HOUSE CLEANING-
Thr rnelnnclioly days are come,
The saddest of tho yenrv
OSTcleanlnt; paint and scrubbing iloors,
And scouring far and near.
Heaped In tho corner of the room
The ancient dirt lay quiet;
Nor ro-o up to the fathers tread,
Nor to the children's riot;
Hut now the carpets arc all up,
And fro;n the stairway top
Tho mistress calla on man and maid
To wield the broom and mop.
Where are tlioso rooms, those quiet rooms,
The hou'-e so late presented.
Wherein wc dwelt, nor dreampt of dirt,
So cosy and contented ?
Alns! they're turned all upside down,.
That rulet suit of rooms,
With slops ivmlsads, and-Hoaps and sands,
Tubs, carpets, chair? ind Urooms,
Tables and stands are tandlng round,
At sixes and at sevens;
While wife and housemaid fly about,
Like meteors In the-heavens.
The parlor and the chamber floor
Were cleaned a week aRO ;
Tho carpets shook and windows wnwhedr
As all the neighbors know.
But still tho sanctum- had escaped,
The Uible piled with books;
Till fell tho women on them all,
As falls the plague on men.
And then there vnnlshed all away,
Books, ptipsr, ink and pen.
And now when comes tho master homo,
As come he must of nights.
To And all things are set to wrongs.
That they have Fet to rights;
When the sound of driving tacks is heard,
Though tho liouso is far lrom still.
And tho carpet women on the stairs.
That harbinger of ill ;
Ho vainly loolre for books and bill
That all wero there before.
And sighs to find them on tho desk
Or In tho drawer no more.
And then ho grimly thinks of her
Who set this fuss afloat.
And wishes she were oat at sen.
In a very leaky boat.
Ho meets her at tho parlor door.
With hair and cap awry.
With sleeves tucked upnrnl broom-li hand,
Defiance in her eye.
Ho feds quite small, and knows full well
Thero'b nothing to bo said;
So holds his tongue, and drinks his tea,
And sneaks away to bed.
THE HEW STJIT0F CLOTHES.
I have had a good many suits of cloth
es in my life, and worn and torn and
out-grown them, but there is one par
ticular suit which 1 nave reason to re
member more than any other..
That was my first Jfeto auit. Al
ways before I bad taken my older
brothers clothes as he outgrew them :
but the .summer when I was twelve
years old, my mother my proud,
fond mother mado me a new suit
with her own hands.
Isever shall 1 forget tho morning
when first I put them on, 'not to
wear them, but only to see how I
looked in them,' she said : for they
were to be kept for Sunday. To please
me, Bho let me fitep out into the street
just to show them to my mates.' My
jacket was buttoned to my chin, my
clean white collar was turned over it,
and my hair was so nicely combed
that I did not wont to wear my hat.
Besides, my hat was not new, and did
not look well enoush. I thought, to
go with me and my new clothes !
Mv mother had made me a pair of
line, large pockets in my trousers
and I kept my hands in them, of
course. How fondly she watched me
from the window, as I mot the other
children, and stood calm and digni
fied and hanutiome while they Hocked
around and admired me!
There were two boys especially
Lincoln Edmond3 and Gale Leveritt
whoso attention ilattered meprodig
iously. They were two or three years
older than 1, and had never deigned
to plav with mo much before : but
now they cama running to me, as if I
had been their oldest and dearest
friend, just returned to them after a
long absence.
'O, look at his now clo'es, Link !'
cried Gale. 'Ain't the tiptop? I
bet ye!' As ho was barefooted, and
dressed in his old every-day clothes, I
thought such praise from him exceed
ingly generous.
'He's the nicest boy we know ; air.'t
he. Gale ?' cried Link, coming up
Wo'll give him some harvest apples,
won't wc ?'
'Of course we will !' said Gale.
'We know where there's some splen
did, close by here. to. Come, and
wo'll show ye.
'Don't go away from the housA !
called my mother, as I started to ac
company them.
'Only just around the corner here,'
said Link.
