bars, etc (; an ink
stand, an innumerable quantity Of pen
ellis of different colors, music paper.
both long and wide, ard any amount
of musical sketches and other things.
To the left stood his bed, covered with
music, printed and in manuscript; the
window-sills seemed to be made of
common wood, without any paint on.
On one Of them big nail served as a
support for fiddle and bow, and my
informant observed that the wood of
the window frames was covered with
pencil writings, partly music, and
partly short observations On several
chairs about lay what most likely at a
recent visit laundress had deposited
there-a number of shirts, white,
starched very stiff, and one or two
with jabots, the fashion Of that day.

a dream It is not only unsound, but
it is many respects directly the reverse

powers of observation, Darwin in this
matter fell into errors as profound as

acclamations with which it was received

1t is we'll to know that the plebiscites of

far as public discussion is concerned,
the ugly possibility has been contem-

We called at Tongatuba, the principal
island Of the Friendly or Tongan,

such strange stories. His house, we

through a handsome pair of cast-iron

proudly and snugly stored away the
royal buggy; rather an anomalous

repeated knocks at the front door we
decided to circumnavigate the estab-

out from the interior toward us. With

he conducted us away from the veranda
