Pui ber pee Well, why itt There is a reason. for pts thing in the world says philosophers, amd there most se's reason for this. In the first Mrs. Purple 1s one of those unfortunate housekeepers whose work is never | done. There is always dragging— aroom to be swept—iamps to be trimmed— fretful babies to be put tos ‘while one eye | ason the broiling meat and other on muddy foot-print unwittingly left by Mr. Pur- ple on the doorstep. “There, Purple, | knew | just how it would be. I wonder sf you know the use of ascraper ora door-mat. 1 should think atter all the time I've spentin cleaning "hea Mrs. Purple goes off intoa monotonous recapitelation ot her troubdjes and trials that has aj] the effectot a lullaby upon a baby, however trying it may be to tne feelings of the baby’s tather. Moreover, Mrs. Purple, with all her “clean- ings up,” does mot understand the first princi- . ples of ing @ house neat. Things are always “rourd im the way;” table-covers put on awry; dutt and ashes ander the grate; cur- tains torn away from their fastenings and pinned up antil Mrs. Purple can “find time” to readjust them. Somehow, it looks forlorn, and desolate, and anbhomelike wken the master ofthe house comes in atnight. Mr. Purple, manlike, can’t tell where the defection lies be don’t analyze the chill that comes over his heart as he crosses the threshold—he only knows that «things don’t look ship-shape!” And co he takes his bat when. nis wife’s back as turned and sneaks ignominiously off, giad to get aways from the dead-alive fire, the dusty room, and Mrs, fag! wok tomgue. Who can Dinme the man? Mr. Purple may be lazy, and “eareless,” very likely he is—most men have a tendency that way—but nevertheless he don’t like to De told of it over and over again, in thar persisted illogical sort ofa way that reminds | ou ofan old hen running from side to side ia = coon, and poking ber head through the bars | im the same place every seven seconds! Mr Purple naturally wonders why his wife den’t | occasionally alladge tothe few good qualhties he happens to possess! Mr. Purple has every in- elination to be happy at home, if bis better half would only give him a chance Of all the sweet-tinted pictures of domestic happiness that we find im the pages of Holy Writ, there is none that suggests more qmiet comfort than Abraham sitting in his tent dour «in the heat of tne d under the shadow of the palm tree of Mamre. De: i wpon it, the good old patriarch never sp bis evenings away from home. He didn’t believe in “just going across the plains to Lots hows or “running over to Sodu the news.” No, Abraham liked to y im his teat door, and very likely Mrs. Sarah would come and jean over bis shoulder and chat with him ter the Oriental fashion! We have the very estimony for knowing that sheavas very amiable under the ordeal of «anexpected com- pany,” when “the calf tender aud good” was dressed, and the three measures of meal baked on the nearth! The idea of looking beyond the sphere of home for enjoyment is at the rootof many of our medern evils. Home shonld be the very centre and sanctuary of happiness; and when it is not, there is some screw loose in the do- mestic machinery! If you want to surronnd a youbg Man with the best possible safeguards, don’t overwhelm him with the maxims and homilies as to what he isand is net to do, but make his home happy in the evenings. Let bim Jearn that however bad and cruel the out. side world may be, he is always sure of sym- pathy and consideration in one place! Woe be- tide the man, whatever his lot or position, who has in bis heart of hearts no memory of ahome where the sunshime never faded out and the voices were always sweet. Were heasrich as Rotbechild, be is a poor man! ee ey Nick GInGEREREAD.—The following direc- tions are turmised to the Agricalturist by one ‘we know to bea good housekeeper—wno has a bealtby tamily as evidence of good éookery— with the remark that they make a gingerbread equal to the best article trom the professional bakers: To2teacupfuls of molasses and 2% tanlespoonfuls of melted lard, are added 7 tea- spoonfuls of soda dissolved in = teaspoonfuls of boiling water, 2 teaspoonfuls of crushed alum dissolved in 3 tablespoonfuis of bouing water, 1 tablespoonful of ginger, apd a little salt if the Jard is fresh: the see well stirred together. Then 4 teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar are mixed thoroughly with a pint or so of flour, and stirred in quickly, with enongh more fiour added to make a dough as soft as it can beconvenientiy rolied. Bake ina quick oven. Some may object to the alum, but a teaspoonful oy *woin a large milk-panful of eakes is but a homerpathic dose at most, and no more »mineral” than the salt used all food. lt gives the gingerbread the peculiar lightness of that made by bakers. Those who eschéw alum must buy nothing atthe baker ebops. *7 Ina town in Connecticut, not long a go, lived Acnt Keziah, an industrious and thriving widow. She had net only kept zood ber estate, but had increased it much in value, and she loved to refer to itas «the home that poor, dear Daniel hed left for her.” One day the ‘income man” came along and carried off some of that little hoarded treasure, and she wept as she connted out the bills on which ker partner's fingers had once rested— so sacredly does the heart-cling to the memo- ries of the departed. A few pours after wardé she was at the table kneoding bread and evidently thinking of the lost one, when her neice said: » now you're prosperous and ‘well to de, let's getsome pretty tombstones for good Uncle Daniel; you | ata be has none at his grave.” Aunt Keziab lifted up herdoughy hands and empbasized this tonching expression: “Jane, if they want anything of Daniel at the judgment, they can find him without a guide- oy I tell you he'll be there in time.”” And nothing more was sai Brex MARRIED A WEEK.—At one of our hotels yesterday. @newly married couple made their a . and, when seated at the din- ner table, their affectionate conduct and some- what awkward macner ip making their warts known, Attracted the attention of otber guest, who eyed the loving pair so closely and failed to conceal their amusement. that the verdant husband finally exclaimed:—“What are you Jaughing at!)
