THE EASY WIFE Tlicrc's just otic tiling a tnnti tan lntio In nil world of woo nml strife, Tlmt makes the biiatticss not too bail, Ami that one thing nil easy w ifc. Dost fancy that I love my girl For rosy checks or ratn hair? She holds my heart bctaute she laughs Because alio laughs, and doesn't tare. I put my boots just where it suits, And lind them wlicro I put tlicm, too; That is a thing on must allow, A chip can very seldom do, I ha e my papers on my desk; Sho never puts them in n heap, Or takes to light the kitchen stove The very one I want to keep. On Winter night my con- dame Will warm Tier toes he'foro the flro; Sho never scolds ahout the lamn, Or wants the wick a tnflo higher. On Sunday tho is not so fine Hut what her rallies I can hugj I light my pipe Just w litre I pltasc, And spill tho ashes on tho rug. Tho bed is never filled with "shams" A. thing some women viltly plan To worry servants half to death, j And spoil the temper of a man. Slio lets mo sleep to nny hour. Nor raise anv horrid din Jf it just happens, now and tl To bo iiuitu late w hen I com ten. como in. I tell you, Jack if von would wed, Just get n girl who lets tilings rani Sho'll keep her ttnipcr like a lamb, And help j on on to lots, of fun. Don't look for money stilk or show, Or blushing beauty, ripe and rare; Just take tho one w ho laughs at fate Who laughs, and shows sho dosn't care. You think perhaps, our household ways Are just pcrcliaiitu a little mixed; Or when they get to horrid bad. Wo stir about mid get tinny lixctl. What compensation-has n mart Who earns his bread by swtat of brow, His homo is mado a battlo ground, And lifo ono long, eternal row ! Harpir's .Magazine. VIBIT1MO IMitor Home Circle. With jour rut mission I will say n few wouls thioiigli jour vciy into citing columns in rcganl to visiting. 1 would first askt Docs nny of tho uaders of tho Homo Cirtlo know anything nhout the mode of visiting in nny of tho mother couutriis, or even this country n half century njjn, if so, hnvohey ever noticed tho great contrast between thoso mentioned nnd our present mode, or rnthtr pretentions? I say picUutious, for tho very reason that genuine visiting is a mode of in. tclcctual enjoyment entirely unknown to tho real Orr goiiian, not that I w ish to cast any rclleetious, but nm satisfied that I can sustain ' my argument. Tor In tho first plaeo, it is unmanly or unwomanly to go into n neighbor's houso without n, special invitation, to this I know thcro will bo many objections. Sonic will say, mo thut livo in town or tity have n mode of visiting that wo tenn calling, where by wo visit marly nil of our neighbors in an hour. 0 jes, I know nil about that, but I fancy thoso calls sroa contagious habit, which is nil for show nnd gotsip. Tho writer has personally known t lie-so calls to bo very disagreeable, for instuutv when n lady or gentleman calls on you arrayed In their best best attire, and iiiakiuirn very concious dis play of totno new nrticlo of apparel, and in teresting v on for fifteen or twenty minutes telling J on something bad aliout) our neighbor just across tho wny, nnd through ignorauco lens you somo tlreattrul thing about jour warmest ft lend, or, perhaps, n dear relative. You certainly feci nuito unccinfortablo, and till through fashion you havo been obliged to nsk jour tattling visitor to call on ) on again as soou ns poesiblo. I said it wns unbecoming to go into a neighbor's houso w ithout being Invited, aud I repeat it on tho ground tliat any person desiring tho company of another will give a special invitation to como at a special time, thereby giving the host and hostess r.inplo tiiio to preparo to cnteitain their invited company, knowing exactly who nnd how many will guco their halls at that particular time. Tho writer has known cases wheto tho farmers' wives have been nearly prostrated w ith overwork, mainly by being called on by sev erat unexpected visitors, and that, too, on Sundajs, which is another great blunder.

Although I havo nut forgotten you I havo been neglecting it, waiting for others to w rite, but as thero seem to bo n lilonco now from some of our writers Katio S. and others, I supposo tho lioys think they have "gained tho day" and wo are afraid to write, but such is not tho taso with me. Now I do not like or want to quarrel with any one, but write that way for fun. Harry seemed to bo quite angry in his last letter, nml just went fur me, or rather our teacher. When I read it I took n good laugh. I did not cry liko jou did, Hairy, when jou read mine. All I havo to say nliout the letter ii, that it spoke for itself, mid from tho cxpicsstil opinion of tho-u of our acquaintance, reflected no trcdit upon tho writer. I will tell n littlo joko on Hairy aud then dismiss the subject, as I suppose they are nil tired of our "sparring." A gentleman teeing him going homo from school accosted him witlu "How aro ou, Harry, w lint did you let V.va get aw ay w ith j on for!" "Oil t" says Jic, "Just wait, Father's w ruto mo a good one, and just as soon as I copy It j mill see who has got tho best of it." Aunt Hetty says tho wants us to writo ami tell what we do to help our parents, now I villi tell j on what I havo done. The last week my mother has been sick, and iu fact all that could work wits sick but me, to I have dune nearly all tho work, got supper all by mjstlf on Thanksgiving, washed dishes, scrubbed, churn, worked ovtr tho butter, washed and ironed, aud then when not busy at work took care of my little baby brother. Now dojou know of any littlo girl only ten years old that docs any better than that? I have such a sweet little baby brother, he is seven mouths old, and now wearing short dresses, his name is Claude Clifton. Now I will have to bring this to a close, as I suppose I have written enough for this time, and this is Saturday and I have somo ironing to do. So goodby, Kva Dumiam.

