Ebc's a busy little housewife.
It is true beyond a doubt.
For with light and nimble fcotxteps
All tbe day she moves about ;
In the cellar or the garret
You will pod her if you look
In the parlir or tbe kitchen
For she dearly Loves to cook.
It is not her vain ambition
In six-let y toshine.
And gay balls and entertainments
Are nut strictly in her line ;
But she likes to have things tidy,
And quite free from odds and ends.
And with special dainty dishes
Loves to entertain her friends.
She ia sweeping or she's dusting.
Making beds or getting meats.
Unmistakably reveals ;
And you'll seblom find her sitting
With a needle or a bock.
For she's sneh a busy h.awlfe.
And would rather sweep or cook.
Some will chouse a wife for beauty.
While still otbrrsare inclined
To mate with thine who manifest
A wite and studious mind.
But Reuben turned from such as these
With scornful gajse, and took
The prise, he thonght a housewife good
And a jewel of a cook.
JACKS MOTHER-IN-LAW.
" Two new engag? roents," announced
young Glitterby, of the Diamond Club.
" What is tbe first one?" asked some-
lxxiT.
" Fannie Firefly- and Fred Flapwings."
Everybody laughed.
" What is the second V
" Jack St John and Mary Breton."
Before any one had time to reply the
door swung on ita hinges and fine-looking
young man entered.
S"by is everybody looking at me V
he demanded, smiling, his sparkling eyes
taking in the situation, as he settled
amongst them. " What am I suspected
of stealing spoons 7"
No use, Jack, said Glitterby. " It's
all out n
u What V
" Your engagement to Miss Breton."
" You don't say so !"
" What ! You don't deny itr
" No, I don't deny it," he said. " I'm
a little taken by surprise; that is all. I
did not know that it was out."
" We're all saying it's a very nice
thief, you know," said Glitterby.
Yes," and Yes we were," continued
McAllister and Van Tivia.
Well, I think so," answered Jack,
contentedly.
No one, of course, supposed that he
would have the bad taste to comment
urther on the matter. He certainly did
rnot Some of the younger ones looked
at him a little enviously when he went
early, for Mary Breton was the most
beautiful girl of their set.
As they had suppotted, he went straight
to the Breton mansion, and was ushered
lutO tne parior. hj cumn mi iuuui
with an exclamation of pleasure.
" I didn't know you were coming up
to-night, Jack," she said. " What do
you think Mother has come home!
and you know we did not expect her for
another month."
The two pairs of bright eyes met in
quiringly.
Yea, Jack," smiled Miry. "She
knows."
" What did she say ?"
" She has aid nothing yet. Mother is
i so well, moderate, you know."
"Perhaps she will think you too young.
But it is only an engagement as yet. How
is your father ?"
" Very much better."
Mrs. Breton had returned from a win
ter in the south af France, with her inva
lid h unbend, and found her only child
engaged. Tbe young girl had thought
she was right, otherwise she would have
waited , bat since his coming of age Jack
SL John had been pronounced tbe most
eligible parti in her set. Many of her
girl friends would have accepted him to
the delight of tbeir parents.
Mrs. Breton was too fatigued to be
seen that night, but the next morning
Jack went up to pay his respects.
A little woman in black, with a sweet,
wise face, came forward to meet Jack,
saying, " 1 can give you nan an nour, .Mr.
Si. John ; my husband isstiil very weak
and needs me."
Something in her tone troubled Jack a
little as they went into the library.
It troubled him still more when she
had seated herself, and turned her face
silently npon him.
Mary she has told you that I hare
offered myself to her and that she has ac
cepted me," she began.
lea, Mary has told me. But my
dauebter is not of age," she said, at
length.
I do not urge marriage immediately,
Mrs. Breton," began Jack.
I cannot consider marriage at all, Mr
St John," said Mrs. Breton, to Jack's un
bounded astonishment " My only child
is all I hxve, Tbe physicians aware me
that my husband's life hangs by a thread
and thatanr hour may sever it I have
spent many toilsome years in rearing my
daughter from a delicate infant. On her
ban gs all my future happiness."
" You dislike me V exclaimed Jack
" Not in tbe least But in giving my
daughter into the care of another, in pro-
Tiding for her fu'ure welfare, In deter
mining what must be for the happiness or
unhappiness of her life, I cannot accept
for ber a a man all untried as you are,
Mr. St John.
Yea are too young, and witb an
abundant fortune, too unoccupied to
make ef life what you ought to make of
it It seems to me that a man should
have occupation, should have some pur
pose in life beyond the mere pleasure of
living.
" There is always danger of an idle life
no matter how well principled a man
maybe. If you were already in business
or proposed to give yourself to any mer
cantile business, or to a profession,
might have viewed the matter different
ly. No, Mr. 6t John ; I cannt give Jou
my daughter."
Her edict had gone forth. The engage
ment between Jack St John and Mary
Breton was at an end.
There was no doubt that Mrs. Breton
was a very singular woman. Jest what
had passed people did not know, bat the
fact that ah? bad refused Jack St John
for her daughter leaked oat, and made
much eomaaeut Mary was s beautiful
girl, of course ; no on denied that, but
what more could Mrs. Breton ask T Was

