THE PERPLXEMn HOUSEKREPER.
BY MRS. F. D. GAGE.
I wish I had a dozen pa'r
Of hands this very minute;
I'll soon put all things to rights
The very deuce is in it!
Here's a big washing to be done,
One pair of hands to do it;
Sheets, shirts and stockings, coats and pants,
low will I e'er get .broug it!
Dinner to get for six or more,
No loaf left o'er from Sunday;
-A .baby cross as he can live
Ile's always so on Monday.
And there'.s the cream, 'tis getting sour,
And must forthwith be clurainag,
And here's Bob wants a button on
Which way shall I be turning?
'is time the meat was in the pot, a
The breaa was worked for baking.
The clothes were taken from the buil
Oh, dear ! the baby's waking.
Ilush, baby dear! there, hush-ah-alh!
I wish he'd sleep a little,
Till I could run and get some wood
To hurry up the kittle.
Oh, dear! if P--ones home,
And finds things insths pother,
He'll just begin to tell me all
About his tidy mother 1,
How nice her kitchen us-td to be,
IHer dinner always ready
Exactly when the town bell rung
Hush, hush! dear little Freddy.
And then will come some hasty wor:1,
Right out before I'm thinking
They say that hasty words from wives
Set sober men to drink'ag.
Now isn't that a great idea,
That men should take to sinning,
Because a weary, half-sick wife
Can't always smile so Winning.
When I was young I used to earn
hly living without trouble,
Iad clothes and pocket money, too,.
And hours of leisure double.
I never dreamed of such a fate,
When I, a-las! was courted
Wife, mother, nurse, seaintress, cook, house
keeper, chaimbermaid, laundress, dairy woman
and scrub generally-duing the work of six
For the sake of bein.. supported:
II0'rTO GET RID OF RATS.
There is a public house on the St. John
called Rat Tavern. The name originated
thus. An American was travelling up the
river during a thaw in winter, when snow
and water were nearly knee deep. Late
in the afternoon he came to this tavern.
cold, wet and hungry, and called for dinner.
He was told rather roughly by the landlord
that the dinner hour had passed, and he
must wait till tea. Hie then asked for a cold
lunch, as he was tfaint and hungry. After
some grumbling this wtas brought on. The
stranger ate and asked for his bill.
"Fifty cents," was the reply, in a growl.
ing tonew" Dinner is a quarter, but a lunch
is out of season, and you must pay fifty
The traveller paid the bill, and sat dowan
to~ dry himself. Soon a cheese was brought
in by the maid very much multilated by the
rats. TIhe whole race of ratts received .
volley of ahuse from the enraged landlord.
"And whly do you keep rats," said the
Yankee, " I can give you a recipe that I
can warrant you will keep every rat away."
" Ah! and how much will you charge C"
"0O, about fifty cents."
The landlord, somewhat complaceent, re
turned the half dollar, and " now," said lie,
" for the receipe."
" Well, sir," said the Yan~kee, " whenever
a rat comes to your heniso cold, wet, and
hungry, give himi a cold lunch and cebargi
him half a dollar, and I'll be bound he'll
niever come again."
IREAL LIFE.-" Well, wife, has the paper
come yet ?" " Yes, husband, and a hill came
with it for onie vear's subscrip'tion." " Ahiem!"
"Well, what kiind of a paper Hav-e they got
to-day, hey, pretty tolerable-aniy thuin.
newv ?" " Oh! yes, got a glorious patper !
It's chock full of shoekinag accidents, elope
mnents, robberies, and murders and suicides,
and homicides, and paricides, aind-ad
and besides there is a good love story on
the first page, and a lot of deaths and mian
ringes. I've read it through and through.
Shall .1 go and fetch it for you ?"' "Never
mind now w'ife-but whiat did you say in'
the first instance a bill came with?'" " Yes.
husband, a bill, it is in the upper drawer ?'
"That is the amost imaportant item in the pa
per, wife-Ill sit right down and forward
the money and thsen [Ill read the paper."
Puuosorur.-" First class in Oriental
philosophy will stand up. Tib~bets, what is
life ?"
" Life consists of money, a horse, and at
fashioniable wife."
"Good! Next: What is death ?"
" A paymaster who settles everybody's
debts, and gives them tombstones as receipts
in full of all dlemands."
" What is poverty ?"
The reward of merit Genius generally re
ceives From a discriminating p)ublie.'