"Wo must reach Johnston's ranch on the Platte, old fntnds, or sleep out, and it's too cold for that," I mutt-fed. I was returning from a se.ucli fur certain desperadoes wanted in tin courts at Pueblo. Tho cut-tin o its had hidden in the mining camps aliout Lendvillc, nnd my search had been n long one.

As the dull gray of the Winter's morning dawned, with groans I drmrgid my stillened limbs from my narrow lied, nnd crept trem blingly down thu trail toward the rivtr, thu blood oozing from a holo in my head, my ejes wild and fierce, my heart panting, my life half gone. As I thought, lllack Dan mutt havo follow ed aud ambushed me, theu,suppoHing mo slain, he had the grace to bury me. It was owing to Ins haste or carelessness that my dog had been able to paw the loosudiitfiom my grave, and save mo. If I could reach Johnston's ranch I might live; if not, I had lieen saved but to die a second time, fern finte storm was browing along the mountain tops abov o my head, .My liorto was uoue, mv nlle. pistol, knife, t'oiiot only thedoiemaineil, and faithful to the last, followed as 1 slowlv and painfully tiod the descending trail in the direction of the rivtr. Suddenly a wil 1 roar of wind and cicakbjg of trees and whirl of freezing snow, the storm buist, and iu its fmy swept mu from my feet, and rolled mc, trying ami shouting, far down the canyon side, until n great boulder caught and held me. '1 lieu it raged on. Fierce and relentless thu wind toiu through the forest, pitiless and cold the snow fill', and except I had dragged my broken nnd bruised Isxlj into a travesso of the ledge, 1 ha (Idled where I laid.

Again I lay iiiitonteioiis, All night the gale continue 1, and not until the dawn of the second day did It tease, whin the new ly fallen snow lay deep aud white overall. Within the detp crtvtsso of tho rock, shel tered from the told white death, and jtt beneath It, I lay motionless. Above mu thu storm had spread a shroud so thick that no ray of light penetrated U my tomb. Half frozen, lit a dreamless, painless sleep, thu forerunner of a swift coining rest, a mere wreck of a man, I was strttchtd upon a rock, and the glint of tho sunshine among the pints or the trend of the wild beasts of tho foil tts ov c rlie ad muttered naught to me. When my tjes opened they lieheld nothing, when my bauds were outstretched tiny touched only the stone and tho tnow, wlitn my tongue cntd out no tars listened.

I was bunt d a second time, but now with death for a companion, l knew tuat l could not tscapc, and the vtiy thought quieted me. There was uo stru 'fie, no moaning, no asonjjonl a dull retkltnes and want of t aro fcr life that betokened tho depth of my despair, Iwosilyir". Mow ly tho moments paired. My tliouglits were few aud simple thoughts of fire nnd flood, thoughts of home and friends and comfort, thoughts of tilings warm and blight, but even these were fading and my mind was vunnlj- wrapping ittlf in the tloik of iiiiuihilitiou, nnd my Isidy wns sinking tow anl inanition whin n bit of snow fell upon my upturned fnee. Had it bee-n lite it could lint havo aroused mo morn quickly. The next iiistint umro fell, and still more, and then light began to gleam, and 1 heard tho hurrjinsciapeof feet mingled with low whiiiini! Don had u turned and was digging mo out. The I evulsion of feeling was terrific. A moment liefore 1 had laid passive iu a tomb, looking for death, now I fought and tore at the loosening snow like a madman, mad with the thought of life. Nearer and nearer came the tescuing feet, deeper gicw the pilo of snow hint.ath me, brighter the light nlioio. 'I ho whining wns mingled with growls now. Don had friends to md him. Tho barrier wns but three feet thick two -one, it wns gone, mid even ns I bu-.ithed the iiirof heaven nml my heart b ap ed within mo mid mv bits uttiwif n i-bol mv n dozen pairs of great hollow ejes burned into mine, a iloz.ui gaunt tonus tiouchcil befuiu mo gnashing their gleaming fangs. I bad been lescued by a pack of mountain wolves. For a single Instant I survejed my enemies 1, weak, wounded and unarmed; thej-, strong, hungry nml ferocious, a dozen to ono and then with a yell I sprang into their midst. It was the act of a mad man, but I wns mad, Denth should tear me limb from limb now, nnd with bravo hands I clutched at the first grey monster before me, nml giasped his haggy throat as with hands of steel seeking to throttle him Then the entire iack with demoniacal how Is hurled themselves upon me. Tho struggle was short. I felt tho hot breath of the brutes iu my face, their red mouths j-nwneil upon uie; their strong claws toio my buck-skin shirt! their teeth snapm-d, w hen suddenly n treat big white something wns hurled from the bank of snow above into tliomidsts of the milee. A half dozen dark forms follow oil. Wild shouts, mingled with pistols shots and heavy blows, broke upon my ears, the ted blood of mj assailants dyed tho spotless snow ; their hideous eyes failed liefnru inc. and falling backward, I felt mj self caught by strong nruis, mid thu well known voue of old Johnston cried, "Sued, thank Oisll" Aye, savedl nnd this tinio for life. My trusty dog had found thu ninth nnd nroused thu men by his strange actions; they had fol lowed him in early morning to where f wns hidden, niriviugnt tho spot just in the su premu moment of need. I wns saved, nnd live dajs later confronted lllack Dan before the bar of the criminal court in Pueblo and had the satisfaction of hearing sentence passtd upon him, while ho tielublod as Im stued at the man whom hu had but ied among the peaks of thu lUkkics.
