THE GOLDSBORO MESSENGER, MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1886. THE TARIFF'S WAIL OF WOE. Election, oh, election. Is it really drawinsr near ? With its joys and with its sorrows, With its hope and with its fear, There's a minor in the carol, Feebly sounds the voice of Quay, Beaver seemeth disconcerted. Cooper's locks are turning gray ; And the hush is never broken By laughter light and low, As we listen, in the twilight. For the tariff's wail of woe. Oh, tariff, loyal tariff 1 i 'TIs not so very long Since we pressed her in the service, When things were going wrong. She made Rowan the Sheriff, J She vanquished Gross and Banes, She purified Dave Monat From all his sinful stains ; But now she 'seems rheumatic, She's hobbling rather slow. And wo listen, in the starlight. For the tariff's wail of woe. Oh 1 tariff,-faithful tariff! Alas, w,e can't but see The heavy rain-clouds lowering Above the O. O. P. Wo cannot strike the mixture Of water and of wine. All ragged in this garment, Erstwhile a bright carmine ; The railroad issue frights us, We know not where to go. So we weep, beneath the moonlight. At the tariff's wail of woe. N. Y. Star. AN EXPERIMENTAL COOK. When Fred Sibley married Alice Wheeler he took her to a well-furnished, comfortable home, and to all ap pearance life opened out most aus- Diciouslv for those two who had be come one. For a time all went well. Mrs Wheeler, the mother of Alice, lived with the vouncr couple, as had been planned before the marriage. She was a woman or erood sense ana ertaced herself as much as was consistent with her own self-respect, recognizing the right of the young people to perfect freedom under their own root-tree. hhe did more.- Fred's means were not adequate to the expense of keep iner a cook, and Mrs. Wheeler was a practical house-keeper. So she ac complished that part of the work with her own hands and furnished the vouner couple with those admirable meals which reached a historical fame as "MotherV cooking1." Alice Wheeler had been a teacher for some years when Fred married She was quite familiar with that rigid domestic economy which is the wealth of most womenrs lives but she had lived in an atmosphere of love and good-fellowship, where fault-finding was unknown. Her mother had man aged the little, household with wise provision, and Alice had given her time to sewing and intellectual cul ture. Of cooking and housekeeping she knew little. All this had to be explained to Fred, who declaredhe wanted a wife for a companion, instead of a drudge. Alice cave up her school and married him on1 these conditions, and intended tak ing private lessons from her mother in all the minutia of housekeeping mat ters. Why arje people never satisfied to let well enough alone? Fred Sibley had been married less than three months when he came home one day and found the usual well-cooked, nice ly-served dinner, and his wife presid ing in her accustomed nat home toilet. I believe there is always a certain person unamable to ears polite who ever since the days of Job has gone to and fro in the land, involving fami lies in domestic broils. He must have been at Fred Sibley's elbow that day and prompted him to say: "Alice, I wish you would cook a meal occasionally." ' "But Fred," reasoned Alice, gently, "you know I cannot cook. I have always been a student or a teacher." , "Every woman should know how to cook," continued Fred, in the grandi loquent tone a youncr man uses when he asserts his authority. i ou mignt as wejj say that every man ought to make his own clothes, or build his own house," answ ered Alice good-naturedly but with a strained inflection of voice "Do not the meals suit you now?" "Certainly," with a differential bow to Mrs. Wheeler, who wise woman took no part in conversation, "but I want my wife to know how to cook. Suppose your mother should be absent or ill, what would become of me then?" "What would become of me?" thought Alice with a quivering heart, but she answered quietly: "I shall learn sometime, Fred; you must have patience." She had it in her mind to surprise him some day with a delightful meal. "Some day is not the time, Alice. I wish you would cook the dinner to-day without the help from your mother. Roast a chicken, cook peas, asparagus and potatoes, and make my favorite birds' -nest pudding," and the new ! autocrat