Some women, «*n the South £i<lo,
have taken to the business of steal in g
children. This is the fault nf their
husbands. It is a case in which, if
there was a proper amount of home
industry cultivated, there would he
no need of restoring to imports.— Chi

THE iil-SJAN D WHO WAS TO MIND
THE HOUSE.
Once upon a time there was a man
so surly aid cross. l»e never thought
hi 9 wife <id .anything right in the
house. S* one evening, in hay mak
ing time, he cmiehome, scolding and
swearing, ind showing his t elh and
making a lust.
‘■Thar love, don’t be ro angry;
there’s a goad mm, said his good y,
•to-inorrov let’s change our work,
m go out with the mowers and mow
and yru shall mind the house at
home,’
Yes husband thought, that
would* do very well, lie was quite
willing.
So, earlv next morning, his i?oodv
took a B.yvthe over her neck, and
went out into the hay field with the
mowers, and began to mow, but the
man was to mint! the house and do
the woik at home.
First of all, he wanted to churn
’h • butter, but when ho had eburned
awhile, he got thirsty, and went
down the cellar to tap a barrel of
ale. So. just when he had knocked
in the hung and was putting the tap
into the eask. lie Ivanl overhead the
pig come into the kitchen. Then oft
he ran up the color steps with the
tap in Ids hand, as fast as he could
to look after the pig, lest Ire upset the
churn ; but wlun l e got up, and saw
that the pig had already knocked the
churn over, and stood tlnr.*, routing
and grunting amongst the cream,
wh c i wasrunTrnjr all over the fl 'or.
he was so wild with rage that he quite
forgot the ale barrel, and ran at t e
pig hard as he could. Hu caught it
ju tas it ran out f(h ors, ad gave
it such a kick that p gey lay for dead
oi th i spot. Then all at once he re
membered 1m had the tap in his hand,
but when he £«>t to the cello*, every
and op of the ale had run cu; of the
ca>k.
Toon lie went to the dairv and
found enough creatn left to fi 1 tin
churn again, and so he beiran to
churn, for but they must have at din
ner. When lie had churned a. bit, he
remembered that their milking cow
was still shut up in ’-he bars, and
hadn’t a bit to eat or a drop to drink
all the rnorninir, though the sun was
i./
Then all at once he thought
’twas too far to take her down to the
meadow, so he’d just get her on tin*
house top —for the house, you must
know', was thatched with smls and a
. fine crop of grass was growing there
Now these houses lay close up against
a steep down, nd he thought, if he
had laid a plank across to the thalcli
at tlte back 'he’d easily get the cow
up.
But still he couldn’t • leave the
chum, for there was his little babe
crawling about on the -floor, and k *il
I leave it,” thought Ik*, the child is
sure to upset it. So he took the
churn on li is back and went on with
i f ; but then lie thought better first
water flu* cow* b foie lie turned hei
out on the thatch, so he took up a
bu> ket of drawn water out of the
well ; but as he stooped down at th*
well’s brink, all the cream ran out ol
the churn over bis shoulder and so
down into the well.
Now it was near dinner-time and
he hadn’t even got the butter yet:
so he thought he’d best boil the por
ridge, and fill the pot with water and
hmg it over the fie. W' ci he had
done that be ill ug’it t iut the cow
might p 1 haps fall off the thatch and
break her legs or neck. So be got on
the huuse to tie her up. One end ot
the rope lie made fast to the caws
neck, and the other sipped down the
chimney and id ur u and his own
thigh, and he had to m.tKe haste, for
the water now begin to boil in the
pot, and he had still to bring the oat
me il.
So he. began to grind a wav, bu
while he was hard at it. down full the
cow off the house top after aid, and
as she fell sh ‘ dtagged the man up
the chimney by the rope. There he
stuck fast; and as for the cow, she
hung half way down the wall, swing
ing between heaven a:id earth, for she
cuu and neither ge* up nor down.
And now tin; gowdy had waited
seven lengths anrd seven breaths for
her husband to cat! her borne to din*
fieri, but never a caT she had. At
iast she thought she and waited long
enough, and went home. LL*t wien
she -ot there she *«aw the cow bung
ing ii such an ugly place, she ran up
aid <u: the r pe it two with her
sevihe. But as she did this down
came her husband ou of the chimney ;
and so wh*. n hisgdti dame came inside
the kitchen, there she f mud' him
standing on his head in the porridge
pot.

1 LOVE YOU.
A tired w m a i 1 u lied to sleep her
babe. Beauty once made her face
rad ant, perhaps, but nil that beauty I
i« gone n'\v. The blue eye is dim j
and faded—the pule bn w is covered j
wi h lines of core. Perhaps v.i h
that far off look of hers, she
three little graves, green with ns
many summers. lit r home is Very
h iinb’e —all day she has toiled and
the fainting sgirit almost surremh rs
to fatigue, the down-cast eyes trem
bling vvitn tears —she is so weary.
And every nerve tingles when the
l 0/3 come hungry IYo n f chool, sorn *
with" a talc of sorrow that mother
must hear.
And after they were hushed with
kisses or eludings, it is to.get suppei
for seven cuugry mouths, and the ac
customed never endings of putting
away and cleaning up, till the worn
out won ters with a sigh if there real
ly will come a rest fur her—an etern
al rest.
At last she can scat her weary