ed Jack showed plainly that he was bad
ly hurt about it As for the young gen
tleman himself, he never referred to it
and soon after Mary wert sooth, with ber
parents. Mary's bloom paledbut though
the mother saw, she held her way unre
lentingly. It was a wonder to the girl
how one so weak and gentle could be so
firm, but her mother's kindness, and ber
wisdom, she never thought of doubting.
When they returned, Jack was not in
Boston.
" Heard tbe news V said young Glit
terby. Jack St John has turned saw
bones, and gone to Paris to study."
A little older, a little graver, a little
wiser, Jack St John had entered on hos
pital practice. In bis secret trouble he
had made a confidant of an uncle, who
was a weel-known physician.
"Get to work! Get to work, Jack!"
said the old man. " It's tbe best thing in
tbe world in a disappointment
"Come into the ofiice here with me,
and peg at the books for six months, and
then I will tell yoa what to do next."
The old doctor was very much in earn
est Jack laughed a little, unbelieving
ly ; but to work be went, promptly, and
was glad of the distraction. He did not
long any the less for Mary, but he bad
the com Tort of feeling that he was taking
a sensible course.
His uncle had been a little afraid that
Jack, like soma indulged young men,
might rush off into dissipation, and it
pleased, him to see how the boy stuck
to the study of medicine, so much so that
he boasted to his colleagues, "If he holds
out as well as he has begun, I shall be
glad to make him my successor.
Mary came from Florida, and Jack was
in Paris. She went into society, as usu
al, but she was not eminently a fashion
able girL She continued her studies, en
riched her mind, was a comfort to her
invalid father, and her mother's confiden
tial friend. Mary never forgot Jaeh, and
her mother knew this.
But bravely as Jack did his part, he
did not pecuniarily prosper. His uncle,
Dr. Paul Golding, was accidentally kill
ed, and bis lucrative practice scattered.
Jack's father was no longer a rich man,
and when, in six years, he returned to his
nis native city he was a skillful but poor
physician, seeking practice.
Mary met him in society. Her grand
father had died and left ber a large prop
erty, but she was the same Mary. As
Jack looked at tbe fair face he recalled
the memories of the pleasant past She
thought he had forgotten all that, he was
so changed, so bearded, so grave ! Only
the genial blue eyes were the same, and
the pleasant manner,
Oh, that pleasant manner! It was not
only sunshine, it was life itself to Dr. St-
John's poor patients, and they were far
y , K.IC1 IU UUlUUtl . lJlO
Mary heard often how his patients loved
him, and he heard, also, of her many
benevolent deeds, and that, it seemed to
him, was the only tie between them now,
and to Mary there seemed to be no tie at
11.
She was glad he had not seemed to see
the color that honied into her face at
sight of him Jack, nobler and stronger,
but Jack stilL
Jack did not see Mary again for weeks.
Her father's life still spun out, but that
winter he had paroxysms of terrible suf
fering. He had endured much, been
ery patient and it broke Mary s heart
she bent over him and wiped the pam-
wrung sweat from bis face. It could not
possibly be borne long, and the doctors
proposed consulting with a physician
fresh from the hospitals of Paris, Dr. fct
John.
The consultation took place, another
remedy was tried with good effect, and
Mary and ber mother were tearfully
grateful.
"Pray, Dr. St John, come and see us
as friends," said Mrs. Breton.
"Thank you." he said, with a joy in his
face that he could not conceal from her
searching eyes ; "I am getting business
now, but I will come."
He made two social calls, and feit sat
isfied that Mary was the same Mary.
Yes, the same, in spite of her forbidding
fortune.
He was sadly thinking that he had best
not go to the pleasant home again be,
useful, but so poor, when the little figure
of Mis. Breton crossed the threshold of
his office.
"Yoa must not think me bold, Dr. St
John, because I come to you to-day. I
have watched your career with interest,
and am much pleased with it I have
seen the love that you have tried in vain
to conceal, and knowing that you hesitate
to seek my daughter as your wife be
cause of the change in her fortune and
your own, I wish to say that the objec
tions I made six years ago to my daugh
ter's accepting yoo no longer exist"