of the breakfast table went to his business leaving his wife with a : heightened color and displeased ex pression, for this sudden assumption of authority was distasteful to her. For this hnsband of hers was only her senior by a year, and they "didn't know everj'thing down in Judee," where he came from, either. Mrs. Wheeler scarcely glanced at her daughter as she rose from the table and removed the pretty break fast service. When the dishes were all in their places she went to her own room and locked herself in. Once during the forenoon she heard a sound of weeping, and opened her door. "What is it?" she called anxiously. "I've cut my fingers off, but its no matter," was the tearful answer. Dinner time came, so did Fred. Mrs. Wheeler came down after he was seat ed. Alice was in her own place, very much flushed, with the black, sym bolic characters or "the key of the kitebfen" inscribed on cheek and chin, and the half amputated finger tied up m an old kid glove sheath. Fred's greeting was not very re-assuring. "Why, Alice! You look like a chim ney sweep!" "I feel like one," was the answer. Fred began with an attempt to carve the chicken. Neither knife nor fork made the slightest impression. He laid them down. "Did you parboil it?" he inquired. "No. ' I didn't suppose chickens needed to be parboiled?" "Chickens don't," retorted Fred; old fowls do. Nobody living can dismember this one." Then he removed a cover and his lips began to curl. "What in what sort of a mess is this?" "Peas on toast," Answered Alice, i with a' brave swallowing of some ob struction in the throat her heart I probably. "Cats on toast," snapped Fred; "who ever heard of cooking peas in ! that way t" ' , V1 "You have forgotten to ask a bless- L-J Money Saved to Merchants Buying Their Goods at Home !

Fred instantly dropped his head and mumbled: "For what we are now about to re ceive the Lord make us thankful. Amen what sort of a stew is there in this dish?" "This is asparagus." "What's it all chopped up for like that? Well, I suppose I must dine on Eotatoes w-h-e-w! they're burnt as lack as my hat." "I believe they did scorch a little," said Alice coolly; "they boiled dry. What's that a sign of. mother?" But at that moment Mrs. Wheeler excused herself, and without answer ing her daughter's question went to her room. "frivfi mesnmfi rmddinc!" Fred com- manded in the martial tone in which Gail & Ax, LoriUard, and R. R. Mills SllllffS. or give me death!" He devoured a plateful while his wife regarded him as if he were some new zoological specimen. "Is the pudding good?" she inquired timidly. ? "It doesn't need any praising," re marked her lord and master. "Give me another dose." -e Then the worm turned. Alice rose from the table and all unconcious of her chief-cook-and botte washer ap pearance confronted the would-be household tyrant. "Mr. Sibley," she said in a clear, firm voice, and with what Semantha Allen would call a "majestic mein," "I have cooked the first and last din ner I shall ever cook for you. If you Oct. 7, 1886.-tf had given me one word of praise or encouragement I should probably have gone on slaving and drudging to the end trying to pamper your despotic appetite with impossible cooking. Now I shall do my own work in my own way. And I will never again defraud professional cook of her just perquis 1 ts She was as good as her word. The next day a red-handed daughtei of Ossian was installed in the kitchen, and Alice resumed her situation of teaching, with more satisfactory pu pils than pots and pans. For a week Fred sulked and felt himself aggriev ed, but he has long since decided that his wife is a better helpmeet that his warranted. cook, ana very wisely they never dis, cuss bygones.

A scene-painter's outfit and a car penter's tool-chest were hurrying down the street when they met a toiling dramatist. "Out of the way," they said haught ily, as the toiling dramatist bared his head and bowed low; "we are going down to the lumber-yard to get a new American play." "But," pleaded the toiling drama tist, "here is one I have just written. The heroine is a pure young girl " "That settles it," they said harshly; "its domestic production. What we want is an American play that is pure ly English and hasn't a throb of any sort of purity in the whole five acts, and we can make it ourselves. Awav. Rochester, N.
