has actually been worn out by house
management. There are thousand
martyrs of the kitchen. 1t is very an

table, or III the nursery or parlor, TO

are one, your interests are one, your
losses are one; lay hold OF the work of
life with both hands. -Four hands to

Here are Il man and wife; they

they will have II home. They will have
Il splendid house, and they think that
if they have house they will have n
home. Architects make the plan, and
the mechanics execute it; the house to
cost 100000. 1t is done. The carpets
are spread; tae lights are hoisted;
curtains are hung; cards of invitation
sent out. The horses in gold plated
harness prance at the gate; guests
come in and take their places: the
flute sounds; the dancers go up and
down; and with one grand whirl the
wealth and the fashion and the mirth
of the great town wheel amid the
pictured walls. lla, this Is happiness.
Float it in the smoking vinnds; sound
it in the music; whrl it in the dance:
east it in the SNOW Of sculpture: sound
il M the brilliant stairway; flash il in
the chadcliers. Happiness, indeed!
Let MS build on the center of the par

the guests, when come in, bring their
flowers and pearls and diamonds, and
throw them on this pyramid, and let
il be a throne: and then let IIappi-
