PAUL & CO., Churn Slowlj A little maid in the morning sun Stood merrily singing and churnin g— "Oh ! how I wish this butt er was done, Then off to the fields I'd be turning!" So she hurried the dasher up and down, Till the farmer called with half-made frown, "Churn slowly1" "Don't ply the churn so fast, my dear , It is no good for the butter , And will make your arms ache, too, I fear , And put you all in a flutter — For this is a rule wherever we turn , Don't be in a haste whenever you churn— Churn slowly !" "If you want your butter both nice and sweet, Don't turn with nervous jerking, But ply the dasher slowly and neat— You hardly know that you're working ; And when the butter has come, you'll say, 'Yes, surely, this is the better way'— "Chum slowly!" Now all of you folks, do you think that you A lesson can find in butter? Don't be in haste , whatever you do, Or get yourself in a flutter: And when you stand in Life's great churn , Let the fanner 's words to you return— "Churn slowly!" FRED'S WIFE UX W. N. J -KJN KLN3. "Wall, Mis' Lee, Low do you like Fred's wife? She 'pears to bo real clever." "Yes, Mis' Green, she's clever, but she ain't without her failin's." ''I suppose not. If there's anything on your mind you needn't be afeared to tell me, for you know I nevor repeat anvthinsr." '1Know you hev allers been keerful about such things. Wall, to speak plain, she's dredful extravagant." "My dear Mi3* Lee, you don't say so!1 ' "Yes, I do, and it's a fact. Now, Mis' Green, this is ft painful subject, and I wouldn't mention it to anybody else. But Minna wants ribbons and such things, and then, she don't under- stand cookia'. I have seen enough to know what I'm talkin' about I told Fred before he married her that he might do better, but he wouldn't hear to me. She can paint and sing, but she ain't fit for a farmer's wife. Fred i3 smart, if he is my son, but he's got a t>oor wife." "Wall, it's a pity, but I really think I must be goin' now. Do come over soon, dear Mis' Lee." Meanwhilo a far different sceno was being enacted in a low, dingy farmhouse •which was the home of Fred and Minna. Fred was reclining on a hard lounge in the long, narrow dining-room, suffering with the headache. It was a pretty sight to sec tho tall, graceful girl bend- ing over her stalwart young husband, bathing his throbbing temples. He had been very proud of hi3 lovely bride, and half the young men in town had suffered when he won the prize. At length Fred declared hi3 head was easier and told Minna she could see about supper, but still she lingered by his side. Finally she said in trembling tones : "Fred, there is something I want to ask you." "Very well, Minna, go ahead ; but I hope it is nothing very dreadful. You look pretty serious." "Please don't laugh, Fred ; it is an important matter to ma " "Go on, love." "You don't know how lonely I am without my papers and magazines." "Don't you have enough to do to oc- cupy your time, .Minna?' "Yes, but I do love to read, and—" "You can borrow the Weekly Won- der of father any time." "But I wan't a few magazines. Can't I have them, Fred?" "Minna, I am surprised. No won- der that mother thinks you are extrava- gant." "Does she think so, Fred?" "You know quite well that she does, but I did not think you could be so girlish. A married woman, twenty-one years old, wants to pass her time read- ing love stories and fashion articles. I hope you will banish such ridiculous ideas. Poor Minna went about her work with a heavy heart. Her peerless Fred, the man she had believed almost per- fect, had actually spoken harshly to her. She thought of the past and of tho present, and was obliged to admit that there was a great difference. Her girl- hood's home was spacious and elegant, with flowers, books and magazines, and an organ. Fred was a thriving young farmer, but during the hr.lfyear of their married life he had only provided the bare necessaries. Minna made some sad failures, as far as cooking was con- nama A One day Fred came in to find his pret- ty wife in tears. "What is the matter, love?" he asked tenderly. "Oh, Fred, I don't know what to do. I can't make any good bread." "You will learn, Minna." " I hope I shall," she responded, bit- terly. But as the day passed she did not seem to improve. The bread was heavy, the pastry a complete failure,and even the potatoes were not palatable. The neighbors talked, the hired men grumbled, and Fred laughingly declared that they would soon be confirmed dys- peptics;but it was no laughing matter to- Minna. She often shed bitter tears over her failures. Minna still longed for her papers and magazines, although she did not ask lor them again, and Fred decided that may not^ye.opportunity& observe and study hcr t To- toe sure, Miss Coupon may object to being made a study of, to being placed under the microscope, and then by-and-by turned aside as an imperfect specimen. But she has the same privilege hersolf, and would be sadly shocked if any one sup- posed that sho would accept a lover without some knowledge of his quali- fications. One might ask if she, on her side, had serious and matured designs when she answered hi3 notes, accepted hisinvitations, his bouquets, and con- fectionery ; if she were not also attempt- ing to discover if he were her ideal. We do not dispute the fact that there are many men who flirt, maliciously, so to speak, who do not mean to fall ia love, who have themselves well in hand ; but they need not bo confounded with those who are simply trying to discover their heroine. —[Harper's Bazar. Au "I ntellectu al Tramp. " In London, at this very moment, lives one of the brightest, the cleverest, the happiest of that class known as the "average'' woman. She is not young, not pretty, not fascinating, but she is healthy, ambitious and wise. For ten years this woman has not hadagencrous meal, except when invited to the house of friends, has not known what a vaca- tion was, or tho "change of air'' nowa- days considered so necessary to well be- ing, since her property was squandered by a faithle33 agent a decade ago. Sho is a cripple, walking with a crutch, and thus debarred irom many employments •whom n. hnhhl fi and a. rrn toh nrn dis- agreeable to employers. Sue cams her food and shelter by copying manuscripts —a most precarious business. Her " grub box" is oftener empty than full ; sho cannot often wed butter and coffue; a go-cart has charms superior to her garret She takes her empty box., tho cheerless garret, tho widowed butter, the un- mated coffee, not of absolute necessity, but of deliberate choice. Sho earns $15 a month, and has no more. Out of that pittance she buys her—always neat— clothes, and subscribes to Mudic's. She pays promptly her subscription to a literary club, as also to a dramatic so- ciety. No great theatrical event takes place, no fauious "first night," that she is not present, high up toward heaven, the pit regions being too expensive for her. She is thoroughly en rapport with every intellectual pulse of tho times, knows scores of clever people, and is invited to scores of pleasant houses. She is what may really be called a "tramp" in intellectual ways, but those ways are intellectual , and she speaks the lantiunEfe of them. —[Art Age. Fashion Mots*.