"What is religion ?"
" Doing unto ethers jnst as you please,
without allowing thema a return of the com
pliment."
"What is fame ?"
"A six line puff in a newspaper wh ile
living, and your fortune to your enemies
when dead."
AML'sxya.-A late writer on kiising very
properly remarks that the abominable fasha
ion of ladies kissing each other is a piece of
wonton and unprovoked cruelty; a sheer
waste of Heaven's good gift-a miserabale
frittering away of what was designed for
better purposes. It is absolutely wicked,
and ninety-nine cases in a htindred, it is
done for no other purpose than to annoy
and make wretched the poor things who
stand with their hats in their hands, and
dare not so much as openi their wate ring
mouths for fear of slobbering their bosoms.
-' MoTHER, I should not lhe surprised if
ur Susan got choked some day."
" Why, my son ?
" Because her beau twisted his arm
around her neck the other night, and if she
had not kissed him be would have strangled
her; besides, mother, be sits by her-, and
whispers to her, and hugs her."
" Why, Edward, Susan does not suffer,
that does she ?" -
"Susfer that-golly ! she loves it."
How -rO SWEETEN FoLITUDE.-ghut up
a boy in a cellar, and give him free access
o the molasses cask.
A DAREY's DEciRrioT1 OF. AN ELE
PInANT.-Him be as big as a heystack on
four wharf-liles, wid a head like a flour bar.
reI, wid a side of sole-ledder flappen on
each side ob it, and a nose six feet long, a
squirmin' round like de Inginrubber hose,
and a couple of teef stickin' out ob de
motif like two barber*poles a stiikin' out
of a basement barber shop.
When him walk him roll from side to side
like a saylor man jis landed; an' I 'spect do
reason am 'cause him feet am berry tender,
for him got cortis on all him toes. Him
feet am shiped something like a cullnd mal's
only broarder, but like de darkey's de hollor
ob it makes a hole in do ground.
When hin war made, it seem to me dat
him stood on four ob dent wharf-piles, and
den pile on all de meat dey could pile on.
Den dey mate a graby ob sand stones, gut
ta persha, brown dust, molassus an' grey
dag, an' pour it all ober de flesh an' dare
luff it Siry. Wen dey come to do tail de
stuff gib out, and dey had to cut it short!
A gentleman proverbial for his gallantry,
havimg occasion to ask a lady to pass him
the snuffers, thus addressed her: " Most.
beautiful, charming, and accomplished lady,
by an undeserved condesccnsion of your
infinite goodness, extend to your most ob
sequious, devoted, and very humble servant,
that pair of ignipotent digests, in order that
I may exasperate the excresences of this
nocturnal cylindric luminary, and thus cause
the refulgent brightness of its resplendent
brilliancy to dazzle the visiou of our ocular
organs more perfectly."
WIrAT ITTLE CHIIDREN GET AT
ScuooL.-A bevy of little children were
telling their father what they got at school.
The eldest got grammar, geography, arith.
metic, etc. The next got reading, spelling,
and definitions. " And what do you get
my little soldier ?" said the father to a rosy
cheeked little fellow, who was at that mo.
ment slily driving a ten-penny nall into a
door panel. " Me ? oh, I gets reading,
spelling, and spankings."
A CitowiNa HEN.-Rev. Mr. McClure,
an eccentric but talented man, when settled
at Malden, once-fgove out this notice, to the
astonishment of the grave, and the glee of
the many in his congregattion, " I am re
quested to give notice that on Monday night,
an old hen will attempt to crow like a cnck
at the Town Hall ; and all who would lile
to hear her will attend." The thunderstruck
eonregation learned afterwards that Miss
Lucy Stone would speak on woman's rights
at the Town Hall on the night mentioned.
lx a chancery suit, ote of the counsel
desciihzing the boundaries of his client's
lands, said, in showing the plan of it, " We
lie on this side." The opposite counsel
then said, " and we lie on that side." The
chancellor with a good-humored grin, ob.
served, " If you lie on both sides, whom
will ye have me believe ?"
War is a cowardly soldlier like butter ?
Because he is sure to run when exposed to
fire.
A gentlem:tn in the spring time of life,
when walking with a lady, stumbled andl
fell. On his resuming his perpendicular, the
ladly remarked she " wvas sorry for his uni
fortunate fanz pas." " I didin't hurt my
fore pawts," said he, "I only barked my
knees"
