HOUSE CLEANING,

The sweetest woman In the world becomes o
terror when
The season comes which tries the souls OF oil
home.loving men;
Whom soap and wet and slop and steam and
dire confusion reign
And to the god OF cleanliness she dedicates her
brain
'Ils then man feels that marriage may adireful
failure be,
And in his secret soul, perhaps, he wishes he
were free.
She tears the carpets up with vim, and wields
the lusty brush;
The cat puts up her fuzzy back and vacates
with rush.
The dog, with tail half mast skulks out and
hides himself away;
He knows the racket she Is on will last for
many n day;
The sage old spiders save their lives by fleeing
to the cracks,
And all the flies that wintered through fall
prone upon their backs
All your old coats and easy shoes, and hats that
tit your head,
The magazines you've just looked through, and
circulars unread,
She sells for Junk and when you ask, with
mild and pcnsive air,
Where they have gone, she looks ut you-and
echo answers "WhereS"
And though you should get mad and swear, 1t
wouldn't change her plan;
She won't have such old rubbish round, just
like II shiftless man,
And then she pins her gown up front; determin-
ed is her mein,
Which says that though the heavens do fall she
shall go on and CLEAN!
Cold rooms, cold dinners, chill BEDS cold sofas,
ice.cold chairs,
smell of varnish everywhere, tacks on the
slippery stairs!
Wet rags waylay you at each turn, cold winds
run riot through
The empty halls-shc's airing of, her nose con-
gealed and blue!
She skins her lsnuckles, tears her nails, her
head and body ache,
But she is happy, for she knows her house would
take the callc!"
No nook or corner has escaped, stern order set
ties DER
That domicile, from attic down to clean swept
cellar floor.
And though that woman's almost dead, her
forehead is serene,
Because she knows, let come what may, that
house of hers IS clean!

certain division, ten miles in length,
that lay about midway on the line, the
total extent of which was seventy miles.
This division began on the verge of the
vast Madapur forest, and lay completely
in the midst of a dense, tangled jungle,
which was inhabited by but few people,
and on the other hand was infested with

make daily trips on the division; the
young trees were apt to loosen at the
root and topple over on the track, and
some times the earthen banks would sink
into the treacherous soil of the jungle.
One damp, sultry morning l had just
started from the station and my trolly
men, Pershad and Jung, were bowling
me along at a gentle rate of speed,
when Colonel Danvers, commandant of
the cantonment at Mymensing, stepped
on the track just ahead of me, with his
gun on his shoulder and couple of ma

"My dear fellow" said the Colonel, as
soon as the first greeting was over,
''you surely don't make your inspection

by magazines for literary work. Of

those who have, by constant practice,

know what is most desired by editors.
1t is safe, think, for beginners TO de-
pend upon the following prices: Poems

poem of average length is accepted
say four verses of eight lines eacb-the
price is from So to S15 each. A short
story of 1000 words commands S25 to S35

every thing depending on the strength
of the story and the magazine to which
it is sold, Prose articles of any merit
whatever range from 81 to $40 per thou
sands words, the average being about So.
OF course, prices for literary work, as
prices for dry goods or any thing else,
vary according to the quality of the
goods, but those l have quoted are, L
think, safe for beginners to depend upon,
provided, of course, that they fall into
the hands of reputable magazines. AS

the first cap the grouse slightly shook
himself but seemed to swell his breast
out more. My brother continued taking
caps from his pocket and swapping them
at the grouse, bringing his gun up each
time and taking deliberate aim until
nine were exploded. The grouse seemed