'Just around tho corner,' however,
proved to be around two (yrnrs and
down a long street; and when we
reached the" place of the apples, I was
a little disappointed to find them still
hanging on a tree which they showed
me over a neighbor's fence !
'Who's going to climb it ?' I aked.
Galo said that perhaps he would ; but
Link replied, 'Ho ! you can't climb
a tree half so well as Gussie can!
You should see Gussie climb once !
Come, Gu&sie ! You are just the fel
low for that little tree!'
My head was quite turned by this
flattery, though Link had never
seen me climb a tree, and could not
possibly haTo known very much of my
accomplishments in that line. I have
since observed that people who are
very eager for praise are not apt to
look closely to see if it has any found
ation in truth.
Fancying for the moment thot 1
was the greatest climber In tho world,
and that I was to excite fresh wonder
and admiration by my exploit, I
clasped the trunk, and with tho help
of a little boosting reached the branch
es. Jicing quite cut or breath by that
time, my ambition also began to fail
mo, and I thought of my new clothes.
I'm 'frald I shall tear 'em !' I snid.
Ho J'sald Link, 'such cloth as that
won't tear; will it, Gale ?'
'Besides, you're up there now,' said
Gale. 'Come, fling down some, and
hurry 1'
As he looked stealthily boh Ind him,
I began to question his right to tho
apples he had been so ready to 'givo'
me ; but he said, 'Of course ! Captain
Cobb paid wo might have all wo
wanted : didn't he, Link ?'
As I had got my breath again by
this time, my resolution also came
back, and, climbing up higher into
the. branches, I began to pick and
throw down tho largest and finest of
the apples, while my companions ate,
and st oiled their pockets.
Suddenly I heard a whipor,
There he is ! run ! run !' followed
by a sound of scampering feet: oud
looking down, I saw Galo anil Link
scrambling Over the orchard fence.
Pursuaded that there must bo some
urgent reason for their flightkI looked
in tho opposite direction, and saw
Captain Cobb coming, at a furious
fate, from a olntnp of quinces behind
which he had been watching us.
If I had had my wits about me, I
suppose I should have stayed in the
tree, and candidly explained to him
how I carno there. Perhaps ho would
have behoved in my innocence. But
.seeing my comrades going, nnd the
Captain coming, all iu such dreadfnl
haste, a panic seised mo, and I began
to go aown the troo a good deal faster
than I wont up.
My clothes caught on the limbs, but
I did not mind that. I heard them
tear a& I broke away, and I almost
broke my knor as I fell to the ground
but, without regarding these slight
accidonts, I tumbled myself over the
fence jubt in thno to avoid Captain
Cobb's outstretched hand. I fell again
as I went over, howover, and as I was
regaining my feet a strong hand
grujiped my collar.
It wan the Captain's. I alono had
fallen into his clutches, while the real
thieves, with their pocket full of ap
ples, at that very moment disappeared
around the street corner.
Idid't! I didn't" I screamed.
You didn't, oh o 7 .n
that, when I en.,h " . ., " P3?
"indlgnant Captain, brandishing a
i.iv,f!,'i';-",1ff'-';
"Twas them ! 'twas them !' I said.
I don't know anything about
them !' he replied ; and whisk, whisk !
came the switch about my legs.
'They made mo ! they gavo me tho
appleB said you told them they
might!' I wildly explained. 'I
haven't eaten one!' which was In
deed tho truth.
'So much the woreo for you, if you
have been fool enough to act as their
cat's-paw ! They'll tell me that you
gave them the apples ; that's the way
with boys. There !' a final cut with
the switch. 'Now don't you ever let
me see you in my orchard again !'
Ah, what a story I had to tell when
I at frt-t went home, weeping and
wailing, to my mother ! Good chll
preu, happy in their old clothes, fol
lowed me to tho door, and stood by,
wntchincr with looks of mild pity her
astonishment and grief at seeing me
in thot wretched plight. My jacket
had lost two or three buttons, and my
trowsers- were badly torn. I had been
smartly whipped "by the Captain ;
and, what was worse, he had gone to
the shop to tell my father.
My mother took mo in the house.
