MAMMA'S HELP.
Yes. Britlet has gone to the city,
Ad J pai is sick, as you sc.
Anil mamma lias no one to help her
But two-year-old" Laurence and nie.
" You'd like to know what I'm good for,
Vept to make work an tumble things. down?
I gues- there aren't no little girls
At your bouse at liame, 1)1, Brown.
" I've brushed all the crumbs from the table.
And dusted the sofa and chairs,
I've polishes! the hearthstone and fender.
And swept off the area tairs.
I've wiped all the silver and china.
And just dropped one piece on the Iljor ;
Yes, doctor, it broke in the middle.
But I 'spect it was cracked before.
"And the steps tlia. I save dear mamma '.
You'd be s' prised, Ir. Brown if yon knew ;
She says if it wasn't for Beane
She couldn't exist the day throueh !
" It's Bessie, bring papa some water !
And ' B if, dear, run to the door !'
And ' Bessie, love, pick up the the playthings
The baby lias dropped on the Moor.
" Yes, doctor, I'm siderably tired
I've been 011 my feet all the day ;
Good-bye! well, irfmj.i I will help you
When your old Bridget goes olf to stay I"
" MY WIFE.'"
" She's a very nice woman, my dear
Mickleberry, a very Dice woman, indeed,
said Mr. Partanbridge, sagely ; " but yon
allow her to dictate too much ! For in
stance, my wife should never tell me not
to Euioke in the parlor on account of the
curtains!" t-
" It does often turn them yellow,"
observed Mr. Miokleberry, thoughtful-
iy.
" Granted but what becomes of your
conjugal Huperioiity? Aod then you
didn't buy that coraer lot becaune slie
advised you not to ! What is a woman's
judgment worth in a matter of business
like that, Mickleberry ?"
" Mary knows more than half the men
going," parenthetically asserted Mickle
berry. " Excuse me, Mickleberry, but you
don't keep her in her place. Don't the
Scriptures espressly say that woman is
the weaker vessel ? I should like to see
Mrs. Partanbridge venturing to opjiope
me."
Mr. Mickleberry looked admiringly at
his big friend.
"How do you manage it, Partan
bridge 7" lie questioned, somewhat tim
idly. "Tact, my dear fellow tact, dignity,
supremacy. I wouldn't have mentioned
it if circumstances hadn't jointed direct
ly to the fact, but you are getting hen
pecked, Mickleljerry. Everylwdy notic
es it, you know. You must assert your
self." Mr. Mickleberry laughed.
" But w hat is the use of asserting my
self?" he a-sked, jocosely. " Everything
goes on like clock-work at home Mary
always meets me with a smile she
spends the money sensibly, and never
has she asked me for an unnecessary
cent."
"Does she tell you how she spends
it ?"
"Xot always, but "
Mr. Partanbridge interrupted his friend
with a groan.
" Oh, these women, these women ! I
I should like to see my wife buying a
silk dress, as Mary did last week, with
out first consulting me 1"
" But she has saveJ the money out of
her housekeeping funds."
" Then, my dear fellow, it's a sign that
you give her too much money for house
keeping. Cut her down draw the purse-
strings a little tighter."
Mr. Mickleberry looked uncomforta
ble. " I I should hardly like to do that,"
Partenbridge."
" You'll never be master in your own
house until you do."
Mr. Moses Mickleberry went home
and told his wife all about what Parten
bridge had said. Mary laughed, then
colored, but she was a tittle angry with
al. " I wish Mr. Partanbridge would mind
Lis own business," said she. "Im tired
of bearing alfout ' my wife.' She must be
a poor, spiritless concern."
" Partanbridge. is a man of great abili
ty," said Moses, gravely.
"Fiddlesticks:" said Mrs. Mickelber
ry. " A regular hen hussy a thorough
going Miss Nancy !"
" I'm sorry you feel so about him, my
dear," said Moses ; " for he doesn't like
the place where he ia boarding now and
I told him he might occupy our spare
room for a few days."
" Oh, I've no objections to that," said
Mrs. Mickleberry, composedly. " I'm al
ways glad to entertain your friends, my
dear, even if they are not the moet
agreeable people in the world, and I dare
say I can get along with Mr. Partanbridge
for a few days."
" You're a little jewel, my dear," said
Moses, and he forgot all Partanbridge's
insinuations at once.
Mr. Partanbridge came, bag and bag
gage, and took ossessiou of the spare
