BEAUTIFUL SPRINGTIME."

It Isall very well for Husks and Nubbins ta» talk about the beauties of Spring. No doubt he considers it very charming. He is a man and sees only the beautiful side, but to ns practical ereatures of the feminine gender springtime suggests but one thing, namely, house-cleaning.

We awake some beaatifal morning and exclaim, What a glojiousday, we must clean house.

As soon as breakfast is over, our better half snatches his hat and starts, unless indeed be be one of those rare husbands who believe in lightening household duties for their wives. In the latter case he gives us quite a good deal of assistance which lightens both our labor and our heart.

Well, bow the dust does fly 1 Nobody would think these carpets were up only six months ago.

Be careful of that mirror, M*ry, its bad luck to break a looking-glass. Mcrcy! do see bow you are scratching the furniture. Gather up this straw and don't scatter it on the walk. Give the wood work a good scouring but don't take off the paint. O, how could you be so careless as to break that window pane? There, now, I guess we are ready to scrub the floors, bring in plenty of water. What! can you have the face, Mary, to t*U me that you must go see tbe balloon ascen slon You like to live here, don't you Well, if you go this afternoon you take your trunk with you. Ah! I thought I could persuade you to remain at home.

How good in John to take a cold dinner. We shall get through nicely. Have you finished beating the carpet? Now let us put it down. Dear me, not a tack in the house. Run down town, Mary, and got some. You can't go without dressing? Well, if that beau of yours don't like you in that dress as well as any other you'd better drop him. Put on your sun-bonnet and start. Heigho, how tired I am.

What easy times I used to have when I was a girl, but I wouldn't be single again, of course not.

What long tacks but we'll have to use them. Now, pull a little harder there, stretch again take care, you're pulling out all the tacks on the other side. Gracious who knew that hammer would fly off the handle in that manner? I'm sorry it hit you, Mary, but don't cry. You should learn to take things philosoph Good Heavens! I've struck my thumb-nail. O, dear, O, dear, what shall I do? Get some camphor, quick! Who's that stopping at the gate? Callers, I declare, and that lady from New York who considers it so degrading to work. I can't send word I'm not at home for they saw me through the window. Well, I'm not ashamed. I'll go in. Mary, is there anything unusual about my appearance? Thoy looked as If they wanted to laagh all the time. Nothing but a streak of coal dust ncross my upper lip? Is that all! Dhnd me tbe glass, a regular mustache! I know now what that New Yorker meant when she asked me if I was putting my Woman's Rights theories into practice. However, lots get to work. Can't we put up this stove-pipe I cannot bear to ask John, for he docs act so awfully when ho puts up a pipe says such terrible words, wishes it was In— (I can't say it,) kicks it across the room, scatters soot all over the carpet and I Anally have to put it up myself, but by the time I am through I don't blame him, I am much Obliged for all he baa said since I am not permitted to say it myself.—=-There

bow,

I believe

wo have finished and I'll sit down by the window awhile. What a lovely evening, this breeze is delicious. I feel as if I should like to lie down on those fleecy clouds and rest. 1 can almost inhale the fragrance of those opening buds. Rlrdie, how sweetly you sing, you're as glad as I am that we will have no more hateful house-cleaning to do this Spring.

I shpuld disliko to live in a rented property for a woman never knows when she has finished cleaning bouse how soon she will have it all to do over again.

Here cemes John serenoly sauntering along and what is that he is saying! I made a splendid bargain to-day, sold the house and we must move next week!"

[Written for The Mall.]

A WORD TO MRS. JOHN SMITH. Error*, like straws, on the surfeee flow. He who would search for pearls moat dive b*low."

Those boots served their purpose well, nnd the pantaloons only escaped because the diminutiveness of my stature would not accord gracrfvily with the enormity of their length. I was doing a roan's work, and why not don bis attire, meanwhile Shoveling snowdrifts from wales while the mercury was 5° below aero, demanded the entire habiliments of a man, didn't it? Now, dear Mrs. 8msth don't imagine that 1 am in the habit of doing such work, fbr my well filled water palls, and coal hods every scorning, yon fast accumulating ash hesps (from fires of his own making) all tell their own tale. Boldness demanded ay liege lord's attention upon that particular morning, snd to accommodate those friends who might wish to call on me, I stooped, fbr once, to wearing boot*

snd

shoveling

mow,

But my object in now addressing you is, to rectify an error in your imagination. That pompous person to whom you alluded in your last letter as "willing that women should break stones on the road, work at the blast

furnace, or dig cellars, etc.," I happen to be well acquainted with, and know, that those expressed opinions of his were all male bombast. He is willing, and desires women to have equal wages, equal facilities for education, equal footing in the domestic circle and so on "adllbltum," but he is not'willing to concede that the ballot will give her theee "golden ggs."

He thinks and argues, that political associations are degrading to women. Ergo! I know a secret. His wife accompanied him, and sat side by side with him in every political caucus he attended last fall. She walked arm in arm with him to see every torchlight procession. She read page for page with him all their political papers and discussed their contents pro. and oon., and he is wont to remark with pride, "my wife is a well posted woman in the current events of the times." In fact she went through tbe whole rontine of political training with him, except a ten minutes walk on the morning of the election, when he deposited the fruits of said training in the ballot box. She kept her's musing over its defunct state thus! "How much she would have enjoyed a morning walk with him had it not been so degrading to her moral character. He was going to vote and it was deep, deep degradation to even be with him and see him do it (Presto! some wiyes would have thought their husbands the degrading element had they caught microscopic views of them at different periods upon that eventful day.) This is secret number one, here is secret number two. The morning after tbe election, the gentleman above alluded to, found that he owed Sykes, the hatter, a bill for a friend contracted by being the unlucky party at a betting game, with a pensive smile and in low hushed tones be informed his wife of the fact, for months, she had been economizing in every way that she could, turning soiled and faded neckties, bleaching stained laces, cleaning old kids and was even contemplating discharging her only help, in order to obtain the wherewithal, to furnish their new house, and this news made her open her eyes. She didn't say much, except to ask the amount involved in the lost bet. That p. m., however, she went down town, actually with her face unveiled for those pantalooned bipeds of yesterday's voting preclnts, to gaze upon as often as they desired. For many days thereafter, she shone resplendent in two button kids, dainty neckties, and immaculate laces she invested in cunning devices of the toilet the same amount that her husband stood debtor for at Sykes'. He Btill thinks she is a well posted woman, and regards her as a shining light in the firmament of women. She expects to vote at no distant day, is already holding offloe as high Priestess of her happy home, and also expects to attend the Woman Suffrage Convention to meet here in June. Hopes to make Mrs. John Smith's acquaintance then and there.