One Man's Snake Record.
There is a citizen of Voidosta who has
bad some startling experiences witb
poisonous snakes during his life. He is
entirely responsible, does not like noto
riety and seldom talks of his adventures
with reptiles, because he fears his recital
of them would not be believed, and he
does not care to figure as a Munchausen
among 6nake story tellers.
Some time ago he was attracted by the
laughing of a child who was at play in
the front yard. Looking through the
window he discovered to his horror that
the child was playing with a great live
rattlesnake, whicb sprang its warning
rattle just as the child was rescued from
what would have been certain death.
At another time recently, while wad
ing in a branch, he stepped on a large
water moccasin, and narrowly escaped
being bitten, as he had crushed the body
of the reptile and aroused it wrath. It
did show fight, however, chasing him to
dry land.
On still another occasion," says th'is
hero of many battles with snakes, "I had
cause to tramp all day with some com
panions in s swamp, and it was during
snake time of tbe year. During that
day I had the misfortune to step on as
many as three Jive and wriggling moc
casins at ditlerent times, bnt bad the
good luck, as usual, to get off without
having their poisonous fangs struck into
my flesh. No other one of the party had
any suca close calls. It all fell to my

At another time, while I was push
ing my way through a thick and boggy
swamp, one ot tiiy leet Drone turouga

forward. I caught at a tussock just by
me, and threw my hand on a large moc
casin. It flinched, but did not move. I
was stuck in the mud. Its forked tongue
flashed in my face ! I could not get op
without a struggle, and I was afraid to
make the effort, fearing that a movement
on my part would bring a strike in the
face. I held mv breath, while my hand
went to my belt, and I drew therefrom s
pistol. In an instant I got in the first
blow, and the snake's head went off. A
friend stood on a tussock five feet away
watching the tragedy in one act.
"Recently I was hunting cows ia the
pine woods. I rode a mule. I was ging
at a slow lope. Suddenly tbe beast threw
ts head down with a snort, and plowed
the earth with both fore hoots in a des

of the saddle and astride of the mule's
neck, and would have pitched over his
head on the spot had I not seized the
animal's ears, one in each hand, as I
struggled wildly to prevent a fall. My
head and chest went full over its head,
but my grip on the long ears and my
feet locked around its neck end raved
me for the time.

A Beautiful Face.
Somebod said it was a beautiful face,
and the second somebody who looked at
it discovered it wasn't a yoon, face,
while the third somebody said that it
was not a correct face, but still they ail
united in saying it was a beautiful face.
I will tell yon how it happened to be so.
It was tbe face of a woman ho, early in
life, when shewa a girl like you and
Kate and Dorothy and Mary discovered
that her face would only be beautiful if
she did not allow herself to speak the
pettish word, or think the unkind
thought ; that petulance and suHenness
drew down the corners of her mouth
until they made lines there ; that anger
gave her a corrugated brow, and that a
violent indignation made her draw her
lips close together, made them lose their
Cupid's arrow shape and become thin
and pursed op.
She learned that ill-temper affected her
complexion. Now, you laugh at that!
But it is true, nevertheless. Every
part of the human being L-. effected by
the mental action, and anger is quite as
likely to give you indigestion and dys
pepsia as it is to give you headache and
make you feel nervous. Indigestion and
dyspepsia mean dull eyes and a sallow
skin ; so, quite irrespective of ita being a
virtue to restrain your angry passion, you
see it is a good beauty preserver.
The woman who, as s girl never learns
exactly how undesirable it is to show out
ward visible signs of peevishness or irri
tability, will certainly have outward visi
ble signs of them on her face and w hen
she is the age of this woman th'is wom
an ho is described as having a beauti
ful face hers will be wrinkled and ugly.
L'glyisavery disagreeable word. You
know it doesn't siean lacking in fine
features ; it doesn't mean not having a
skin like strawberries and cream, but it
means being repulsive and disagreeable.
And so, my dear girl, that's what you
must not do. You must, when you are
fifty, have a beautiful face the result of
a careful consideration of your temper
and the outspoken words that proclaim
it ; a coasideration of such weight that it
never lets the ugly, angry words even
formulate, let alone express themselves.

