Brother John wanted me to give them ter him, and he'd do well by 'em, an' I was meditatin' on it, orftil loth to dew it. But what else could I dew with them, when the old farm was took away from inc? • One day, when the time was pear out, I was a hoein" the beans side or the fence iinira Caleb's cornfield.

You need a man ter do yer hoeing an' sidle, an' I need a woman to see ter my aonse, an' if you're agreed, we'll hitch horses an' .work in double harness. I Can't fiud no hired help that'll do as Nalucy did." (Thinks I ter myself, and yonal never find another wife 'twill, either.) "So what dy'e say, Emmeline?"

I was teal hard ter wake, but after • a while I managed tew, an' while I was a rubbin' my eyes, I sez, "Got a good hot fire, ain't ye, Caleb ?" "Fire !" said Le; "No, I any fires. Nancy alter fires." "Did she?" sez I, as cool ber. "So did Daniel."

I never was bothered for wood again. A few weeks after I wanted some money:party bad. I wanted ter send Johnnie and Nellie back ter school, an'I was bound that they ehould have some clothesfit to wear. I asked Caleb a number of times to let me -hey some, but he made all kinds of excuSes. I didn't tell him what I wanted of it, mind ye. So one day along comes a peddler that bought butterin eggs. I had Considerable on hear that Caleb was intending to carry into tiae city when he had time. So I sold every pound of butter an' every egg 1 hed in the house. I got nigh on to twenty-five dollars fer 'em. When Caleb come hoine I told him I had sold the butter'n eggs. "Heow much did. ye git?" sez he. I told him. "Where's the money ?" sez he. "I've got it," sez I. "Wall," sez he, "Nancy -tillers give me all the money that she took for her better and eggs." "Did she ?" sez I. "And so did Daniel." He got tired of holding Nancy up afore my eyes, for I would offset her with Daniel every time. He found tb.at I was powerful sot in my way, an' thought he might as well let me hey my own way, an' se he hez. I don't mean to be ugly, but I won't be trod on •by nobody. When he wouldn't let me hey what Money I wanted, I'd sell something every time. -I sold two tons of hay at one time, when I knew that he only heat enough to winter his crit- ters. So, on the whole, he found out that I wasn't afraid of him, and he be- haved quite decent. I told him, not long ago, that he watagrowin' clever. "Clever !" sez he..

How the " men folks" wouldlfret and sweat and growl, if they had to &op, mow or Whittle, or do any cutting, with blunt or round -edged implements. Yet nine out of ten of "women folks" do most of their cutting up of meats with dull knives—round-edged, made barely usable by rubbing them on a stove top ...with an outlay of unnecessary strength and patience; bread slices arehaggled into thick and thin forms with dull, over -thick knives; long beating instead of cutting the hash meat fine, and. it makes one ache—as badly as their hands or fingers ache—to see a woman trying to go through or shape a piece of cloth with shears or scissors, loose or rickety at the joints, and. as for cutting - edges On the blades, there are none. The remedy: First, we wool(' say, let every woman, young or old, learn to sharpen implements, if neoessiary tak- ing lessons of the men folks, or sem one else. Second, let every man wh is a man, having a house and aeservin one, give personal attention to the household cutting implements. Ten minutes a week or twenty minutes a month, of an evening or rainy day, will suffice to eharpen tale shears and scis- sors clear. to their points, tighten the joints to make the blades meet through their whole length—not so tightly as to • straiti the fingers, or so loosely as to let the cloth turn through uncut. Also to grind off the round of the kitchen cut- ting and chopping knives, anil put an edge to them; ditto the table knives. —American Agriculturist.
