To clean a house is stll some job.
AS any eye can see,
And ye, 90 amt a hackumstance
10 what Sc used 20 be
When Ma pinned up her Bingham
dress
And Pa took off his blouse
And everybody pitched rieht in
And Went to cleaning house.
The dishes pictures beds and chairs
Soon found themselves outdoors;
Our yard was jest as fun of things
As two compartment stores.
You'd s'pose we fitted pedars out,
The same as Broadway Rouss-
That's how our do0ryard used to look
The day we cleaned the house
The mantel clock 81 licked away
Beneath the Harvey tree;
The Yctuals safe was next the road
And bread and cheese was free,
The hitChing post held ny my brace
OF du conserving grouse,
And Henry Clay stood on his head
The day we cleaned the house
We cracked the family looking glass
A little more each year
But didn't throw it down the bank
For things them days was dear
We glued the whatnot shelves back in
We finished up the s0use,
And burnt q bunch of waX.Works
flowers
Each time we cleaned the house
The clothesliue rocked with quilts
aud mats,
And long the portico,
stood AN the window sash there was
Upstairs and down below,
And every window that was washed
had to go and douse
/ With water that pumped myself,
The day Ve cleaned the house
We scrubbed the chairs and blacke,
the stove
And took The heater Off
And secured the iEon grandpa Trip
Brought back from peicrhof;
rWe each could see the others work
There WASH no chance TO chousC
And sometimes two was mad az ono
3 The day we cleaned the house
The sunday school collection box.

Entirely by herself;
And once she said, or nearly said,

And go away and doctor sheep,

Cultivate Your Aspirations.

Very few people are satisfied with
the work they are doing. Many of
them have aspirations for something
better, more congenial. If you have
any natural leaning toward a higher
grade Of work, says Physical Culture
Magazine, don't strive to put it out Of
your mind, but try to keep it very
much in your mind. 1t may indicate
a field for which you are especially
gifted. If you have any ambitions, cul-
tivate them. 1t is only those who dare
to follow the guiding star of destiny by
encouraging and cultivating these aspi-
rations who ultimately move forward
to their realization.