ALONG THE RIVIERA.
a Country Where Games of Chance Have
ALWAYS Been In Favor,

Gaming is habit of very old date
along the Riviera; it might continue if
the casino at Monte Carlo were razed to
the ground, At San Reno games of
chance are forbidden by law now, yet
the lottery, which is the most demoral.
izing of all forms of gambling, is per-
mitted there, as in all Italian cities.
Upward of a century ago the game OF
chance commonly played at San Reno
was biribi. This game is chiefly kept
in remembrance by references to it in
the writings of noted men. For ex-
ample, Paul Louis Courier, in one of his
Incompatible pamphlets, twits the FL
nance Minister of his day with playing
biribi with the finances. This game
was far more unfavorable to the player
than the roulette which is played at
Monte Carlo in these days. A biribi
table contains seventy compartments,
each compartment being distinguished
by figure and n number. SiXty-four
balls, with figures painted and numbers
marked on them, are placed in a bag.
The player puts his stake in one of the
compartments. and il the ball drawn
out of the bag should correspond to it
then he receives 81 times his stake.
There are Ga chances to l against a
player at biribi receiving any thing; al
roulette the chance of his doing so on a
number is SO to 1, and no person has yet
made a fortune by playing on numbers
at roulette. Thus the modern game of
roulette ruins player more slowly than
the older one of biribi.
The game of roulette, or, as it is des-
ignated in the statute book, ''roly poly"
is an ingenious device for inspiring a
player with the prospect of gain, and
for insuring that the player will con-
tribute to maintain the keepers of the
table. There is more excitement in
playing at roulette than at trente-et.
quarante, though the certainty of ulti-
mate loss is the same at either. In
deed, the man who dramatically spec
utates on the stock exchange, who bets
on the turf, or who games at Monte
Carlo helps to add to a stockholders in
come in the first place, to increase a
bookmaker's profits in the second, and
to pay dividends to the shareholders in
the casino in tho third. i assume that
in each of the three cases every thing
has been done fairly and in accordance
with the rules laid down.
Ibis point Of view is not sufficiently
borne in mind. When the wickedness
of gaming is denounced, too little heed
is paid to its unprofitableness, and
human beings are more reluctant to do
that which will not pay than that which
is called sinful. There is wild delight
in SHINING which is not felt in losing
money.-Nineteenth Century.

CHARACTER OF CATS.
The View Puss Takes of the Philosophy
OF Nature and Life.

OF NRture anu 1it6s
The bent Of the cats mind was rleas-
antly defined few years ago by a
writer in the London Spectator. who
said there could be no doubt as h the
view Puss took of the philosophy of
nature and life. She is quite satisfied
that the world and every thing In it
were made and exists for cats. This
appears in all that well-bred and cared-
for cats do, and in every accent and tone
of their voice. Puss possesses herself
with the air of proprietor Of the best
place and the best food; expects to be
waited upon; demands share of every
dish; and looks upon us as at once her
Providence and her servant.
Cats are not demonstrative like dogs,
and do not submit to training like the
the horse. The dog has been credited
with unbounded affections, and the
horse with almost human sagacity; but
the cat still suffers under the bad char
acter that Buffon-who can not have
been acquainted with any reputable
specimens of the race-gave her. She
is said to be selfish, spiteful, cruel,
crafty, treacherous, loving places and
not persons, and in every way unworthy
OF fellowship in the household. j. q.
Wood answers these accusations by say
ing that the cats with which he has
been most familiar shave been as do.

dog could be, and displayed an amount

WHEN SWEETHEART DIED.

The sun was hid when sweetheart died;
1t seemed to us as though he tried =
To show in this way that he grieved
To see our souls so sore bereaved.
The birds were still when swe etheart died;
1t seemed as though they had denied
Themselves their songs, to prove that thcy
Were sorry for our dafkened way.
The flowers all dropped when sweetheart died
1t seemed as they were all allied
In one desire, TO mourn the fate
That left our hearts so desolate.
The trees bent low when sweetheart died;
II seemed, when they swayed side to side
As they were writhing, cen as we
In spirit wrlthed nagony.
II rained all night when sweetheart died;
II seemed as through the saints had cried
Till Heaven o'crflowed, to see how deep
We sorrowed for her dreamless sleep.
The night wind walled when sweetheart died
1t seemed as all the angels sighed
With pity infinite, to hear
The way we sobbed beside her bier.
The world was blank when sweetheart died;
1t seemed as all its JOY and pride
Had suddenly turned dull and gray,
When ,wocthcart's spirit passed away.