room in the Mickleberry mansion as
importantly as if he had been the Grand
Turk. And thenceforward 'my wife
began, figuratively speaking, to trample
Mary Mickleberry into dust.
" My wife " spent no money ; ' my
wife ' went nowhere ; ' my wife ' would
sooner cut oflf her hand than go to a wo
man's rights convention ; 'my wife was
not literary, but spent her days doing
housework and her evenings mending
stockings. She held her husband in sal
utary awe, never spoke when she wasn t
fcpoken to and in short, she knew her
place."
"And how did you manage it, Par
tanbridge ?" asked Mr. Mickleberry once
again, in the admiration of his soul.
Mr. Partanbridge waved his band
loftily.
Mickleberry !" said he, " there are
some things that can't be expressed in
words."
" Fortunately !" put in Mrs. Mickle
berry who was sewing away as vigorous
ly as if every stitch were an unuttered
protest,
" And," went on Mr. Partanbridge, as
if he had not heard the interruption, " it
is a woman's duty to listen to submit
to keep silence."
" There goes the door bell," observed
Mrs. Mickleberry ; " will you go, Moses?
it is Bridget's evening out."
" My wife," commenced Mr. Tartan-
1 bridge, " would never have asked me to
ESTABLISHED 1827.
WEDNESDAY,
perform any such menial an office as
as"
He stopped short as a loud, mascu
line voice was heard in the entry below
stairs.
" 1 'oes Joe Pantaiibridge board here ?
Xes? Oh, all right tell 'em to bring the
trunks, anl you, hackman a dollar's
enough fare. You'll pet no more out of
me ; clear out, and let's.hear no more of
your grumbling. So he's here, is be ? A
pretty chase I've had after him."
Mrs. Mickleberry looked up at the
blanching countenance of Job Parten
bridge in great surprise and bewilder
ment. " Who can that loud voiced woman
rsjsibly be ?" she asked. Surely there
is some mistake."
"N no!" quoth Mr. Partanbridge,
with t buttering teeth. " It is my my
wife."
"Mrs. Partanbridge? Can it 1 issi
ble ?"
And hospitable little Mary Mickleber
ry dropped her work and hastened to
greet and welcome her new guest, the
paragon among women, the meek and
lowly and w ell-trained wife of thedough
ty Job.
Mrs. Partenbridge came into the room
with the tread of a giant and the asjiect
of an Amazon. She was a tall, large wo
man, red-faced and resolute, with th
faint shads of a mustache on her upper
lip, and n deep voice like that of a grena
dier, and she wore her cloak as if it had
been a man's overcoat, the two sleeves
tied around her neck, while her sailor
hat would have b?en a snug tit for her
huband.
She sat down, at Mrs. Micklelietry's
invitation, with a force that made the
chair crack and tremble in every joint,
and thrust out her feet.
" Pull otr those rubbers," she said to
Job, and the husband promptly went
down on his knees to perform the be
hest. " Xot so rough you're as clumsy
as ever, I see ; and now tell me why
you didn't send the money for me to join
you before ?"
" I couldn't spare it from my business,
Drueill, my dear," stammered Job, grow
ing scarlet.
" Hang up my cloak to dry and get I
me a footstool for my feet," commanded
Mrs. Partanbridge. " look sharp about
it, too ! Well, I "borrowed lifty dollars
from Deacon rnderhill, and I've come
on mv own hook. I'm tired of being
jxiked away in the backwoods while you
ure playing the fine city gent and I'll
not stand it auy longer ; besides, I wan
ted to attend the Woman's Sutfrage As
sociation, and I'm a member of the Sed- j
leyvil'ie Branch of Female liights Advo
cates. You've got a nice house here,
ma'am," turning to Mrs. Mickleberry.
I might have bad a house of my own if
Job Partanbridge had used common
sense in his business affairs and listened
to my ad vino a littU."
" Drusilla, my dear " interposed Mr.
Partanbridge, but his wife darted an an
gry glance at him.
" Job Partanbridge, will you hold your
tongue, and speak when you're spoken
to ?" she demanded, tartly.
" Most certainly, my tiear, moot cer
tainly." " Then let's have a specimen of it. As
1 was saying Job, go down stairs and
look in the big handled basket on top of
the trunk in the hall and get me my
handkerchief and the camphor bottle
with the little wicker case round it as I
was saying, that sort of thing is just

