Praise Your Wife.

Praise your wife, man for PHYS sake
give her little encouragement. it won't
hurt her. She has made your house
comfortable /; your hearth bright and
shining, your food agreeable; for PHYS 8
sake tell her you thank her, if nothing
more. She don't expect it: it will make
her eyes open wider than they have for
these ten years, but it will do her good
for all that, and you too.
There are many women to-day thirst
ing for the word of praise. the language
of encouragement. Through summers
heat and winters toll they have drudged
uncomplainingly, and so accustomed
have their fathers, brothers and hus-
bands become to their monotonous la
bors, that they look for and upon them
as they do the daily rising of the sun
and its daily going down. Homely
everyday life may be made beautiful
by ar appreciation of its very homeli-
ness. You know that if the floor is
clean. manual labor has been performed
to make it so. You know that if you
can take from your drawer clean shirt
whenever you want it, somebody's fin
gers have ached in the toll of making it
so fresh and agreeable, so smooth and
lustrous. Everything that pleases the
eye and the senses has been produced
by constant work, much thought, great
care and untiriug efforts, bodily and
mentally.
1t is not that many men do not ap-
preciate these things, and feel flow of
gratitude for the numberless attentions
bestowed upon them in sickness and
health. but they are so selfish in feeling.
They don't come with hearty. why,

ouble Executicn--MelancholyS Scenes

Double Executicn--Melancholy Scenes
Charlotte Jones, Henry Fife and
Monroe Stewart were convicted last fall
at Pittsburgh Of the murder of Geo.
Wilson and his sister--the uncle and
aunt Of Charlotte. On Friday the lash
Of Feb, Henry and Charlotte were exc
cuted. They each had written state
ments. and both say that Stewart was
not concerned in tfe murder.
In Flies statement he said:
In q few short moments Of time, l
shall have answered with my life for the
terrible crime l have committed, and
which l have already freely confessed.
1t must not be supposed from what has
been published in the newspapers here
from time to time since my arrest, that
| am Indifferent or careless about the
awful fate am now to suffer, nor must
it be supposed that have suffered no
compunction of conscience for the deed
that has brought me to fe1on's death.
Oh, no. Ihave already undergone more
tortue of soul than thousand deaths ;
and, oh A! how often, how often have
wished I could restore George Wilson
and his sister back to life. Vain
thoughts!
Maddened with thirst for gold and
stimulated by drink, gave them the
fatal blow that robbed them Of life and
sent their souls without warning to the
bar of God. My fervent prayer now is,
and long has been. that they have been
made happy by my wickedness. and
that their immortal souls are among the
redeemed of Christ, and l pray Al
mighty God for his pardon. and that
may be permitted to hope that in the
world of spirits. may be there, and
then beg them to be forgiven.
Charlotte Jones' statement contains
the following explanation of her mo
tives:
I have now but a few moments t.
live, and ! wish to make statement 0
the truth. Since my arrest, have beer
represented as person hardened ane
destitute Of feeling, and without peni
tence for the crime in which have beel
engaged. Any statements that l wa
not sorry are untrue. because ! hav'
suffered continually since the perpetra
ton of that offence-more than tongue
can tell and if l had the power to re
trace my steps. and restore my uncl
and aunt to life, there is nothing bu
what would be willing to do to acco1np
lish it. The reason why ! did this. wa
the great love ] had for Henry Fife
and in order to get money to go to hous

this crime was committed, Fife left m

reason for leaving me. that he was to
poor to support me. and that he wa
compelled TO leave me and 60 and hur
work. He did leave me. and l was ur

Mormon Flirtatiou5.

Under the polygamic or "plurality"
system Of Mormondcm. as they prefer
to call it. there is, as might be expected,
many a new and curious development
of social life. A recent visitor to Salt
Lake City relates the following:
Elsewhere the attentions Of the for

a girl knows that her partner may at
anv moment be her lover and her suitor,
though his wife is dancing in the pis-a-

by the circumstance. Men, too, Of the

and tell her she is no Mormon to look

foolish expectation of keeping an entire

Than we had dared to own before,
Which then We hid not, which then we hid not.
We saw it in each others eye,
And wish'd, in every murmur'd sigh,
To speak, but did not to speak, but did not.
She felt my lips impassioned touch
Twas the first time dared so much,
And yet she child not, and yet she clid not;
But whispered o'er my burning brow,
"Oh! do you doubt love you nowi"
Sweet soul I did not sweet soul did not.
Warmly felt her bosom thrill,

Though gently bid not, though gently bid not;

And vet who did not, and yet who did not.
