You have written my lesson of duty

Now stand at the bar of my womanTs

Until I shail question thee. |
You require that your mutton shall al-

You require a cook for your mutton

I require a far better thing ;

And a man that the Maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did the first
And say, oIt is very good.�
I am fair and young, but the rose will

From my soft young cheek one day ;
Will you love me then, Tmid the falling

As you did Tmid the bloom of May ?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and
deep
I may launch my all.on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made a bride.
I require all things that are grand and

All things that a man should be ;
If you give this all, I would make my

To be all you demand of me.
If you cannot be this"a laundress and

You can hire with lictle to pay ;
But a womanTs heart and a womanTs

Are not to be won that way.

The bicycle neck is also becoming

two common varieties of this deformity.

It is agreed by medical men that the
doing one room thoroughly every week.
If your house has six rooms, each room
will get a good cleaning every six
weeks; if they are ten, and you are re-
stricted in help, they will get over-
but in either case there will be no do-
mestic revolution, no complete upheav-
ul of the lares and penates.
It is very much better for the furni-
ture, etc., to be treated systematically
all the year round in this fashion. Lin-
oleum oil and floor cloth, washed and
polished in the same way as stained
floors, only with a thinner preparation,
| will look better and last much longer
than if merely: washed in a slovenly
manner for six months, and then elab-
orately scrubbed or otherwise treated
with drastic remedies to remove stains
and marks which have been allowed
to eat into the material until it be-
comes a difficulty toremove them. The
game remark naturally applies to pol-
ishing.
A little done every week keeps the
furniture in much better condition
than spasmodic operations; it can be
performed with such a variety of prep-
arations that the difficulty lies in the
choosing. One of the most satisfactory
polishes, is also the simplest"namely,
a mixture of linseed oil and vinegar,
kept in a well-corked bottle and shaken
before use; the furniture must be
dusted first; then the mixture can. be
applied over a small surface, polishing
quickly with old silk rags. This some-
what primitive but efficacious com-
pound has a double advantage; it does
not form a cake over the wood, even

There is much complaint about the
condition of the box sewer on Washing-

bring suit against the town if it is not}
fixed. It certainly ought to be looked

to pond water on adjacent premises
