A little woman, who is an cheery aa a
cricket ou the hearth, said to me the
other day, “Polly, I’ve got the best

for every day iu the week except Hun-
day. My husband said he felt mean to
stay at home and do uotlilng, tor the
housekeeping, the cooking and the
miudiug of the children didu’t amount
to auytbmg, and be would be taking

He wouldn’t get the children any hot
luueb, which they bad been used to,
but made them eat crackers and butter.
He always wanted a variety for dinner.
That night we had potatoes boiled with
their jackets on until they fell to pieces,
aud some bacon fried to a crisp and tea
which was only water, he having for­
gotten to put the tea in the teapot.
The next day he said the children
drove him wild, and be Hpanked them
again, and the whole house was topey-
turvey. He put the dinner on to cook
and went out aud sat down on the
porch. After awhile a neighbor came
aloug aud told him be thought our
house was ou tire, for smoke was com­
ing out of the windows. Both of them
ran in, and there was the dinner cooked
to a cinder and the whole bouse filled
with smoke. My husband had to go
out aud get other things for dinner.

block. The blocks were the property of
the noble, who retained or destroyed
them at will. No reprints for another