Squelching a Terror.
Among the passengers who landed in
Detroit from a western train the other
morning, was a young man wearing a
cowboy hat, a bear-skin overcoat, the
claw of a grizzly bear as a breastpin, and
other outward tokens of ling a person
from the far west; As he hung around
to make some inquiries, oilicer Button
queried of him :
" From Colorado 7"
" No, from Montana V
" You can shoot, throw the lasso, and
nw thai bowie-knife, I suppose 7"
" Killed your man 7"
" Three of 'em,"
" Going to stop over ?"
" Yea, for a few hours. I've heard a
good deal about Detroit aad want to see
the town."
" Yea. Let me give you a pointer. We
have a little bit of a sawed-off mania
town who had one of his ears sliced off
by a western tough. He does nothing
but walk around and look for chape of
your build. When he fin is one he lights
right on to him, and it's good-bye

" No."
" Sure as shootin' ! He's done up
seven or eignt in a montn. il you go
up town, leave all those things in the
package-room. If yoa don't, if he catches
sight of that hat ot overcoat, or bear's
claw, you'll be a goner.'
" Do the authorities allow him to hop
on to people that way?"
" They can't help themselves. I'm giv
ing you a friendly tip. Look out for old
sawed-off."
The man sat down to think it over,
came to a decision, after a while, and got
into a seat in the corner of the room, and
sat there five long hours before be got his
train for the east Detroit Free Vo.

"Yoa say yoa love my daughter V

the promise of great achievements.

