WOMAN AT WORK.

Home is more to a woman than to r man. It is her temple. She is its g dess, its priestess—but oftener its janitor. A man doesn’t look so longingly back at the old home, though it never cost him a cent, bought all ills clothes and sent him to college. A man likes his home when he gets acquainted in it, because there his stupidity passes for profoundest wisdom. His jokes are all laughed at (though it needs a glossary to get at their meaning) if he only indicates the laugh-ing-place. When a man dies he is wept for at home, but the cold world moves right along as if nothing had happened ; fond lovers come to his graveyard, even ; wear his tombstone smooth sitting on it, contract b- ; poetry and rheumatism, and burden th-. dr with labial confectionery. I have he.- a that there were skeletons in many'- homes. They never get there unless they are brought. Secrets in the family : are bad things. There is one, though, that’s all right, and that is a handsome Christmas prese.it for the husband, for the bill is sure to bo sent to him lour days before Christmas, so that everything is made lovely and harmonious Exchange.