Was I tho samo boy who had left it
half an hour before, the wonder of tho
other childreu who crowded around
me to admire my new clothes ? Now
I could hear them laughing and jeer
ing at me outside the door.
'What will your father say ?' ex
claimed my poor mother, turning me
around to look at my rents on atl
sides.
What ho would say wo knew pretty
soon ; for, on being told by tho Cap
tain that I had been caught In the
very act of stealing his fruit, and
throwing it down to other boys,
whom he had good reason to believe
I had enticed to the spot, he had hur
ried home ; and there he found me,
with the sad evidence of tho mischief
I had been in all over my guilty per
son He did not Btop to listen to my poor
excuses or my mother's entreaties.
Ho took down a stick from over the
tall, old-fashioned clothes-pres3. He
laid mo across his kneo. My mother
turned her face to the wall. No mat
ter what followed, it was what 1 so
little expected when I put on my new
clothes that morning, and went out,
proud and happy, to show myself to
my mates.
After all, I think that was themost
valuable suit of clothes I ever had
for my vanity that day received a les
son which It never forgot.
THE "EBEXEZEUS."
A nV.., nnnnr ant'a tUnt 1 n 1CJ'?
there camo to that section of country
a colony of people who had emigrated
from Geisen, iu the Duchy of Hesse
Darmstadt, Germany, numbering
about 500 souls. They purchased 5,
000 acres of laud, for $10 per acre, on
Buffalo Creek, a few miles from the
citv, and settled thereon. Subse
quently they added 1,000 or more acres
to their original purchase. This was
the co-operative communion known
as the "Ebenezera" the four little
villages which they planted bearing
the name of the "Pbenezer Settle
ments," and all being within eight
miles of Buffalo.
They were a frugal. Industrious,
moral people, being entirely free from
those objectionable features which fre
quently characterizes what are term
ed "Communions." They weut to
work with a right good will even
the women and childern assisting at
the severest tasks cleared their lands
and soon the results of their labors
became apparent in the greatly im
proved aspect of the entire region.
Working systematically and intelli
gently, their farms brought forth
abundant crops, and success attended
their efforts. Xor were their enprHM
ontirplv dpvntpd to nrrrinnltnrp Thov
erected cotton and woolen factories,
four or fie saw-mill-s. a r.innprv fc-n :
grist-mills, wagon-shops, blacksmith
shops, bakeries, &c.
The products of their fields and fac
tories found a ready market in Buffa
lo, and such was the reputation of the
members of the community that no
other recommendation for a commod
ity was needed by city purchasers
than the assurance that "it came from
the Ebeneier.' If a citizen bought
a cord of wood from one of them it
was sure to be a full, honest cord ; if a
bushel of potates, he got every potato
to which he was entitled and this
principle was observed throughout all
their dealings. Their religion was
similar to that of the Quakers.
For reasons which were satisfactory
to themselves, but never fully under
stood by those outside, tho communi
ty resolved to dispose of their posses
sions in this vicinity and go West;
and having sold out to di Heron t par
ties, thov left in IS5t and 18.77 going
at different times, iu detach tncnts
and went to Iowa. At this time tho
number of tho community had in
creased to about 800. Tlicy now own
thirty thousand acres of hcuutiful
land, consisting of woodland and pra
rio. mixed, situated on the banks of
the Iowa Iliver, about pevenly miles
from tho Mississippi. Thfy are known
as ,,Amane3,"and the colony has in
creased to about fifteen hundred. As
was tho caso when living near us, ev
erything in tho way of property Is
held in common, but each family has
Its own separate habitation. Those
who join tho community contribute
their property to tho common stoi;k.
auu it they become dissatisfied, they
receive back just what they put in,
without interest or wages, aud leavo.
So property cannot well become a
bono of contention, and no one can
regard himself a prisoner when ho is
frco to go where he pleases.
As heretofore, the members dress
plainly, build plainly, but substan
tially, and are in no way ornamental.
They havo extensive vineyards, make
and drink wine and lager-beer, but
drunkenness is unknown to them.