A Lawyer's Story.
Ia a trial in the United States Coun
where a young man Ltd been iudicted
for passing a counterfeit ten-dollar bill,
the counsel of the latter, C. A. Baldwin,
objected to General Strickland's course in
endeavoring to prove by business men
the fact that the bill in question was a
counterfeit, but to no purpose.
Finally, improving a favorable chance,
Mr. Baldwin substituted a good bill for
the counterfeit which genuine money
General Strickland then proved by three
business men to bo the rankest kind of a
counterfeit Thereupon Mr. Baldwin ve
hemenily' demanded that attention be
given to his objections, and the presiding
judge insisted that the district attorney
send out for a bank cashier and an ex
pert. With great confidence General Strick
land haoiled the expert the bill. After
establishing his business and his experi
ence in hanJILag money and said :
".State to tie j'iry whether, in your
opinion, that bill is nood or lad."
"This is a good bill, sir,"" returned the
witness.
"What!" shouted the attorney, "do
you mean to sy that bill is not a coun
terfeit?" "Yes, sir; if yoa will bring it down
to the bank, we will givevou gold for
it."
Then tliere was a scene, in the midst
of which Mr. Baldwin managed to ex
plain to the court that he had changed
the bills without the knowledge of the
district attorney, and that, in view of the
fact that three good business men bad
testified thttt a genuine bill was a coun
terfeit, he thought considerable allow
ance should be made fur his client an
ignorant country boy in mistaking a
counterfeit for a good bill. The jury were
evidently impressed with the idea, for
they raturned a verdict of acquittal.
A Modern Heroine.
The latest heroine to come before the
public is Sister Margaret France, of St
Victor's Convent, near Montreal, which
was burned on Wednesday morning,
July Sth. The convent contained a large
number of deaf mute children as pupils,
but seems to have had no fire escapes, al
though the children were lodged on the
sixth tloor. At an hour in the morning
when sleep is the soundest Sister Marga
ret, in charge of the sixth floor dormito
ry, awoke, to find the room on fire and
the children flocking around her. The
stairway was on fire, and the would-be
rescuers who came from the neighbor
hood had no kt'lilers. A worse outlook
for successful escape could scarcely be
imagined ; yet this one woman saved the
children and herself, too.
She gathered thetn in the corner of the j
building iarthest from that part in which j
the f!ariis sit- ra:iig svn.t, iw....,
tO-e oi ufu iiouiiiiQ, iu Ativu uci tuii"
one by one, to the ground. She kept at
her work fur half an hour and until the
last child was snie'.y landed ; then slip
ped down the rope herself, with her
bands and arms blistered by the heat
and the hair singed from her head, and
when she reached the ground fainted.
That was like a woman. She can dis
play superhuman energy and courage in
cases of emergency, but whea the crisis
is pa.-v-d the reaction is severe and her
nerves cannot stand it ; so she faints.
Few women, however, would have had
the coolness and presence of mind dis
played by Sister Margaret in thinking so
quickly and acting so promptly in the
midst of confusing circumstances. She
is a heroine of the tir-t water and should
be celebrated as such. Her devotion to
duty at the probable cost of life was as
striking and as finely displayed as that of
any of the heroines who stand high in
the annals of history. She should have
honors while she lives and a monument
when she dies.
Bat what should those ia authority
have who put a multitude of children to
sleep on the sixth floor of a building
without fire escapes ?
An Eye for Beauty.
If ever a man likes to have a pretty
woman, it is when he ia sick. When a
young mau decided to go to a hospital,
his greatest inducement was the hope of
having one of the young and beautiful
nurses he hail read about in books min
ister to hita. He imagined a sweet creat
ure, tender and hopeful, bending over
him, her charms enhanced by a bewitch
ing cap and apron.
When tlie doctor called the following
day he found his patient restless disturb
ed. The hospital seemed to have no
charm for him.
"Homesick, eh V asked the doctor, aa
he felt his pulae.
"Oh, no."
"What is the trouble, then?"
"Doctor," sail the young man faiptly,
it's the nurse."
"Oh, I see. Too rigorous. But yoa
know that ia for vour own good."
"It isn't thatj'I expected she would
be young and beautiful, but she's old
enough to be my grandmother, and as
homely as a hedge fence."
"All the belter, said the doctor ; "yoa
won't fall in love with her."
But the homely nurse scored s suc
ceed. A3 the weeks rolled on she waited
apt-a the patient so kindly and her ser
vice was so faithful that he outgrew the
desire for the pretty face.
Another proof of the proverb. Hand
some is that handsome does. Detroit
An Anecdote of Angelo.
Michael Angelo, at a time when Italy
paid so much attention to ancient art
that modern had no chance to be judged
fairly, bad, it is said, to resort to a strata
gem to teach the critics the fa'lacy of
shaping their judgments by fashion or by
reputation, lie sculptured a statue rep
resenting a sleeping beauty, and break
ing off an arm, buried it in s place where
excavations were being made, it was
soon found, snd lauded by critics and tbe
public as a valuable reiic of antiquity, far
superior to anything done for certarie.
When Angelo thought it had gone far
enough, he prod need the broken arm and
to the preat mortification of the critics,
revealed himself as the sculptor.

a wider sphere, will do well to rea l tho
follow ing anecdote taken from tho ex
perience of the Sculp-tur I laxman:
Shortly after his marriage. Sir Joshua
Reynolds one day said to him i
"Flaxuian, I am told you are married ;
if so. sir, I tt-lt you are ruined for an ar
tist!" .. .
Flaxman went home, sat down beside?
his wife, and taking her hand, said :
"Ann, I am mined for an arti.-t."
"How so, John? - What has happen
ed? Who has done it?
"It happened," he replied, "in the
church, and Ann IVuman has done ;t.
He then repeated Sir Joshua's remark,
and with it the often expreM opinion
of the great man that a st i lent who
would excel must brir.g his entire pow
ers to bear upon his art; and also the
conclusion that no man could lie a great
artist who had not -tudied the master
piece of his profession at Rome a::d
Florence.
"And I," sai 1 Flaxman,
lirawmg np
-ht, "I wocM
his little tigm-e to its full hei,
be a great artist."
"And a great artist yon ha.l be," sai-1
his wife, "and visit Rome, too, if that be
really necessary."
"But how? asked Flaxcni'm
"Work and economic," rej lue ! the)
brave wife; "I will never have ;t said
that Ann Ienman ruined John Haxnian
for an artist."
"I will go to Rome," said l'laxma.'i,
"and show Sir Joshua that we-ilock U for
a man's good, rather thaa his harm."
Five years of hard wort and strict
economy did acconipli.Hii this o'tj,- t.