" Yes, dear."
" Bring me the rocking chair now

" Yes, my dear," said Job Partan
bridge.
" And be ready to go with uie to the

" Yes, my dear," asiented the hus

At this stage Mrs. Mickleberry inter
rupted the orders of tie commanding
general of the Partanbrdgw Division by
a tray containing tea, loast, and other
feminine refreshments. Mrs. Partan
bridge received them wi h a contemptu

" My g.xxl lady," said she, " I dare say
you mean well, but I tlm't feed off such

" Yes, Drusilla !"
" (io round to the ntarest restaurant

Awsy went Job Parteibridge, like an

"Take my things up stairs, Job !" said
Mrs. Partanbridge, w hei she had satis

If ever mortal man looked cowed,
wretched and dismal, .bb Partanbridge
did the next morning when he made his
appearance at the breakfast table. Mrs.
Mickleberry could not resist one little
mischievous hit.
" I congratulate you, Mr. Partanbridge,
upon the excellent minner in which
you have developed yoir theories as to

Mr. Partanbridge choked convulsively

" Hush 1" he cried. " Hush ! she ia

" Who is coming ?"
" My wife !"
" Bu', ah ! how differently he pro

JULY 1, 1801.
A Mistake.
Some of James Bennett's friends ad
vised very strongly against his marrying
before his professional income "justified"
it But he ha I been engage 1 1 Mary
Moore two years, and she wan 11 capable
woman, versed in ways of household
thrift and economy, aud be reasoned, as
did she, that "what wac enough fijr one
was enough for two," aud that they
would venture in matrimony without
further delay. Just at this juncture Jane
Seymour, a very dear friend of Mary's
wrote to Mary asking the privilege of
helping the young couple in furnishing
their modest house and boarding with
them by way of remuneration for her in
vestment. It seemed to the youg people
a providential opening, and the accept
ed the offer with gratitude and alacrity.
As Mary had never leen married be
fore, and Jane was single, neither was
aware how utterly two young people
newly wedded are absorbed iu each
other, aud how any third party liecoiiies
not only asuperlluity, but a source of
continual tr able. As jane contributed
8") much to the furnishing of the house
and of the table, of course, she must le
consulted be consulted in all matters per
taining to taste, household management'
an i every thing connected with the con
duct of affairs. She was given the best
room iu the house, of course; she was a
lerpctual guest with the rights of an
owner.
Did James and Mary w ish to take a
walk? Jane could not be left Whind.
Did they wish to call ujKin some iriend?
Jane must go along too. And so it came
to pass that the adjustment of this third
jiarty to the dual unit caiLsed more per
plexity and doubt and questioning and
misunderstanding than did their efforts
at adjustment to each other of a great
deal.
Of course, Jane had her views, as most I
single women not very young have, of
how men should treat their wives, and
she w as not slow to hint at any discovery
of delinquencies on James' part, and to
encourage Mary to insist on her reserved
rights. This didn't help the young couple
in growing nearer to each othet. Their
sense of pecuniary obligation coiujielled
submission to all these inconveniences,
or they thought it did, until at last they
became quite unbearable, and circum
stances occurred which called Jane else
where, they were relieved from further
embarrassment in the matter. At once
they went into narrow quarters, retrench
ed expenses, consulted Dobody but tlieir
two selves, and were happy and solvent.
It would be hard to make either James
ar Mary believe that any circumstances
would induce them to take another T,r
titim ij'ii'l, as James always called Jane,
into their family. The "third something"
will make trouble, w illingly or unwit
tingly, in the life of a newly-wedded pair
and those who try the experiment will
unrely be convinced that such is the fact.