They appear to have no vices whatev
er, commit no crimes, and have no use
for courts. There Is, however, a com
mitteo of arbitration to settle minor
disputes when thev arise, as thev
."
sometimes do. The government is
administered and tho whole business
of the community is supervised by a
board of thirteen trustees, who are
elected by the votes of all tho adult
population, and hold the common
property, iiach department of in
dustry his its manager, who is re
sponsible to tho board of trustees by
whom he is appointed.
The property they purchased was,
of course, wild land laud, and they
were obliged to commence where na
ture left off; but they have dono won
ders They havo bridged the river,
made good roads, planted hedges of
white willow, built a canal nearly 9
miles in length, nearly parallel with
the river, to supply their needed wa
ter-power; several llouring mills,
woolen factories, machine shops,
starch. suiar. and vineirar lunnnranm.
ries, all fitted out with fine machin
ery made by their own machinists.
They have built five villages on the
tract, and two of them are stations
for the Bock Jsland and Pacific Rail
roads, which come to their doors.
They have good school houses aud
plain churches, and two grain eleva
tors at the railroad stations, each of a
capacity for storing 80,000 bushels of
Krniu. j. no emiaren a Kant nf
Isohool until thev are fourteen ? nnd
then they are taught a trade or agri
culture, and their education is contin
ued in night schools. English is
taught, but German is the medium of
communication in business and social
life.
It would seem, indeed, that this col
ony has come nearer to tho demon
stration of the problem of successful

A Mixed Case.
A South Carolina correspondent
tells of a case of bigamy tried in which
colored people .were interested. He
says : In opening tho case for the
State, the Solicitor undertook to
prove two marriages, when the pris
oner's counsel announced that, to
save the time of tho Court, the dc
fenco admitted both marriages as laid
in the indictment. "Then," said the
Judge, "the caso is at an ond." "By
no inaaiiH. vour honor." was the
. . v . - f 9 ...
nromnt reply of tho counsel, "wonavo
a good defence, ond shall claim and
expect an acquittal." Tho defence
then called witnesses of both races,
and proved the following state of facts
beyond a shadow of doubt : Tho
prosecutor wan living during tho war
in Alabama, where ho had a wife and
two children. After tho war ended,
in 1SG5, he undertook to remove with
his family to South Carolina, where
ho was born and where his relatives
wore living. On the road his funds
gavo out. and he gotsome one to write
a letter for him to his kindred there,
stating his situation and begging for
money to bring on his mmiiy. ine
money not being sent ho abandoned
his family and came on, stoting to his
friends that his wifo was no account
anyhow, and ho had left her. In six
months' time he married the defend
ant, concealing from her and her fam
ily his already well-established mari
tal relations with another woman.
But this lattor fact leaked out during
tho first year of his last marriage, he
using it himself in taunting tho de
fendant when quarreling with her,
telling her she was not his wife, a3 ho
had left his real wife on the route
home, and had o great mind to go back
after her. The defendant thereupon
quit him and soon after married an
other man, when the prosecutor had
the nudacitv to pursue her for bigamy,
mnkinor the affidavit upon which the
warrant for her arrest was based;
when, in fact, he was the real biga
mist in the caso. Pending this action
the defendant's second husband took
flight and left her, and her counsel
stated that he had full proof that this
latter individual also had a wife and
familv living when ho married the
defendant. So that the young woman
at the bar had been twice married and
yet had never been married had had
two men as husbands, both of whom
were living, and yet neither of them
was her husband ; and to-day, so far
from being entitled to a cell in the
penitentiary, she stood before the
court a young damsel eligible and
ready for the first offer that came
along. The result, of course, was an
acquittal. The woman went free, the
prosecutor also, and the solicitor un
derstanding that the other bigamy
cases would be blown up by the samo
kind of evidence, disposed of them
summarily.
Letter Postage.
