HoUsE-cLEANINo TIME.

The melancholy days have come, the drearlest
3 of our lives;
Ofcrying babies, cherries homes and frettine.
fuming wives.
In dire confusion here and there the household
gods are strewn;
They catch the good mans tender feet, they
echo many groan.
The merry jest is heard no more; laughter has
flown away,
And stin within the weary housewife scrubs the
hve-long day.
Where are the men, the gallant men, who yes
terday were seen
Upon the street in new spring suit, all s'spick,
and span and clean?'
Alack a-dayi They are not dead but sadder far
their fate;
They re beating carpets, luckless wights, out by
the garden gate;
The dust Is flying where they stand their work
they're doing well;
But the comments they are making we will never
dare to tell
The cobwebs and the fly vignettes that graced
the whitewashed wall,
Tho coal dust and the dirt beneath the broom
have vanished, all;
But the moths within the closets and the bugs
beneath the springs
Lie low and slyly laugh at mop, and broom and
all such things,
TIL in vengeful fury on their heads the scalding
storm-clouds burst,
And for a happy time we're free from all sue
pests accurSed.
Here, at last the evening comes; thank God,
such days must close;
And the length'nIng shadows bid the weary
workers seek repose;
But the rat-tat of the hammer falls upon our
list'n ming ear.
And now, on bended knees, beneath the rays OF
lamp-light clear,
The housewife scans the CARPET for the tack
whose point she feels;
And' Oh that this should be-but She s not pray
ing as she kneels.
And as we look upon her. in her working-day at
tire,
With her eyes just flashing lightning and her
cheeks a fame OF fire.
And remember how we promised to protect and
shield from care,
To walk beside her on life journey and all its
burdens share,
Our conscience loud upbraids US, and repentant
and contrite
To her side we has en-, murm' ring: Dearest
one, Wen hold the light

The Pope has weakness for chess. He
is very fine player, aud in the amateur
ranks is said to have few superlors in the
knowledge Of gambits and openings. There
Is one priest in Rome who has the especial
honor of being the Pope's adversary over
the board. This priest-Father Giella-has
played chess with Leo Pecci for thirty two
years past When Cardinal Pecci was
raised to the Papal throne Father Giella,
who was then in Florence, got an invitation
to proceed to Rome and take up his quar-
ters in the Vatican. Giella is hot-tempered,
and has been known to look very black in
deed at the Vicar of Christ across his chess
board. The Pope takes Giella's temper
good-naturedly, and often improves the oc-
casion by little hopily on the virtues of
resignation and meekness.

ordered one.
1t ca me in due time and was very well
pleased with 1t. 1t had nickel-plated COM
plexion with enameled name and tail and
was really quite a nice-looking article. The
next day hired small boy to bring it out in
the woods for me, as did not care to learn
to ride with the public gaze on me.
1t was beautiful spring day; the egg
plant was just beginning to Law and the
rail fences were in bloom Over in the
woods piece a Shanghai rooster was
cooling to his mate, the farmer in the next

distinctly hear the animated twitter of an
excited pig. In short, all nature seemed CAV.

Then for the first time got on NV bicycle.
1t was also the last time.
There are several ways Of falling Off a

when you start to fall you don't have a

After he has learned how to fall off with

How Honest Matthew Riley Protects

Mrs: Hallowen was a very pretty and
amiable widow, but, says the Detroit Com
mercial Advertiser, she had a sorrow. She
had arrived at q critical period when age
shows its marks upon the face, and es.
peclally IN the frost it sprinkIes upon the
hair. She.resolved to dye the latter, and for
that purpose made arrangements with q
certain tonsorial artist, Mr.. Donegah, who,
at her request, was to meet her at ten
O'Clock at night, to avoid observation, and,
in the privacy of her own boudoir, restore
her hair to jet-black hue
She had agreed to attend a party that
night, and, of course, was anxious to have
her hair-dyer prompt. At ten o'clock she
was awaiting him, eager for his appearance
The bell rang, but the hair-dresser did not
present himself before her. She sent down
her maid to make inquiries of Matthew
Riley, the Irish footman, who also officiated
as attendant at the door,
"Who was it rangp asked Charlton, the
maid
"a blackguard," (" replied Matthew Riley
"Whol" said Charlton.

man. "Bedad, if it wasn't for fear of the
police, I'd tache him better"
What did he want?'' continued the maid.

said Charlton, ready to die with laughing.
But, bedad, he came back again lust

1t as his opinion that the light emitted by
shooting stars Is not due TO confiagration
or to the heat Of impact In those high

is much more likely the phenomenon is

1t Causes His Arrest and Lands
Him In jail.
Louis Alderman, the Alameda-street
saloon-keeper who few days ago pro-
cured the arrest OF man named Bolder
on a charge of attempting to rape Mrs.
Alderman, was arrested last night on
a charge of disturbing the peace. Not
long after sundown the people in the
neighborhood of his residence were
startled by the cries of woman who
wanted the police. In the midst of the
noise which ensued the sound of pistol
shot was heard, and Immediately after.
ward the officers arrived and captured the
offender. 1t appears that he had been
imbibing pretty freely, and the fact that
Bolder's case was dismissed appeared to
weigh heavily ON his mind. When
he went homo and met Mrs. Ackerman
he accused her of being the cause of the
dismissal of the case. She denied it and
in his anger he siezed anything that
came within reach and threw it about
the room. This frightened Mrs. Acker.
man, who called for the police. Then he
drew his revolver and fired the shot
which was heard. 1t did no damage ex-
cept to the wall of the room. The police
then took him away and he was locked
up for the night.