Polish Emigration.
The great event of the year l-'.'O in
Poland was the emigration fever, which
commenced in the spring, and assumed
alarming proportions in July, August
and September. It was stimulated by
agents representing Brazilian emigration
society (according to the British Consul
General of Warsaw) taking advantage of
the ignorance, credulity and superstition
of the Polish peasantry and lower class
generally; they worked among them
with a success which seems almost in
credible, aud inveigled thousands of these
unfortunate beings out of the country to
w hat are described as unheard of suffer
ings. The Consul tieneral cannot state the
number of emigrants, even approximate
ly, but there is no daubt that it was very
considerable, and that in many parts of
Poland whole villages and a very large
proportion of farm laborers placed them
selves in the hands of the emigration
agents and left the country, and did also
a nnnilier of factory hands. At first it
was attributed entirely to the tempta
tions held out by the agents, but it has
since transpired that want of work and
extremely low wages facilitated their
task anions that part of the asricti'tura!
population which does not possess ltnus
of its own, and lives from hand to mouth.
All the reports that have reached Po
land relative to the fate of the emigrants
sbowt hat they are exposed to great hard
ships, both on the journey out and on
landing in the country. Those that have
managed to return tell the most doleful
tales, and the public have become so in
terested in the fate of their unfortunate
countrymen that a subscription has been
got up for the purpose of helping them to
repatriate, and a gentleman of high
standing and independent means has
been appointed to go out to Brazil to as
sist them in doing so with the funds sub
scribed. Notwithstanding all this, the
emigration commenced again about the
middle of March last in certain districts.
It is estimated that one-third of the pop
ulation of the Kutno district has already
gone, and more are on the move.
Bu it is now stated authoritatively
that the Government of Brazil has issued
orders that no more Polish emigrants are
to be allowed to land there, and this will
no doubt, put a stop to the exodus more
effectively than any coercive measures
which could have been applied in Poland
itself.

Loren Trescott and wife are keejers

daughter four years old. Ijtst winter
she was taken down with measles, fol
lowed with a dreadful cough and turning
into fever. Doctors at home and from the
city treated her, but in vain ; ahe grew
worse rapidly, and she was a mere hand
ful of bones. Then she tried Dr. King's
Xew Discovery, and after the use of two
and a half bottles was completely cured.

