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" PRODUCE WANTED. Hamburag, S.
