Who Hath Woe?
Man who is married to a woman dur
ing house-cleaning time is of a few days
and full of carpet tacks. A cloud oh
scureth his vision nnd great gobs of dark
brown gloom possesccth his soul. He
riseth up betimes and sniffetli the morn
ing air with a heavy heart and obscureth
nose. Ho snatcheth a few pancakes
from the griddle and rushcth to his
labors depressed in spirit and saturated
with dyspepsia. Ho returneth at noon
and falloth over a mop. The dull sick
ening tlind of helarruped carpet iB heard
in the land.- The queen of the house
hold crowneth herself with a dirty towel
and a fierce look. Sho resembleth an
angel. Her sceptre is a broom. The
carpet fuzz clingelh to the salvage of her
nose. Lnrge quantities of real estate
set tleth among the dimples of her swan
like neck. Her eyes glareth with the
fury of great enterprise. She maketh
her spouse to eat dinner from the iron
ing board in tho kitchen, which re9teth
on two chairs. He findeh a cake of
soap beside his plate nnd a portion of
the scalp of the scrubbing brush in the
butter. At night he retu'ueth to his
home with a timid halting step. He
feareth the worst. The swish of the
peach limb is still heard r. it poundeth
a fifty-dollar carpet into shreds. He
drinketh a little cold tea from a tin cup,
and prepareth for bed. A live carpet
tack buryeth its fangs in his foot. He
yelleth in agony, and bumps the ceiling
in a vain and futile effort to jump
through the roof. He belli down on his
couch and wettetb his pillow with his
tears. The family dog howleth beneath
his window like the wail of a dammed
soul and no one in the house sleepeth.
The fetid fragrance of bedhug speciffic
smelleth to heaven and tho aroma of
new-laid moth balls sifteth through the
cover of the clothes chest.
Who hath woe? Who hath Eorrow?
Who hath redness of eyes and a stopped
up noee? Ho who nionkeyeth witn
house cleaming. Who masheth his
thumb? Who polltiteth his lips with
blasphemy? Who imperileth his im
mortal soul? He who turryeth at home
to tack down carpets. Ex.