"Samantha," grumbled Mr. Chugwater,
fumblirg in one of the bureau drawers,
"I'd like to know where, in the name of
common sense, you keep my 60 ks."
"What pair do you want, Josiah?" in
quired Mrs Chugwater.
"Any pair, if they are only mates.
Here's an odd gray sock and an odd
black one, and down here in the corner
is an old pair of last summer's socks,
with holes in the tots. I don't see why
my things can't be kept in order the
same as other men's,
"If you had only told me "
"Tol I you ! Have I g't to run to you.
Mrs. Chugwater, for every little thing I
want ? Is that your idea alxut the way
to carry on the household business? If
you'd just take trouble enough to pile
things in here so I can find them when
I want them it would save me lots of
bother."
"Josiah, if you will let me"
"Now, there's no use of your getting
excited about this thing. If you know
where I can get a pair of half-way decent
socks just say so, and I'll hunt them up ;
aud if you don't know, and will have the
kindness to put the fact in plain English,
I'll go out and buy a pair. That's all."
"If you hadn't tumbled these things
all out of shape, Josiah "
"Tumbled them out of shape, have I ?
What's a bureau drawer for, anyway ?
Is it to hide things in, madam? If I
don't find what I want on top, haven't I
got to lixik down nnderj'd l.ke to know .'
Any woman that will ntck and jam a
bureau drawer so full of things and ar
range them so you've got to dig and daw
through the whole busines to get what
you arc after and then don't get it hasn't
got the right idea about arranging a
man's haberdashery. If you know where
my socks are, Mrs. Chugwater, w hy don't
you say so, instead of standing around
like a stoughton bottle and doing noth
ing?" "I could have found them for you in a
minute and saved you all this trouble if
you had given me a chance," said Mrs.
Chugwater, as she straightened out the
tangle in the drawer and brought to view
from one of the lottom corners live pairs
of clean socks.
'"When you want anything of this kind
hereafter, Joeiah, if you will only let me
know "
"The trouble with you, Sauiar.tha,"'
growled Mr. Chugwater, as he jerked a
jKiir from the top of the pile and went
olf to one corner to put them on, "is that
you talk too much."
Should a Girl Hesitate?
A young girl, attractive though nr-t
pretty, bright and witty, well read and
well bred, whom I love dearly, asked me
the other day what I thought was wom
an's sweetest iiour.
I have since then discovered her reason
for asking the question.
She anticipated my answer with the
preface that she thought it was when,
having brought the man of her choice to
the point of projiosing, she keej.s him
waiting a few moments for her answer,
regarding the nature of which she h.u
given no inkling so strong as to make it
certain that it will lie "Yes,"
I am also a young girl, three years her
senior. I have not yet experienced that
"sweet hour" not, at least, from a wel
come source. Still I can we!l understand
that to see and feel the anxiety of one's
lover, aud to know that it is all caused
by love for you, should constitute un
bounded happiness.
Yet my friend's idea strikes me as
somewhat insincere and a trille cruel.
Were I ever called upon to answer the
most important question of my life, pro
pounded by the man of my heart, I
would find keener joy in unhesitatingly
saying "yes"' than to feign a doubtfalnesj
that I did not fell.
A little beating about the bush at the
outset is perhaps proper enough, but
when you have assured yourself that you
are dealing with an honest man that
loves you, I think that all pirrying and
diplomacy had better be supplanted by
frankness and sincerity. I think the
honorable wooer entitled to as much in
formation as he has imparted to his
sweetheart. -V. 1". lumhl.
Wonderful Changes.
In one of the Xew England states there
is a quiet little country town whither the
railroad has not penetrated, in which no
new house has been built for nearly a
quarter of a centary, while the place has
fewer inhabitants than it had fifty years
ago.
The oldest inhabitant is a man ninety
years of age, w hose w hole life has been
passed iu this, the town of his birth. He
still lives in the house where he was
born.
A stranger from a distant city was in
conversation with this aged citizen one
day, when the old gentleman said :
" Y. s, sir ; I've lived right here in this
village ninety years. I've seen wonder
ful changes in that time, sir wonderful
changes, I tell ye, the place is going
right ahead."
"In what way?" asked the stranger,
looking up and down the deserted road
for some indication of this wo?derful
progress.
" In what way ?" repeated the old gen
tleman. "Why, in different ways. I
can remember the time we didn't have
but one store here, and now we've got
two and a meat 6hop, and there's talk of
a millinery woman coming in here. Yes,
sir ! And we've got ten street lamps and
a four hundred dollar organ in the
church, and a aood half mile of side
walks, all within my recollection. Won
derful changes going on all the time. I
tell you, this is the age of progress !"

