The Little TAM At Home.
The dear little wife at home, John,
With ever so =eh to do.
Stitches to set nod babies to pet,
And so many thonghts of you ;
The beautiful household Salty,
Filling your house with light,
'Whatever yon meet toolay, John,
Go obeerily home nonight.

Vail needn't be cross or eurt
There ere words like darts to gentle hearts,
There are looks that wound and hurt:

Drop the trouble out of sight ;
To the little wife who is waiting,
Go cheerily home to -eight.

"And so the shadows fall apart.
And so the west whirls play.
And all the windows of my heart
open to the day."
So I hum to myself this fide morning by
the sitting -room windows' while the children
go about their duties, andthe sunshine gives
life -to everything where it eau penetrate,
Through the cool white eurtains I see the
I garden where the roses bloom aud the robins
sing, but we are busy making up summer
, dresses, fair matins and lawns that no be
done so easily by amateur dressmakers noW
that dresses are simplified and patterns ea-
sily obtained. When the machine stop,
humming and they are busy basting 1
-sometimes lean latek i11 my easy chair and
I siteralize on events of the days—of men and
women, and of the mercies we enjoy and
' only half appreciate.
Patience sometimes takes a little time to
paint, Ruth stitches bright &nuke int() 110r

and does the thousand and one things that
I. fall to a willing wornan's share of life's
burdens, now and then bringing her work
! with her to a chair by the pleasant window
where we all congregate.
So this morning there is a little breathing
spell, and we are talking of the lo ot each can
make of life. We talked, too, of the various
avenues open to our six in the world of work,
and I said that onr many duties kept us
from concentration, from doing one thing
well. A wood engraver, for instance, beim,
asked why he ,lidnottake girls as appren-
tices, said it -was simply because they did
not make it a life work as boys did. There
S was always the thcaight (.1 marriage, and
• they had not the ambition that inspired u
boy whose lifework it was, and who =lea.
vored to excel.
" Why," said Mercy, indignantly, "do
men think gills cannot do wed: well bemuse
they are so full of the thought of a possible
husband. What an uncharitable idea.
There are girls and girls—and the world 13
just beginning to lied it 000--s" " Yes,"
answered, " lett would you blame the world
for judging by past experience 1" The thee
is not far distant when every sensible girl
will have a profession, or a business, mut if
sbe lives al, home, will all the same be a
speeialist 113 001:110 department of the world's
work.
Besides being useful, it is health to body
and mind to have some particular pursuit or
study, or work that interests the mental and
physical powers. I aln always struck by
this idea when in Boston, and though matly
jokes are made at the culture at the "Hub,'
there is a great deal of common sense in the
method of being a specialist, so long as 11: 10
not earned 10 0301051, to Make 000 a nuisance
to any one else.
Then when old age comes you will be able
to follow your pursuit by the mark you
I have made and to fill your time with plea-
; sant remembrances when you do not care to
battle in the foremost ranks. " I suppose,"
said Patience, "my mark will he best seeo
if I get a dress album and put in a bit of
each pattern I am making up. It will be
easy to see them, and to be remembered
for what I have done.'" And theu the solv-
ing machine began to hum again, and each
ane went her separate way, So June comes
to us, and we see the promise of the glorious
Summer, as the morning gives the promise
of a fair day.

An Enterprising Maiden,
MONTREAL, Aug, 7. -Mr, Marshall, the
secretary of the Society for the Protection

age, named Cerullo Cook, who gracefully
wheeled up to the ladies' entrance of the
SN'indsor hotel the other day, mounted on a
handsome tricycle. Dismounting, the new
ly-arrived engaged two rooms, one for par -
en ts to arrive in the morning and one for
herself. - The father and mother dicl mat
arrive, however, so Miss (Swede went out
to take a spin down town. She took the
spin, but, instead of coming back to pity her
bill, the tricyclist engaged apartments at the
St. Lawrence Hall, where, after the same
story had been told and the 51000 trick
played, she went to the Albion on McGill
street. There, however, the enterprisinggirl did not meet with much success, tts the
hotel proprietor seized the velocipede in
payment of the account. Miss Cook here
hecame disconroged, and went to board at
the St Brigid's home, where Mr. Marshall
came across lier last evening, but she left
this morning for parts unknown. Miss
Cook, when she came to the Windsor, repre-
sented herself as being the daughter of a
lawyer in 'Worcester, Mass., but is now
known that she forMed a part of the

Money Slang,
Speaking of money, the large monber of
synonyms therefore in our language illus.
.trates remarkably well the sources from
Which our slang words arc recruited and the
striking appositeness of .some of them. One
may speak of money in mitres of ways
without mentioning the word and yet be
be thormighly well understood. For in-
stance, here are some ways in which money
can be referred to without the necessity of
calling in an interpreter to explain what is
meant: "The needful," "the wherewithal,"
"the actual,' "the boodle," "the stuff,"
'blunt," "tin," "brass," "chips," "boodle,"
'shekels„' "simaleons," "dust," "stamps,"
"dollars," "chink," "brass," or palm oil,"

Seizures of Pork.
OTTAWA, Aug. 7,—A number of seizures
have been made 0( 1)0000110(1 pork which has
been entered at certain ports of the Domin-
i ni as boing the "product of hogs weighing
not less 1:1)03) 200 pounds, and containing
lilt more than sixteen pieees to the hicri•el,"
which class of heavy pork collies under a
special enstoms classification. Upon exam-
iation, however, it was found that 1:110 110111
thus desigagted contained more than six-
teen pieces to the barrel and was cut from
other potions of the hog than provided for
in the tariff item under \Odell they' weep
entered. In other cases it was found that
the original brand upon tho potic bunnies(

officials in the different ports of the Doinin-
ion have been instrocted to look closely
afterfrituds of this nature. A few seizures
and confiscations of pork thus fraudtffiently
entered will have a wholesome offeat upon
unscrupulous importers, and will afford that
measure of protection to the Canadian pro -
chicon which the new tariff wks designed to
extedil to them.
