BE- No married mar ever prospered in
the world without the cooperation of his
wife. If she unites in mutual endeavors,
or rewards his labors with an endearing
smile, with what confidence will he re-
sort to his daily toll, meet difficulty, and
encounter danger, if he knows that he is
not spending his strength in vain, but
that his labor will be rewarded by the
sweets OF home! Sohcitude and d:sap-
pointment enter the history of every mans
life, and he is only half provided for his
voyage who finds but an associate for.

darkness and distress no sympathizing

Our Idol,

Close the door gently,
Bride the breath,
Our little earth-angel
Is talking with death.
Gently he woos her
She wishes to stay:
Ills arms are about her,,
He bears hcr awy. = ..
Music comes fioating- 49,. =

The sweet welcome home.
Come stricken weeper,
Come to the bed:
Gaze ON the sleeper
Our idol is dead!
Smooth out the ringlets,
Close the dark eyes
No wonder such beauty,
Was claimed in the skies.
Cross the hands gently
Ger the white breast,
So like wild spirit
Sirayed from the the blese
Bear her out softly,
This idol of ours
Let her gravc-slumbers
BE mid the wild flowers.

The TRUE LADY.-A celebrated writer
says; mo woman can be a lady who will
wound or mortify another. No matter
how beautiful, how refined, how cultiva-

CATTLE on RAILRoADs.-An important
decision was made, says the Mobile Tri-

Wisconsin, on the 5th inst, in the case of
Henry Stucken VS.. the Milwaukee and
Mississippi Railroad Company, from Craw-
ford county, for killing cattle. The Court
sent the case for a new trial, but decided
that railroad companies are not bound
to fence against cattle and that they are
liable for gross negligence only in cases
of injury to cattle wrongfully upon the
track. Railroad companies are bound to
use ordinary care merely. This decision
is in accordance with the recent decision
of other States.

again to do so, though stood alone.

thereby attain the Presidency.
