Mrs. Arp Imd an uncommon good
breakfast tliis mnrnicg. Tliere was a
disli of baked eggs at my plate, which
she knows I mn thud of. \Vlull!the hou. 1 *
was being cleaned up I noticed that the
beds were not touched, and so I t dd her
1, would help but she said no ehe wanted
them taken on on the piazza to sun, and
so 1 took 'etn-out, end then she a.-ked
me to take out the bedsteads and the
bureau an 1 the chairs nud the sewing
machine mid all, ns she wanted to clean
up aJLtle. Cleaning up u lilt e Ih the
old* old story at my house. IV hen I got

with my pipe to rum.uateu little and rest
from my arduous labors. Pretty soon
she Irought me a broom and a rake and
a twine string, uud usk''d me to lie The
broom hand c onto the rake forsho \V.iut-
ed to sweep down the cob webs from fhe
wails. I understood all (bat, and so I

would be vending consternation through
BO many families, and would certainly
call fo.th (lie flaming pens of thunder up
on us, and would receive such a blow as
would mule us howl for years to c>mc.
Fo we repeat it, this article is written for
the people “way over youdAv.”
Wc have often wondered why people
lend so ready and attentive car to the sto
ries of tbu disreputable cLss, nnd yet
ft range to say, that this class never lack
tor listener*. But wc think we have at
biit fraud the reasoas why this c’uss is so
popular. Reason No. 1. There ft somc-
thibg in ottr fallen and depraved hearts
that tore* to gather around the very cess
pools of iniquity and lap (he blood of
imputation. Reason No. 2. There is a
cenain charm about these deadly walk
ing “Upases’' that like thceharin of the
rattle'Miake whr:b they throw over their
victims and completely capterrc them.—
We give the foDowing incident, reported
some yean ago in a newspaper, as illus
trating the feariul havoc of these merci-
Urn bipeds. A aorthy county farmer
who bad lived for years in domest e fe
ll.-Hy and who waa thought to be above
reproach, allowed his name to go before
I be people for an oilier, and us cmdi
dates usually do, took a flying trip over
bia county to aw bit friends and to ox-
t- od bis acquaintance. In the meantime
a whole tribe of these scandal-mongers'
commenced dogging his heels. Disgust
«d, humiliated and out of all patieiwe,
l>« hufriod hows, sad addressing his
pond wife, said; “OM lady, joa must

on the bniiaisteM, ‘sho brought out a
hammer and a p iper of carpet tacks nud

ed me of the carpet that she had been

has to hear 5 it! t£a-4»yffe|>g The front

plenty of flowers and evergi ecus, mid th

it is putting down a carpet. I can’t
double up and twist around like J used
to. I gave an involuntary groan and a
grunt or two and went to work. A little
dirttey had already brought up a passel
of imv from the barn, and so we picked
it all over and got out all the little weeds
and coarser pieces and spicad it nicely
upon the floor, and then I unrolled the
carpet from the middle each way and
went to work on one side nai iug it. It
had to be stretched and filled all around
and the edge oil the hearth was (he hard
est (-fall, for Mrs. Arp watched every
tack uud if it was a fraction of an inch
out ofiine she sow it and 1 hud to keep
pulling and turning under the edges, and
when 1 was on it ! couldn’t pull it and 1
couldn’t get off it fur the wall, uud so it
was get-up and get down anft woffc side
ways and cross ways, and all sorts of
ways, and l masked my fingers and
crumped my luces and twisted off my
suspender buttons, but finally the work
was done to her satisfaction sorter, and I
managed to get up and stand up and be
thankful to the Lord for his mercies,—
By the time we got all tho. furniture' set
buck again and the beds made up the day
was half gone and the children came
home from school and forgot to wipe
their feet at (he door aed the dogs tub

There is a power of comfort ir. having
some new thing occasionally—new rur-
tiiins, n now cirpet, a now lump, new
clothes, new chair*, a new s6w4ng tnn-
i bine, or a new stove to cook on—it won't
no h r things L* hi>t ton l< mj. Wc get
tired of ’am. We get tin d of seeing the
furniture in the same places in a room
and it ij a relief to move the bed to an
other corner and the bureau to the other
side. Even the land we cultivate win s
a change of crops i-nd lhe stock wants a
change of diet. The birds and the beasts
change their haunts, churches change
their preachers uud people thinge their
rulers, and-some folk* would change their
wives if they could. I don’t bel eve Th
