A Happy Home.

The first year of married lie is the most
important era in the history of husband
and wife. Generally as it is spent 50 is
almost subsequent existence. The wife
and husband then assimIate their views
and their desires, or else conjure up their
dislikes, and SO add fuel to their ejudi-
ces and animosiles for ever forward.
Il have somewhere read" says Rev.
Dir. Wise in his Bridal Greetings" of "a
bridegroom who gloried in his eccentrici-
lies" He requested his bride to accom-
pany him into the gatden a few days after
the wedding. He then threw line across
the roof of their cottage. Giving his wife
the end Of it, he reLreaLed to the other side
and exclaimed:
"Pull the line!''
81 can't" she replied.
''Pull with all your might, shouted the
whimsical husband.
But in vain were all the efforts of the
bride to pull over the line, so long as the
husband held on the opposite end. But
when he came round, and both pulled at
one end, it came over with great ease.
"There," said he, as the line fell from
the roof, "you see. how hard and ineffec-
tual was our labor when we pulled in op-
position to each other, but how easy and
pleasant it is when we both pull! together.
IL will be So, my dear, through life. If
we act together, it will be pleasant TO live.
Let us, therefore, al gays pull together"
In this illustration, homely as it may be.
there is sound philosophy. Husband aud
wife must mutually bear and concede. if
they wish 10 make home retreat of Joy
and bliss. One alone canuot make home
happy. There must be unioa of action,
sweetness of spirit, and great forbearance

we are unconscious that we have influence
at all--when we do not wish our conduct

re The OconomOwue "Free Press
learns from a source which ii considers re-
liable, that the Town Treasurer of Erie,
Washington county, Illinois, attempted to
rob himself Of the funds belonging to the
town in the following manner;
He told his wife he was gong to dis
tant part of the village, and that he would
not return until the next day. Soon after
lie had left a pedler stopped at the house,
and as he was friend, he obtained lodg-
ing for the night. The wife, unwittingly,
put him in the room which contained the
money. About ten O'Clock, hearing a
noise, she arose and opened the door, when
three men rushed in with their faces back
and otherwise disguised. Threatening to
shoot her il she raised an alarm, they went
up stairs to the pedler's room, and at
tempted to break in the door. After re-
peated trials it gave way, and as the fore
most lo5ber sprang in, ther pedler fired a
revolver, killing him, when the other TWO
fled. Upon examining the body OF the
robber, 1t vas found To be that Of the
Treasurer himself.