Successive changes in postage on
letters, which have been made by the
United States government since the
first postage act was passed in i,
form an Interesting and curious histo
ry. The earliest system was compli
cated. The lowest postage was six
cent to places within thirty miles, and
it increased with the distance, twenty
five cent being required when a letter
was sent to places more tiian four
hundred mile? distant. In 1790 the
lowest rates was made eight cents
within forty miles ; the highest,
twenty-five cents, over five hundred
miles." The law was simplified in
IIS, but six cents was still the mini
mum rate, and twenty-hve tho maxi
mum. .No material change was then
made until 1S4-5. when five cents be-
came :h.- postage
for letters carried a
than three hundred
distance of less
miles, and ten cents for nil greater
distances. Tho "drop letter" si'stem
was also then introduced, and weight
was made the ground of distinction
between "single" and "double" let
ters, instead of tho number of .slice t
of paper. The law of ISol made Three
cents the single rate for prepaid Ict
ers within throe thousand miles, and
six cents for greater distances. Pre
payments was first required in IWt,
the rates remainlugiuiclmngcd ; but in
1SI3 tho present rato of three wills,
prepaid by atamps. for all dhtrmi'Ofl,
was established. The postal revenue
has steadily increased from year to
year ainco 18.1! .
Cnmlritiiw'tl (, Dentil.
Tho Supremo Court of (Jcorgia has
sustained tho verdict of the lower
court iu the caso of K. K. Spann and
a young girl named Suhiui ICbcrhart.
Spaun was convicted last hummer of
the irujrdor of hlh wifo, and the girl of
as-dHling in It, and both were sentenc
ed to bo hanged. A few days ago they
were taken into court and re-fc en leu ti
ed to dcatlu It is now cluimed that
tho young woman, Eberhart, waa in
timidated by Spann, that being an
unsophisticated, poor country girl,
she was bewildered and alarmed, and
obeyed Spann In the commission of
tho crime, scarcely knowing what she
did. It is stated that the foreman of
tho jury, on handing in tho verdict,
aeked the Judge if. in rendering a
verdict of guilty, they could at the
samo time recommmd tho girl to the
mercy of the Court, to which the
Judee replied that an appeal of the
sort would ovail nothing, when the
verdict of guilty was handed in. The
statement mado by tho girl is regard
ed by tho people of Wobster as truth
ful, whereupon a petition to the Gov
ernor is being circulated to procure a
commutation of her sentence. Seven
of the jurymen have expressed their
dissatisfaction with the verdict as
then found by them, and n majority
have signed tho petition asking for
the commutation of the sentence.
A Wonderful Escape. The Lon
don Times telld a wonderful story of
six communist prisoners who escaped
from the fortress of Port Louis, on
the coast of Brittany. By Incessant
labor for three months so it is said
they contrived to sink a shaft thir
teen feet in depth, nnd then excava
ted a tunnel, by which they escaped
on to the rocks at low water, having
ascertained the times of the tides.
Three hundred prisoners were in the
fortress, and all were awpre of what
was going on, but the secret was nev
er betrayed.

"Why Men Don't Marry.
Bev. Henry Morgan gave his rea
sons "Why Men Don't Marry," at
tho Cooper Institute, New York, on
Sunday evening. His house was full,
as bachelors went to find an excuse
for their ungallaut delay. Young la
dies were solving the problem, "Why
in the world don't men propose."
Young men went to study their tu-
ture chances. Woman-haters longeu
for a hit of extravagance. Slighted
husbands went to find some comfort
in a blow at tho strong-minded, and
maiden ladles were anxiona to learn
why the silken noose failed and tho
golden knot was missed. The Rev.
gentleman after giving various rea
sons for man's not marrying, such as
selfishness, scepticism, cowaniice,
gave as his eighth and last, woman's
extravagance. In this he gavo his
hearers a sailora comparison, for he
snid it costs as much to launch a wo
man on tho Bea of wedded life as it
would to fit out a small schooner.
As to sails, pennants, and steamers,
tho difference is in favor oftheschoon
er. As to bearings, never did a
schooner in a rough sea heave, pitch,
and lurch moro ridiculously than
when a Dolly Vardeu woman carries
herself "a la Grecian bended."
"My landlady," saida man, "makes
her tea so strong that it breaks the
cups." "And mine," said another,
"makes hers so weak it can't run out
