DOMESTIC CONFIDENCE:
THE HUSBANDS LESSON
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.

"Why what is the matter, Williams,
you look serious this morning?'
ooh, nothing very important, Phil
lips, only short Of funds, and got Il note
to pay-any to spare!'
"No-I am sorry tosay have not
| paid a large note yesterday, which
pretty well cleaned me out"
"That is uniortunate-l counted up
on your aSSiStancc-unluckiIy | prom
i>cd my wife Il certain sum to-day, and
when ! reached my store, found an
unexpected demand that would leave
IN empty purse, and yet could not be
put oil.'
"Ncvcr mind, man, put off your wife
she will wait
"Shc will think herself very hardly
used if she has to wait
"Not if she is informed of the reason
why YOU do not fulfill your promise"
"My dear fellow, | never make bnsi-
ness explanations to my wife What
do women know about busincsS%
"And do you mean to say that your
wife is never made acquainted with your
incomcW
"Not in the least; what is the use OF
telling her anything about it? The
mans duty is to provide the mcans,-
the woman's to see to their outlay"
"Ncry true; but how is the woman
to regulate her expenditure, unless she
has knowledge of what her husband
can provide "
"To tell you truth, Phillips, my i'm
preston is that wives generally are
much more interested in getting what
they want, than in considering what
their husbands can afford"
"My dear sir, you make u lamentable
mistake; true woman, and there are
many such, has her husbands interests
thoroughly at heart; if she loves him
truly she will be anxious for her expen'
diturc to accord with his income"
"But there is not one woman in q
hundred who knows what her husband
income really is"
"The greater the folly, Williams, Of
those who keep them in ignorance
The marriage bond is one in which eacl
party covenanting should have unlimi

worse than nothing. But / see that

LONG DRESSES.


The "Autocrat" of the Atlantic
Monthly throws the following:
but coniound the makc-bclicvc wo-
men we have turned loose in our
streets. where do they come from ,
Why, there isn't beast or bird that
would drag It's tail through the dirt in
the way these creatures do their dres-
scS. Because Il queen or Il duchess
wears long robes on great occasions, Il
maid of all work, or factory girl,
thinks she must make herself Il nui-
sance through the street, picking up
and carrying about with hcr--bah. !.
that's what | call getting vulgarity in
to your bones and marrow. Making
believe to be what you are not is the
essence OF uIgarity.
Show over dirt is the one attribute to
vulgar people. If any man can walk
behind one Of these women, and see
what she rakes up as she goes, and not
feel squcmish, he has got a strong
stomach. wouldn't let one of them
into my house without serving them as
David did Saul at the cave OF the will
dcrness-cut off their skirts.
Don't tell me that a true lady ever
sacrifices the duty Of keeping all around
her sweet and clean, to the wish Of ma
king vulgar show. won't believe it
ola lady.
There are some things which no
fashion has any right to touch, and
cleanliness is one of these things.

loved thee for thyself alone,
The world rcproycd my choice;
Yet well thou know'st claimed thee still
With an unialtcring voice.
They called thee fckle--oh, how blind
Fond woman's lovc will be-!
l dceWcd it but an idle tale,
And trusted ull in thee.
Ny father said that thou vert poor,
Improvidcnt and wild
lie said that want and penury
Would kill his gentle child.
| answered not, but secretly
scorned the tale he told;
And then stole forth and pledged to thoe
The hoiress and her gbld.
My mother said, II do not heed
Thy lovers want of wealth,
But will he fondly cherish thee
In sickness and in health?
He has the restless eye Of ono
W ~ i'NNN II rowing ne;
llr lovcs not rs thou shoud'st be loved.
Oh! do not be his wife,"
My fathers anger moved me not,
Nor yet my mothers tears;
Thy destinations wrancd my heart
from "yc, the growth Of years.
With few and lccting tears left
The haunt, Of early youth,
And, placing this weak hand in thine,
ltsustcd 10 thy Truth,
My chosen dwelling would have been
Some undi,tmhrd retreat;
But, led by thee, trod the halls
Where pleasures yoturics meet.
And if with JOY heard them praise
The beauty of thy pride,
Twas but because dearly loved
My husbands glance ofpridc.
But soon Il drcary time camcon,
often wcpt alone;
And when we met, thy voicchnd lost
Its former gentle tone.
UTTERED no compluiut-thou lnow'nt

And ii my pale check chidcd thee,
IT was no fault of mine.
They said my boastcA wealth was spont--
smiled ut such Il loss;
"My husbands love was more to me,
Far more than boarded dro,s
"And wa, ii only thi, that caused
Those frowns upon hi, brow?
That wealth ha, been hi, banr," Iciicl;
I'VE shah be happy now.'
Vain hope! thou now dost shun the come

And will love thee stil.

\ MARRIAGE IN ALABAMA, IN 1890.
Upon the Tombigby and Lake Ten
saw the people still lived without laws,
and without the rite Of matrimony.-
For years, the sexes had been in the
habit Of pairing oft, and living together,
with the mutual promise Of regular
marriage, when ministers or magis-
tratcS should make their appearance in
the country.
An amusing incident will here be re-
lated, in which a young couple were
united by tunctioNary not hitherto
known as participating in such rcd
rites
The house ofSumuci Minis, veal
thy Indian countryman, was the most
spacious in the country, and hithcr the
young and the gay dockcd to parties,
and danced to the music furnished by
the Crcoles Of Mobile and others, for
tbc country abounded in fddlers Of
high and low degree. Daniel Johnson
and Miss Elizabeth Lindcr had, for some
time, loved each other. She was rich,
and he was poor, and, Of course, the pa
rents orthc former objected to Il pniri1g.
On Christmas night; u large party was
assembled ut "OId sam Minis aud the
very forests rcs0undcd with music and
merry laughter. In the midst of the
enjoyment, the lovers, in company with
several young people Of both sexes, Sc
crctly left the house, entered some ca
noes, padded down Lake Tcnsaw, into
the Alabama, and arrived at Fort Stod-
dart IN hour before daylight. Captain
Shaumhurg, who had risen early to
make bis cgg-nog, was implored tojoin
the lovers in the bonds Of matrimony.
The proposition astounded the good-na-
turcd old German, who protested his ig-
norancc Of all such matters, and assured
them that he was only military COM
mandant, having no authority whatcv-
or to make people man and wife. They
entrcatcd, telling him, with truth, that
the Federal Government had placed
him there MS general protector and
regulator OF affairs, and that the ease
before him demanded bis sanction and
adjustment. After the cgg-nog had cir
cuatcd pretty freely, the commandant
placed the lovers before him, and, in Il
stcntorian voice, pronounced the follow
ing marital speech;
81, Captain Shaumherg, Of the 2nd
Regiment Of the United States Army,
and Commandant Of Fort StOddart, do
hereby pronounce you man and wife.
Go home behave yoursclvcs-multipIy
and rcpIen>h the Tensaw country"