A writer in Wallace's Monthl y telU a good story of the famoushorse Mes3ensjcr, which had once belonged to a Mr. Bush, and which, after his transfer to other hands, bad acquired notoriety for his ferocity. It seems that years after he was sold Mr. Bush determined to see his old favorite, whom he fount, kept in a pasture surrounded by a fenco ten feet high, through a hole in which the food and water were passed to Messen- ger as if be were " a dangerous convict" 3Ir. Bush was warned not to enter the enclosure for his very life, but he went in. and, unobserved, concealed himself behind a tree and whistled.

Customs of the 70,000 True Hebrews in Salonika. In those days it is somewhat difficult to find anywhere peculiar people wlio are not public property; about the Mor- mons of America and the savages of Ceu- tral Africa we know as much, if not more, than wo know about ourselves ; so that it was with considerable satisfac- tion that I came across a peculiar people who in many respects out-Mormon Mor- mons, and have customs as quaint as any to bo found in Central Africa. More- over they live in Europe in the ancient city of Salonika, and come of the most ancient stock in the world, namely, tha Hebrew; they are bound together by ties that none dare break, they are a double-faced race, a race with two distinct religions, a race which leads two distinct lives, professing openly to be followers of Mahomed, while in pri- vate they profess a religion of their own accepting the old Hebrew traditions, yet believing in the first advent of their own Messiah, and living in daily ex- ucctation of his second coming. The Turks call them "Dunmchs," or "renegades," their Jewish brethren call themselves Maimeenim, or "truo be- lievers." For the sako of simplicity we will call them Dunmehs, and wo may take it for granted that tiiey are disliked by both their would-be-co-religionists, and in consequence they have been com- pelled to exercise a secrecy in their acts and deeds, a fact which has rendered them a mysterious people in tlm busy mercantile world. During a recent ststy at Salonica I set mysolf tho task of in- vestigating this people. Salonika may be termed a New Jeru- salem, as there are no less than seventy thousand of tho descendants of Abra- ham within its walls; almost all the business of the placo ia carried on by them; the quays are gay with them in their quaint costumes, the men with their long robes lined with fur over a tunic of stripped cotton or silk, whilo the women are decked in tho gayest color possible, and adorn their heads with caps of green or red, closely over their foreheads, and hang ing down be- hind in a thick trail embroidered with gold thread nnd terminating in a fringe of gold, while around their necks hang strings of pearls and other jewels. Theso Jews of Salonika are perhaps tho most fervid adherents of the quaint rabbinical doctrines to be found somewhere nowa- days. During the days before tho Pass- over you inny see Jewish women at the tombs outside the walls, in their Ions red cloaks and white mantles round their shoulders, wailing over their dead ; turbnncd rabbis stand at tho gate of Karamilia to conduct families, for a con- sideration , to the graves of their relatives, there to excite them to frenzy by read- ing portions of scripture, and final ly to drive them home again like sheep, when the ceremony is over, with lacerated nnns and facc3, uttering bitter waita. Their cemetery tho Jews call "tho house of tht living;" for tho dead thoy look upon as alive, and passing tho first eleven months after their departuro ia Gehenna , where they can intercede for the living ; consequently during this period the death wails are continued , which arc in point of fact in many cases more intercessory than tho outcome of genuine grief. If a rabbi of distinction dios, you sec Jewish women rush forward to thrust letters into his hand for delivery to de- parted friunda a3 ho is carried on the bier to "the house of the livinrr." On the Sabbath day no Jew of Salon- ika may carry any burden in hi* pocket —no money—, no tobacco, no scrip— to that a Jew with a cold has to wear a handkerchief around his waist. At a spot where the walls have been pulled down, of late year3 tho rabbis havo Etrctchcd a wire, so that tho idea of tho city being surrounded by walls may be kept up, and the computation of a Sab- bath day's iourncv not interlcrcd with.
