All Creation out of Joint.
BV MRS. D. M. F. WALKER.
Creak, creak, creak ■ enough to set one’s teeth
on edge. Do give us some oil. Cream from the
milk of human kindness is very good to oil the
joints of all creation.
Strange, bow out of gear some people contrive
to keep themselves. \\ by don’t those with whom
they associate oil them a little?
Jldre conies a man down street, looking as if
his lingers were pinched in a thumb-screw.
“What is the matter, Mr. Scowlwell?”
“ Matter enough. I wish my wife would attend
to her own domestic concerns ; that lazy careless
cook must always burn everything up! Bit a hard
crust into my old coiilouuded rotten tooth, and it
has ached ever since.”
My dear friend, step into the dentist’s and get
your rooth repaired ; then go home, tell vour wile
if she has not time i superintend the dinners till
the cook learns how, you w ill hire the sew iiig done.
Call ytiur cook, tell her il she will never burn an
other loaf of bread in the cooking, yon will add a
quarter ol a dollar a week to her wages.
Dopeiid .upon it, this oil will makefile wheels in
the kitchen run smoothly, and put everything into
joint. * °
Slam, bang, thrash! Don’t break that door
knob off, or upset, or tip the baby over, Mr. Furi
ous, because something has gone wrong m the
office to-day. A little more patience will oil the
joints ol all your clerks, make the doors of your
own house shut more easily, aud keep the baby
good-natured.
Ilaik ! Judging from the noise, we should think
something else besides all creation had got out of
joins. - ° -
Slap, slap slap! “There, now I guess you have
got a goo a spanking! I’ll shake your gizzard out
if you don’t slop crying. Hold yous tongue, I Say,
this minute.” “ Yaw, yam ! 800-hoo, boo-hoo !”
Flap, slap, again, lleallv, this joint seems to be
amaking rusty. Let's see if we can nptoil it and
put it in- good running order. “Come here, dear—
uhai is the matter ? Poor child, you are half sick
with a cold ; von.shall be Itathedand put in a warm
bed w ithout any supper. In the morning toil will
be all in joint.”
“ Baby, what ails you ? Now that pin is removed,
and you have room to breathe, I think you will
feel better. Whe if you get rested from the ‘spank
ing, you will go to sleep and awake quite oiled.”
1 be method of treating children with alterative
doses ol “spanks” and candy is not well calculated
to keep them iu joint, the- milk ©f mother’s
kindues lias been known to do wonderftl cures in
this direction. • - *
When will the world learn to oil the joints of all
creation with kinduess ? Then poverty would not
play such .screeching, strains iu the ears
ot poor widows and children. Then we shall not
See so many still’ wooden-legged wills, so many
consciences limpisg along on cratches, and so
many men and women who are all elbows!
