One who has evidently “been there” and knows how it is himself, discourses as follows through the columns of the Utica Herald: ? The annual ceremony of taking up t whipping, and putting down carpets is almost upon us. It is one of the ills Which flesh is beir'to and cannot be avoid* ed. Yon go home some pleasant spring day, at peace with the world, and find the baby with a clean face and get your favo rite pudding for. dinner. Then your wife tells you bow muchyounger you are look, ing, and says she really hopes she can turn .that walking dress she wore last fall, and save the expense of a new .suit, and then she asks you if you can’t just help her about taking up -the carpet. If you are a fool, and yon generally are by that time,'.yon tell her of course you can; Just as well as not. Then.she gets a saucer for the tacks, and stands.and holds it, and then you get the claw and go down on your knees and bfegin to help her. You feel quite economical about the first tbree tacks, aud take them out carefully and put them in the saucer. Your wife is good about bolding the saucer, and be guiles you with an interesting story about how your neighbor’s little boy is not ex peeled to live till morning. Then you come to the tack with a crooked head, and you get ibe claw under it and the bead comes off, and the leather comes off, and the carpet comes off, and as It won’t do to leave the tack in the floor, because it will tear the carpet when it is put down again, you go to work and skin your knuckles, and get a sliver under your thumb nail, aud tell your wife to shut up about that everlasting boy, and make up your mind that it does not make any difference about that tack, and so you begin on the corner where the carpel is doubled two or three times, and has been nailed down with a shingle nail. You don’t care a continental about sav ng the nail, because you find that it is not a good time for the practice of econ omy, but you do feel a little buft w&en both claws break off from tne daw, and the nail does not budge a peg. Then your manhood asserts itself, and you raise in your might, and throw the carpet claw at the dog, and get hold of the carpet with both hands, and the air is full of dust and flying lacks, and there is a fringe of car petyarn all along the mop board, and the baby cries and the cal goes anywhere, anywhere out of the world, and your wifi says you ought to be ashamed of yourself to talk so—but that carpet comes up. Then you lift one side of the stove, and your wife tries to get the carpet from un der it, but can’t because you are standing on it. So you try a new hnld ( and just af ter your back breaks, the carpet is clear. You are not through’yet. Your wife don’t tell you any more little stories, but gets your old coat and shoves you out, and intimates that the carpet needs whip ping. Wbor. yo n hane. the tormeoiln/i thing across the clothes line iuc "■■^^wfltyTantx gel it righted, and have it slide oft into the mud, and hang it up again, anji get half a pint of dust and three broken U*cks snapped out of the northwest corner into your mouth by the wind, you make some observations which you neglected to men- j lion while in the house. Then you hunt | up a stick and go for that carpet. | The first blow hides the sun and all the : fair face of nature behind a cloud ol dust, and, right in the centre of that cloud, with the wind square in your face, no matter bow you stand, you wield that cudgel until both hands are blistered, and the milk of bupaan kindness curdles in your bosom. You can whip the carpet a longer or shorter period, according to the sizi of your mad ; it don’t nuke any d if ference to the carpet, it is just as dusty and fuzzy and disagreeable after you have ! whipped it two hours as it when you com j menced. Then you bundle it up. with one corner dragging, and stumble into the house, and have more trouble with the stove, and fall to find any way of using the carpet stretcher while you stand on the carpel, and fail to find any place to stand off from the carpet, and then you get on your knees again, while your wife holds the saucer, and with blind confidence bands you broken tacks, crooked tacks, tacks with no points, tacks with no heads, tacks with no leathers, tacks with the biggest \ ends at the points. “every Finally the carpet is down and the baby comes back, and the cat comes back, and the d<>g comes back, and your wife smiles sweetly, and says she is glad that job is off her mind. As it is too late to do any thing else, you sit by the fire and smoke, with the inner confidence that you are the meanest man in America. The next day you hear your wife tell a friend that you are so tired ; she took np and put down that great heavy carpet yesterday. The Troy Press has made a startling discovery. It says : “It is believed in Boston that the murderer of the Joyce children is the nephew ola distinguished litterateur ; that he was sent abroad im* mediately after the crime, and that thb influence and wealth of the family *havc prevented any attempt to bring: him’ ’tQ*l justice."