Lamp Shades and How to Make
Them.
Although there is a tendency to run
rather too nun h to "millinery" in the
pn .-cut fashion of adorning lamp:, there
is no quc.-tion but colored shades add
greatly to the effect of a room. Xow
thut tissue paper is used .so much in their
cotistructic.il they are within the means
of almo.-t every one. 1'or a large banquet-shade
thirty-six sheets of trench
tissue piptr are required if the shad has
three skirts, and twenty-four if only two
ir.. used. The sheets shoul 1 le pasted
together in threes, U:i i when thoroughly
dry should be druwu through the bands
and tightly pres,-e.l to give the crejied
appearance, in which so much of their
beauty consists. This is rather a slow
prwse, but many hands makes light
work in this as in other things.
When finished pu;c four crinkled
pieces together, making a round skirt of
tw eive sheets of pajier. After three skirts
have been joined in this w;;y, arrange
them one over the other, the dcei-s.t on
the outside and the palest nex-. the light,
and secure them V a wire fra-ne 1 which
comes for the purpose, with a stout rub
ber band. Leave live or six inches at
the top for a ruche, and distribute the
fulness as evenly as possible. Then, after
tying secur!v" with a string or ril.lK'n,
remove the bui.d. Thu entire depth of
this shade, including the ruche at the
top, should !-i.hout twenty-three inches,
and it will be found necessary to cut off
some of the p.ij-r U-f..re iluting the
edge. All this should be done with
the wire frame placed in ptjsition on the
lamp, as it would le iiiij.-slb!e; to man
age anything so unwieldy in any other
way.
Now comes the arti-tie part, and 3eft
tlr gers can add many touches here and
there which conduce greatly to the effect.
Each skirt should ! run through the
tirgers at its lower edge and the crinkles
pulled out to irive a milled appearance.
The ton should treated ia the same
way. and pulled down to hide the string
with which it :s tied. .This forms a
thick rr-.che, and the whole, i:" proi-r"y
made, has 1:1 ti the ap'vr.iuce of an
immense ;!owtr.
The prettiest combination is forraed by
Using three tones of y liow i:; real jon
quil coiois, an i as the lluting .'t the low
er edge has mill h the l.w k oi" the cup of
a jor.qtiil.it i' m,t difficult to imagine
this yellow sha le a giint c imitation of
that lovely bl. issnru.
Another good combination consists of
two skirts of r-v-pink, with a pale
yellow -green fi. r lining, and th. sha le is
fully as beautiful in thedaytiaie as when
the lamp is lighted at night.
Kor a very cosily and richly decorated
lamp a silk and laee trimmed shade may
Le used. In ir.akin.; these the lining
should b cut in sections and put on '.ike
the cover of an umbrella, except that the
seams are on top. After this is fastened
to trie wire frame the ouL-Me cover is
;.'t on. This is made by sewing several
straight breadths of siik t. gether, allow
ing dentil enough to 'nave a double riche
of the or six inches at the top. .vi.irr
several times before fastening to the
frame, and arrange the fullness at the
bottom either in plaits or gathers. East
en a frayed or j inked ru:i!" of the silk
a'.tout six inches deep to the lower edgf,
and over this place a fall of lace of equal
depth. This silk rutile is :ti!ijrtant, as
the glare of the light through the white
laee is very unpleasant, A frame made
of as'.H-stos p iper, which was patented in

Wild Geese and Electric Lights.
The night was still and dark, and as
the birds ilew over the city some of the
geese would get bewildered by the bright
light of the electric lamps and circle
round and round the light, squawking as
ifl.st. The ducks do not seem to ere
for the excitement of city life and go
quietly on their war, but a gise is so
supremely curij'is that he can hardly
pass ane'e -trie light without living round
and exatnlnlrg it.
Abitittw j years ago there was a ter
rific thunder storm, during which a il.K'k
of geese, nnmlsring probably 'JtW, enter
ed the city and soon became bewildered
by the storm. Smie of them, it said,
even lit on the roofs c.f houses, but cer
tain it is that at half-past 4 or " in the
morning there was a great Hock of geese
sitting in the li'ht of the arc lamp, cn
the corner of Main an 1 Lir.-t streets, in
the center of the tjvvn. This, of course,
is an exceptional ras and wo u!d proba

Norwegian Razors.
I have nice specimens of N orwegian
cutlery, but not until a few day ago did
I know that the in ventive Norseman had
marched before us in razors. A friend
who has been traveling hard for two
whole years came to stay w ith me, and he
exhibited the most beautiful pair cf these
toilet tsjls I ever saw, of very highly
polished Bessemer steel, simple and sci
entific, being merely thin, flat blades of
metal inserted in grooves of thicker stuff.
The agent warrants their edge to stand
three months, when the razors must be
sent to him, dismounted and sharpened,
having to le removed from the grooved
back to uo so. Ghar.trey, the sculptor,
made a razor of hard bronze, with a keen
and effective edge, and there are relics of
Pompeii manufactured in that alloy.
