SHE NEVER THOUGHT.

A lady possessing a treasure of a domestic was surprised and angry to learn that said treasure was about to leave her employ. “ I consider your conduct very un. grateful,” she said angrily, “ I have paid you good wages, and taught you to do many things, and this is the way you treat me. It is shameful.”

The girl murmured something about being sorry, but persisted in her determination to go.

“ You can at least tell me why you are leaving,” said her mistress. “ Well,” said the girl, “ when you were sick I gave my bed to the nurse and slept on the floor, and I cannot get over the cold I caught then ; and carrying all your meals up stairs gave me a hurt in the side, and I froze my fingers hanging out clothes, and the doctors say its too hard, an’ if I don’t quit I’ll break down.’’

“Nellie, is this true?” asked her mistress with tears in her eyes ; “ I never thought of it before. You shall stay and I will get someone to help you, and I’ll take care of you myself until you are quite well and strong. Nellie stayed, and her mistress did as she promised, and this true story is com mended to other housekeepers who have a treasure they are thoughtlessly oven burdening. —Detroit Free Press. ~— STUB ENDS OF THOUGHT. The mind makes the morals. A short horse is soon curried only when one has a curry-comb. A rolling stone gathers power. Early to bed and early to rise gives a man sunshine in his eyes. Sin withour sorrow is unpardonable. Matrimony is what you make it. Youth sings, Age listens. When a woman reasons she hardens. The power of beauty knows no laws of statics or dynamics. Energy should be the slave of direction. —Detroit Free Press.
