thing, which the Apostle Paul pictures
to US, bachelor though he was) when
he wrote.
"Wivcs, submit yourselves unto your
own husbands, as unto the Lord
Husbands, love your wives, even as
Christ also loved the Church, and gave
Himself for it. That He might pre-
sort it to Himself a glorious Church,
not having spot or wrinkle, or any such |
thing; but that it should be holy, and .
without blemish. So ought men to love
their wives, as their own bodies. He
that lovcth his wife, loveth himself
For no man ever yet hated his own
flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it,
even as the Lord the Church.
"For we arc members of His body,
of His flesh, and of His bones. For
this cause shall man leave his father
and his mother, and shall be joined un-
to his wife; and they two shall be one
flesh. This is a great mystery; but l
speak concerning Christ and the
Church. Nevertheless, let every one
of you, in particular, so love his wife,
even as himself, and the wife see that
she reverence her husband. 4"
With the sweet knowledge in a Low
ing woman's heart that her husband
loves her, even as himself, surely it
would not be grievous to submit to,
obey, and reverence him. Her hus-
bands love, think, is among the dear
estrights she may claim in this world.
But indeed I did not expect to 50 off

to "Aunt Siss."
think she is somewhat unjust in
her declaration as to city ladies detest-
ing dish-cloths. Well, 1 cannot speak
! for city ladies', but from experience and
observation, can say that the toOn
ladies (married ones in particular) are
generally industrious and neat house
keepers They take especial pains in
furnishing their homes tastofully, and
keeping them orderly. I know we
farmers wives have mostly far more to
do; but fear we neglect too much the
tasteful noatness that characterizes the
town ladies'.
And then I disagree with "Aunt
Sis" in regard to her neutral position
in politics. You know the Apostle Paul
bids us provoke one another unto love,
aud not only unto love, but also to good
l0orEs, and l am anxious to provoke
"Aunt Siss" to write something more
for the News. think it a woman s
duty so far as lies in her power, to un-
derstond national affairs; to read, to
Judge for herself, and train her child
ron to be patriotic, to do JUSTLY and,
Iif she has none, to influence those
around her,
Do not think, "Aunt Sis" when I
talk little on politics, that cannot
cook, make beds, &c. have been in
the business nearly ever since l can
remember, and though I need still to
learn much, yet from the frequent com-
pliments passed upon my cooking by a
certain dear somebody at my house, who
dearly loves good things to eat, have
come to the conclusion that 1 am not
much behind the times So much Of il
have 1 to do, that 1 find but little leis-
ure to write; and were it not that this
right hand Of mine is about equal to a
"sowing-machine, 4" / fear would not
get to indulge in this pleasure often.
If "Auut Siss" does not talk any up
on political questions, she would be q
rarity in this part of the country
Down this way, it seems that "tho least
