(t • re continued ) 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 cago Timet, 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. Imprudence. —i/remising your dec* tor a legacy. 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 1 mbs n the old tor n r rocking ch r llie bibc\ whose eyes close titiuliv t<» low lullaby, lies in her Ether's lip. He is a plain man, but a good fath.r with an honest lace and great In art. at would take in all the care and sorrow of the household. The baby sleeps. \Y rib a rude gentleness lie 1 iys it on its mother’s oosom, and as tlu* ruddy fire-ligh plays over her careworn features, he looks upon her with eyes suddenly gown lustrous and beautiful. He. lifts his great hand softly till it rests <>n her shoulders, as he says: “1 love you, dear Mary!” liow tiie pour heart leaps into love, light and rest. How vanish tie “cares that trod upon her weary soul I She no more remembers the toilsoun washing. She reflects not now that the pretty babe with Hushed cheeks against h r breast has worn tioee threadbare with its constant tears and unrest. »S lie forgets that the li e would smoke, the broth burn, that the children teased her, that the clothe* line broke and tlut ev* r. limb in her frame ached with fatigue What Were those in comparison with the steadfast love that had burn ed for eighteen years, in the sunlight >f happiness, through the clouds ol lospair. when beauty made her win ning, and when her charms of loveli ness had gone and freshness of you h aad departed forgvej ? What eared she for auglit outside her home though die had many sorrows, while such words thrilled her whole being, ‘*l love you, dear •Mary !” FEU fILIZKiiSj.
