This wearing a three year old botiucl to church all summer becau-e a half a dezrti juveniles want new shoes, bounds or bats every time a loose dollar is floating around the house, i don t believe io it.

Happy al home! Here is a dollar and a half per day, and if his family .counted only of himself and his wife arid ona or two juvenile representatives be roigbi I live as independent and happy ns a kiug on !his throne; but now O Lord! be haf finished bis day 'a work and with bis eyes bent on the ground and his shoulders a little rounding he starts for his home. Long ere bo lifted the latch be heard clamorous voices inside bis four-room tenement, and he half wished he was able to procure food and lodging some where else, but he wau t i neither could be stay outside and bug his shaggy overcoat in such a cold north wester aa was Iryinp to r-nilfreal hi biood, SO he crept with a slow pace up, up, tip, till be reached tbe best tenement he could afford 10 hire under exisliug circumstances. 'pen iug the door, oh dear! Ilieru was llueben mounted on the centre of the table ; in im agination be was converted iuto a star preacher, with this improve mcnt his ser mon was all otiginsl Around him wero grouped Hilly and Tommy aud Dan and Ruth and and O ! 1 can't remember such 11 lift of names performing orchestra, hav ing from some unknowu cause got ideas of preaching aud theatricals mixed up together. Hilly had braced on his kuees a Urge tin pan bottom up wiih a silver spoon iu each hand for drumsticks, (a gift from grand mother ou Mr. Dixona wedding day when mictions were not even dreamed of.) Tommy gave vent to his enthusiasm by various unearthly yells and shrieks th.ough Ihe long tube of a tunnel. Dau aud Ruth seemed to prefer vocal music, one singing Old Dan Tucker, tbe other Old Dog Tray. A younger member grew angry because be eouldnt make as much noise as the rest, and then followed eertaiu gjinnastic exer cises in which tho table was upset and when it was raised from the floor it was minus one leaf and ouo leg a ictiui to a large family. At this moment Mr. Dixon's patience gave way, and throwing the door back with force be stepped within, and iu true door keeper or theatrical style assisted them all to seat; in endeavoring to avail themselves of their fatber'a politeness tho star preaeber nearly eouiiuiited a homicide by running against Dan, thereby aaviug a aurgical operation TuuiUiy upbct a tea -Uttie of Lot Water that tooI on tlie atove hearth while Ji ith cram - bled her dolls into her aprou aud crawled under the table which the futue1J .11.1l liaililv ptot ped agaiubt ihe wall io bp iflot u to reetore order, but llie foimcrpujjiit or nage mi, looo niui h ii.lnrpil to rmniiii .tniinnare to down it came raining the bulnp of tune ou the juvenile head beneath i.d oau.ing variouti amputations of limbs lnoug tbe dolU.

Mrs. Dixon was bent aha anruuaeu ia lurui, sai- low iu complexion, and in mental improve- ments she could scarcely keep pace with the times sufficiently lokrow who was President or whether there had been any new books published since Reuben firt began to try tho strength of bis lungs. Well, bedlam mu-t have been a place of solitude and quiet wbeffTSmpared with Mr. Dixon's home As tbe mother came in the door, " Why don't jou stay at home and take rare of the children !'' au the hus band's first salutation. ' Reuben's been prearbin' broke ihe table mother," was Dan' first remark. Here the preacher started in pursuit of the tell tale who darted past bis mother iu- i lending lo seek safety iu flight, but one f.ii-e tep at the lop of the stairs brought Inn .ilh bruised limbs to the bottom, and then w ilU bruised nrntslo the bo.tom and men the occupants of the tenement beneath , , - , ," . . ate the faults of the Dixou family re ing that so many el.il.ireo were a nuisanoe .., any house. Ut course tug h liitell.gence could not be very flattering to the owners of the juvenile band and a conversation ensued that would re.iuire too much lime to put in type.
